I just think it's funny that he took so much issue with what I said (citing two things that Jesus, you know, actually did) that it caused him to launch into this political tirade.

I think its funny that he must know he screwed himself up but is still digging himself deeper trying to stand by it

They all preach compassion, and understanding, yet the posses none of these qualities themselves. So, excuse me while I not pay attention to ANYONE who pulls out the Christ card in any way, shape, form, capacity, or context.

Good points and I agree. That's why I'm disgusted with the occupy movement doing this.

Jesus was certainly not a pompous, oft-erring military megalomaniac who was about to nuke China when he was finally relieved.

True, but Jesus said to his own disciples about their faith, "How much longer do I have to put up with you oh ye men of little faith"

actually I just threw him in there. because I like and respect him plus he said, "I'll shall return"

Sure Mac was wrong about nuclear warfare to nuke China with ten nukes, but it took another man of God, Harry Truman, to stop him.

As for the 99% people they sure don't act like Christians, down in Oakland is the closes one on my TV, to me.

I see: a discussion goes like this now:
claiming something and when asked for something to back up that claim, saying: "Oh, you can't proof the opposite!" :06:

So lefties can't be Christians, because they all see Jesus as a socialist, and some German guy said 150 years ago that religion is opium for the masses? Or are all left Christians thus Junkies?
:hmmm: a mystery

And the leftists perverts this to fit their desire to feel good about themselves for "caring" without actually making any personal effort or sacrifice.

Oh yes, because it's all only righties who work without pay in organizations for the poor, just the same as only conservatives are affected by taxes. And of course it's the right that are the only ones who do voluntary donations... :har:

Wow, living in a b/w world must be so much fun!

What is being attempted with the WWJD message is delusional at best.

Biblical Jesus: Give your money to the poor.

Socialist Jesus: Give your neighbor’s money to the poor.

This ain't rocket science.

You obviously didn't read the article. Aside from a passing mention of politics in the beginning of the piece, it had nothing to do with anything that you're railing on about. And neither did anything I said. I could have said "driven out demons" or "have a brother named James" and nothing would have changed. I literally named two things Jesus would (did) do.

Well, because this thread devolved into projecting politics onto Jesus, I think it deserves this song to be spammed over and over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-PX2Z4r-e4

A lot of the consternation that I see from the right on this matter is along the lines of "hey, that's our thing, get your own". I don't see why the left should not be given a chance to pervert Christianity. The right has been doing it for years.
