Jesus was a far-left, peace loving hippie
 

After the seeing Passion of The Christ today I have been pondering America's love affair with Jesus Christ and I'm more than a little confused.

Jesus kept saying things like "Love your enemy" and "Turn the other cheek" and I couldn't help thinking to myself that if this bloke was a U.S. citizen right now he would be considered a left-wing, peace loving scumbag. I'm certain that George Bush would have labelled him a terrorist and anti-American.

Jesus was the original hippie. As I watched the movie today I kept imagining him standing on a street corner with a bandana on his head trying to sell socialist newspapers. Or demonstrating in an anti-war rally bearing a placard reading "All You Need Is Love".

So why does America love Jesus so much? He certainly doesn't embody any contemporary American values.

Any ideas?

Hehehe.

Why are you such a prick?

I hated you when you were Joe Sixpack and I still do.

Why are you so obsessed with your repugnance of the U.S.?

Jesus said to love your enemy!

Where's the love for me?

tsk, tsk... What would Jesus think?!

Your a spawn of Satan so you don't count :1orglaugh

Damn, you got me before my edit.

That was quick!

:1orglaugh

:)

Excellent post. :thumbsup

I've never understood it either.

Hypocricy if you ask me.

Jesus loves us all :)

hehe that sounds about right

No shit sherlock.

Why is he a prick?

He is just asking a question.....

true...good thing jesus around back then instead of now...the conservatives would've hated him...he woulda been called a 'treehugger'.

The Bible can be interpreted in many ways, which is a great tool for people to justify their actions.

just was the movie and I loved IT

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians
are so unlike your Christ.

Agreed, great post.

agreed

LOL dear God...I figured this shit out like in 9th grade when I gave my dad the..."Jesus was a liberal asshole" speech.

You guys need to get $50 head on over to wheel of fortune and buy a clue.

Matthew 15

Yep jesus was a dirty hippie.

I have no clue why people fail to see this in today's world.

If there is a "spirit of jesus" floating around out there, he is laughing his fucking ass off for sure.

fuckin prick :1orglaugh

:rainfro

It wasn't the question, I'm just expressing how I feel.

It's different actually - these 'hippies' molded themselves to the 'Jesus' image

This is the question I wanted to hear peoples opinion on.

You have to realize that most religious right get their morals from the old testament...

Fundamentalists are idiots?
