”If this brief was proposed, researched, written, filed, and otherwise conceptualized and orchestrated entirely by a Christian group, one might reasonably question who is actually speaking here.”
Many English (mis)translations of John's Gospel use "Jews". This has some disastrous consequences. As we head towards Holy Week, we need to change our approach.

Word games, anyone? Some in Congress are pushing a bill to pay parents cash for their kids. What does the word “pusher” bring to mind? Also, the words “cash for …”mean an exchange. Cash for goods. Cash for services. Cash for kids. In conjunction with “pay parents,” perhaps the government hopes to “pay parents in exchange for their kids.”

‘Do you trust me?’ This is often a loaded question, without a clear or safe answer. In Disney’s Aladin, it’s asked by a conman turned hero. Sometimes just asking the question is an invitation to trouble. Outside of a very limited group (mostly relatives), my inclination would be to answer that query with a skeptical, ‘We’ll see.’ To a certain extent, God is asking that question to our ancestors at the foot of Mount Sinai in this week’s Torah reading.
