continue to do so

See how that works?

We need to knock them out of our government.

Let them petition the government but on a basis that is equal to any other person and not backed up by huge parties and big donations to campaigns.

Judging by the make up of the 12 apostles, it sure as hell wasn't a woman.

Considering how religious he was I think he would not be comfortable with Meretz.

"Meretz is a secular party emphasizing a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, social justice, human rights (especially for ethnic and sexual minorities), religious freedom, and environmentalism."

"Considering how religious he was" -- how religious was he? do we really know? i'd be interested in sources of discussion on this topic

As do I, but I still respect the man.

(laughing my Gospel off)

I'm an Atheist, but I certainly know enough about Jesus Christ in the Bible to know that Bernie would be the only one Jesus would likely vote for. Everybody else in the field has distorted his teachings to the point of taking a raging hateful shit on them.

and I am an ordained minister of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I have had words with His noodlyness, and He has told me to vote for Sanders, because he is a man of WE THE PEOPLE, not them, the corporations!
May you all be touched by His noodly appendages.
Arrgh and R'amen!

do you?

translations.

There are no contemporaneous accounts of Jesus saying whatever he is alleged to have said. There is no historical evidence that he actually lived because he is absent from the historical records of the Roman historians.

Cool!

Religion has been corrupted by power players and charlatans. It's been that way for a loooong time.

A figure like Jesus seemed to want to help everybody. For a 'Christian' nation we sure leave a lot of folks behind.

Edit: I don't see that changing under anybody, but our best shot seems to be Sanders.

... and I think that tweet is cool and very witty.

I'm not totally positive of that because Jesus doesn't talk to me, but I'm pretty sure!

Jewish socialist every December 25th!

..started this I think, saying "We celebration a Socialist Jew every Dec. 25th."

as well as to most of her "Family" members

One of the greatest people in my lifetime!

I'll selectively pander to him any time.

I am so tempted to explain why the Hilary supporters are acting so illogically, but I'm really getting tired yelling at a brick wall.

I've been exercising restraint with Hillary else I'd be on DU 24/7

The willful ignorance is as intense as the heat of the sun.

Thank you Dr. Tyson. Thank you. That is the best endorsement for either candidate this year.

And as someone pointed out to me the other day, not only was Bernie Sanders born Jewish, but he worked as a carpenter in his youth AND teaches the same kind of love and compassion that Jesus taught.

For Christians and anyone who admires and adopts Jesus' teachings as guidance in their life, Bernie is THE CANDIDATE TO VOTE FOR.

…nothing to do with Bernie being Jewish. He's just a true mensch.

"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's..."

And render unto god tbat which is his
Or respect go ernment b ut do it with a knowledge that they arent tbe same and your moral compass outweighs your civic compass

Loves me some NdT!

Well said.

We always held up signs as we marched around with our long hair and sandals... Jesus Was A Liberal!

he figured that there was no harm in coming out of the political closet.

I love that guy.

And Rex!

Love NGT, Love this!

The plankton, bees and songbirds. I'd say the chances are good he'd be for the one who wanted less hydrofracking and climate change denial.

But, I'm sure Ted Cruz or The Family might see it differently.

I've signed up to donate $25/month thru the convention.

Bernie did GREAT, far better than expected. I am so psyched now and the People WILL fund his campaign as he collects more and more supporters the more people get to know him.

They always campaign to the Left and then once elected, govern to the Right.

Love Tyson!!

My favorite astrophysicist plus he is a genius!

I'm not sure why my favorite actor is doing the voice of god ad for that other campaign?

the Secretary of Energy. When he is elected President.

... will never, ever come to pass."

Thanks for the thread, Svafa.

Jesus and Bernie have much in common.
They are both Jewish
They are both carpenters
They are both from humble beginnings
They both have a message of equality, love, and peace.
They both were not involved in the organized religions of their day.
They both want to change the world for the better and for all people to prosper.
