Clearly the best way of reading that passage.<\/p><\/div>\n

A public service announcement because for some reason, people are still confused about the obvious.<\/p>\n

On their Facebook page, the author of the “sermon” clarified by reiterating how Jesus had a really bad idea, but it’s ok because he let himself get talked out of it.\u00a0\u00a0 Sure, one could<\/em> read the passage<\/a> in the usual, mundane, orthodox way–that Jesus deliberately gave her a hard response as an opportunity for her to make her wonderful confession of faith that even being a dog at this Master’s table is a great blessing.\u00a0 But where’s the fun in that?\u00a0 It’s so much more avant garde<\/em> to teach that Jesus was really being a huge bag of d**ks, but had a change of heart and said he was sorry.<\/p>\n
