God forbid that Jesus should ever adopt any
Non-negotiable opinion about some matter of religion,
For if he did, how could he possibly be the all-accepting sponsor
To all the disagreeing camps who insist on calling themselves his own?
He must continue to put himself at their disposal,
Preferably agreeing with them at every turn,
Or if not that, then hand-waving away
All their disagreeing as nothing.
Otherwise, the whole religion would scatter—
Except for those few freaks who insist
On slavishly adopting the whole
Of the Master’s opinions
For their very own.
And what sort of camp could ever
Be built by people of that sort?
