Sister Rosetta Tharp may sound like she has a bird's-eye view, but what she has here is an intimate knowledge of Christian culture. See, everybody has experienced the pain of betrayal at the hands of a false friend, but only those who've experienced it in church have known the pain of being told that the actions of their betrayers are sanctioned by "a personal relationship with Jesus Christ".
Yeah, no.
I should probably have posted this over on Dear Dominionists. If I had, I could've given y'all the relevant Bible verse, but that would have meant leaving a lot of people out. So, let me say this: If your god sanctions gossip and betrayal, it's time to find a new one.
Here's Sister Rosetta Tharpe with "Don't Take Everybody To Be Your Friend".
