Colbert Theology

Do we really follow Jesus? Or do we follow Paul? Or perhaps do we follow our church pastor? As I understand Jesus, he wants us to follow his example. Many in the fundamentalist Christian Tradition, I believe follow Paul, or other theologians rather than Jesus. Why is this? My guess is because it is easier to discuss what the after live will be like rather than strive to bring Gods kingdom to earth by loving our neighbor.

Steven Colbert's recent interview with Tony Perkins brings this dynamic to live. Colbert asks Tony, where in the bible does Jesus talk about homosexuals. To which Perkins comment, Paul does.
