Would Jesus Support The War On Terror?

"You're either with us or you support the terrorists," President Bush has proclaimed so I began to wonder if Jesus would be a trouble maker in Mr. Bush's eyes. The kind of person who would violate the Patriot Act or the Military Commissions Act and therefore be called a terrorist.

As President Bush continuously demands more money to fight his wars to potentially kill thousands or even millions more people, I wondered if Jesus wouldn't instead use peaceful means to achieve peace among the waring parties.

As I looked at the U.S. Government budget and saw more than 1/3 of it devoted to war, including the development of new weapons of mass destruction, I wondered if Jesus would concur. Or might he oppose it and encourage the money be spent helping people in need?

Jesus in his time confronted the Roman Empire but today he would be confronting something far more powerful, the American Empire and the Bush Administration, that uses state of the art military technology and a huge nuclear arsenal to threaten the world and to try to seize its resources.

Then Jesus' words appeared again: "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul."

Yet as I thought about it I realized unless Jesus performed some miracles we could all witness he wouldn't be recognized as Jesus and would have just his ideas, and those ideas are out of fashion.

Crucifixion is not allowed (yet) in the US.
