Jesus Would Not Be A Right-Wing Republican
A liberal on the other... yes, that's it!

Those that hate Liberals show themselves. It is revealing how those on the right exude with their egomania and fear. So much fear in these people. They claim the world will end or that they are unpatriotic, yet they themselves appreciate the rights they have because of American Liberal Ideals and Civil Rights.

Liberals are just people fighting for their rights and everyone else's. We understand that if their neighbor is happy then they themselves are that much happier. It's seen as a selfless act in sacrifice for their kids and others after them. It's nauseous however, to see the illegitimating of Liberals and the word "liberal" itself by the Right. The Right have been at it for 30 years.

They call us hippies, druggies, homos, queers, dikes, and any other term defined to them as enemy. So extreme and reactive like a child. So angry and hostile like a rat in a corner. And when from a safe distance do they pride themselves in dehumanizing another human being. Just because they are different.

My response is this: Try loving yourself once in a while and listen to your liberal counterpart. He or she has something very important to tell you.... yes the guy that went to college and lived in the same family environment that you did. You can trust him because you know him.... but who is that guy?

Now, a final word: You have been lied to... and now we are asking you to help us fight back!

1. Modern Christianity is a false religion.
It has strayed so far from the path that Jesus allegedly travelled on that its ridiculous.
Jesus didnt preach aiding the rich, trampling the poor, starting wars and killing in his name, and hating all others not like him.
Nuff said.

2. Maybe it's time for Jesus
to come back and throw out the money changers once again.

4. Jesus would weep,
He would cry if he could see what has been done in his name since
he departed. He would shake his head in disgust if he saw the Vatican and what goes on there. He would cry if he saw what people do to make money using his name. He would weep if if saw what politicians do using his name.

Most people who claim to worship Jesus have no clue as to what Jesus was about.

The real Jesus.


The Real Jesus

Shocking as it may be to most Christians, Jesus wasn't the founder of Christianity, and the Apostle Paul was. And to make matters worse, most Christian doctrines such as claims of divinity, Original Sin, and the Trinity rely not only on Paul but also heavily on John, a Greek. Jesus was a Jew and taught Judaism. The books that reflect those teachings are the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and I have to include James. See Historical Jesus and The Real Jesus.

5. Even the Synoptics are debatable
Edited on Sun Jun-20-04 02:55 AM by DoctorWeird
Most of what is on that link is pretty basic first level college theology stuff. Except for the "What I think part." in that the divinity of Jesus is consistant throughout the Gospels as well as mentioned by Josephus. Josephus predates Paul, so it cannot be that Paul just invented the divinity claim.

6. Almost everything is debatable.
He would cry if he could see many things that have been done in his name since he departed. He would shake his head in disgust if he saw the Vatican and what goes on there. He would cry if he saw what people do to make money using his name. He would weep if if saw what politicians do using his name.

Maybe a debate about the above statements would be relavent?
