Not Shit

Jesus had to become one of us. Jesus had to lose himself in this world. In this mire. God … had to mix himself up with the shit. To, like, save us.

And what did they do? Crucify him in shit. And then he raised himself from the shit … He’d had enough of the shit …

He wanted to free us from our sin, apparently. The sin of shit. To take upon himself all the shit – the shit of shit.

What is this, shit theology?

And did he redeem the shit?

He redeemed us, not the shit. He paid our debts.

And left us in the shit.

But we don’t carry around all the sin, not now. We’re not as compromised.

What about original sin? Is that original shit? The shit of life. The shit of existence?

Are we shit, too? Am I shit?

Oh you’re shit – definitely. You’re nothing other than shit.

So Jesus was part shit. Because he was part us. And we’re part him.

Are we? Are we part not-shit? Well, that’s something.
