A Trickster God and the Worst Wedding Ever

This week, Christian nationalist Joel Webbin says the quiet

part out loud: lie to voters about your theocratic goals until you've got the

power to enact them. It's grotesque and profoundly un-American — but is

deception, weirdly, the one piece of the playbook that's actually biblical?

Then we wrestle with the baffling parable of the wedding

banquet, where a king burns a city, fills the hall with strangers, and casts

one guest into outer darkness over a missing robe — a story Matthew, Luke, and even the Gospel of Thomas each tell differently, all while pointing the finger at a different villain.
