1) Jesus would not have been obssessed with class warfare. He would not have found any and every excuse to take truckloads of money from small businesses, big businesses (anyone who creates jobs, really) and redistribute it to those who have done the very least for their own station in life. Jesus would not have been on board with the welfare state liberals seek to turn America into. Money doesn't matter, eternity matters.

2) Jesus would not have cared more about the sexual convenience of women than the killing of fetuses. Jesus would not have treated partial birth abortion as a virtue.

3) Jesus would not race-bait the black community over the cliff of paranoid bigotry for personal gain.

4) Jesus would not get in the way of any and every kind of attempt to curb the frivolous lawsuits that are sodomizing our health care industry.

5) Jesus would not have supported labor unions strong-arming money out of the hands of the little guy under the guise of "helping" him, only to turn around and make it so expensive for companies to hire Americans that they go overseas...all while giving all his money to one party, whether he supports that party or not.

6) Jesus would not have defended liberal papers when they called terrorists to let them know the FBI was about to raid them. Jesus would not have defended liberal papers when they needlessly exposed the inner-workings of classified anti-terror programs.

7) Jesus would not call it "freedom of speech" when the National Man-Boy Love Association distributes "rape and escape" manuals to child molesters to help them evade capture. Jesus would not represent NAMBLA free of charge in every state and take every single state to court to bring an end to sex offender registrations.

8) Jesus would not have insisted that God must undefine the fundamental definition of marriage (a Judeo-Christian binding ritual between God and man) to make a fringe group of sexual deviants feel more mainstream.

9) Jesus would not have supported giving more money to already rich and powerful (tax hikes) to create more bureacracies to keep dumb people from having painful consequences for their actions (welfare state), thus removing the capability of stupid people to improve their station in life-especially being that the Bible says that the enemy of the people is the tax collector.

10) Jesus would not have opposed every single kind of national security measure taken to prevent another 9/11 (Luke 22:36 ).

Out of curiousity, what race do you think Jesus would have been?

You have serious issues, aquapub.

Guuuuns, Gawd, and Glooooooray!!!! Hallelujah, puh-raise tha Lawd!!!!
 
I think he would have been pure hell in Foosball
 
Newsflash. Jesus would never be elected president either.

Funny; I see him more as an air hockey guy. That whole floating/walking on water thing seems to work out well. And if I can be REALLY offensive, wouldn't the foosball handles get stuck in his stigmata?

sound thinking. Probably really good at "PopaShot"
 
During His ministry, Jesus stressed the fact many times that the religous men who eventually called for his execution hypocrites because of, among other trhings, their utter carelessness towards the poorer member of their societies.

Jesus would not have called for the execution of the men who killed him. In fact, I believe he called for forgiveness for them.

No, Jesus does not support the corruption of many liberals. But he is much closer to their ideology, if not tactics, then he was to conservatism.

Oh, and as for #8, do i need to spell out the story when Jesus said that the one who is free of sins throw the first stone at the adulterer?

The whole point ofthe division between the old and new testament is that while the old teaches the need for justice, the new teaches that forgiveness and mercy will prevail.

Anyway, if you conservative sleaze bags don't want him, I think we got a spot in the outfield open. I've checked and God hasn't registered wuth the GOP.

Whatever floats your boat kiddo.
 
That depends on your definition of liberal. In the United States your basic asertation is correct, Jesus is not a liberal. People like Jesus don't tie themselves to something like a political party or philosophy, he was his own man.

The actual meaning for the word is essentially someone who holds a view that the status quo should be less restrictive against individuals freedoms. And that is all Jesus did. Everything he said and did related to the loosing of peoples views of other people to be more tolerant and compassionate. Jesus is as liberal as a human being, or son of god to some, can get.
 
Anyone else find it rather presumptuous, aquapub saying what Jesus would and wouldn't do in this day and age? Assuming that Jesus existed and all that, but that's another argument.

But seriously, the only one who knows what any given person would do or support is that person. The rest of us can only speculate.

I doubt Jesus would fall for jingoism.
 
Jesus was a bit of a socialist as well.

The bible in fact is a bit of a socialist book. Do you know how many references there is of giving money to the poor? Lots.

I don't think Jesus would be wearing an elephant button or a donkey button either.

Aqua you rage at others of being partisan. But you are the king, neh, the master of partisan rhetoric. I mean, are you actually unwell??

Yes, Jesus, like liberals would have done nothing to create justice in THIS world, and would have done nothing to stop people from attacking America. That is why Jesus, like Democrats, would never have belonged in charge of the military under oath to defend this country.

BTW, I'm pretty sure Jesus would've minded Clinton swearing on a bible and then lying-and I'm not just talking about the two times he told the lie that he would defend this country.

Yeah, I'm sure Jesus was a big fan of abortion, but would merely disagree with the way Democrats champion it. :lol:

Yeah, when the Bible called the enemy of the people the tax collector, I felt it lashing out at the man. :roll:

Socialism: class warfare; taking from the people who create all the jobs and giving it to the poor, slowing the economy to a crawl and eventually sodomizing everyone involved.

Sure, Jesus liked mercy for the meek, but Jesus wasn't obssessed with envy, greed-based redistribution of wealth that actually ends up hurting the little guy-THAT'S how he differs completely from liberals.

Let's not forget that Jesus considered wealth to be a corrupter and considered the poor and the suffering to be spiritually on top of the world. You think that means he would throw rich people's money at the poor? Wrong. That interpretation that completely misses his point.

"The meek shall inherit the Earth."

Funny how the son of the all-knowing didn't even know about America.:doh
Jesus would have seen swearing on the bible as blasphemy. The same thing with the nationalistic pledge. I am certain he would not have been impressed with "In God We Trust" on money.:roll:
 
It seems to me that the Jesus Myth paints a pretty good picture of anarchism if anything.

Agreed. Second most mentioned theme in the old testement.

I know of zero examples of the old testament talking of a government organized to redistribute wealth.

The rest of us can only speculate, sure. But aquapub knows for sure, and says so.

Good for you, aquapub.

lefties don't think in terms of private charity-some project their own failings on society as a whole and thus demand a socialist government. In reality, most of those who push socialism claim altruism when in reality greed and a desire for power is the true driving force.

It is completely idiotic to assert that current political groupings are relevant to someone existing 2000 years ago

I find anarchism to be completely relevent to the supposed teachings of Jesus. Free will and the personal responsibility it entails fits perfectly into anarchism.

Trying to fit these writings into socialism is laughable however so we agree at least on that. If it is wrong to steal, it is wrong to form a goverment who's purpose is to steal. that much is obvious.
