    You presume much while being totally clueless. My guess is that He would cut his hair and shave his face. You'd probably prefer Him to look like a hippie. You don't know His mind - stop acting like you do.

    Probably so does watching the hubris of people who think they know what Jesus would have done enough to preach to other people about it.

    Jesus paid his taxes. "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's". Another reason Jesus couldn't become POTUS....he'd never collect money for war, only for welfare, Social Security, and healthcare.

    Peter denied Jesus three times on the day he was crucified.

    Funny how poorly you understand the teachings of Jesus.

    again, when did Jesus prescribe actions for government and not individuals? Since he only did prescribe actions for individuals, not for government, and assuming you're willing to accept this (doubtful), how do you, gophangover, decide which things he prescribed for individuals gets pushed into government action? Didn't Jesus speak out against divorce?

    Jesus would have been a democrat today. He'd have been horrified for what passes as a christian nowadays, especially the evangelical right wingers. What a disgrace.

    Cons promote war, promote greed, promote cruelty to the elderly, the poor, and children....and you try to convince others that I don't understand Jesus. Pitiful.

    The first thing Jesus would do is speak to Chris Christie about refusing war orphans at Christmas.

    Your own words convince them of that better than I ever could.

    Divorce? Like Trump? Or like Gingrich? Or like Reagan? Jesus knows that Satan runs the government. He knows that government is the beast that enslaves the whole world.

    Far less so than you admit to your ignorance of the teachings of Jesus.

    How fairy-tale creatures affect this world is of no concern. The Rabbi Yeshua's writers were defeatists who'd given up this planet for some imaginative happily-ever-after, and should be treated as such. People need to round-file their superstitions, rip the sleeves off, and get about the business of getting to other planets to consume THOSE resources before we run out HERE.

    Human civilization on other planets will never happen. This is the fairy tale. Who is the most popular person in human history? Jesus.

    Your denial is a psychological defense mechanism, unwilling to adhere to the truth, because it bothers you.

    He'd be in tears learning how many babies Democrats have murdered. The party of abortion, racism, greed, envy and sloth. All characteristics of Hillary Clinton. The majority of you progressives don't believe He ever existed so why pretend to claim He'd be on your side? He's going to make sure the whore of Wall Street never becomes president.

    What are you talking about? Have you ever read His words in the Gospel? He was clear:

    John 18:36

    We'll send our regards.....from Mars.

    Popularity has nothing to do with anything (and Mohammed might have the Rabbi Yeshua beat, numbers-wise); time, money, and desire got us here, and will continue to do so. My only hope is that we don't miss this open window before stumbling back into another agrarian Dark Age.
