Extra Jesus Dot Com » Jesus in Politics http://extrajesus.com A collection of all things Jesus Thu, 11 Feb 2010 09:19:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 The ACLU hates Jesus http://extrajesus.com/2006/04/17/the-aclu-hates-jesus/ http://extrajesus.com/2006/04/17/the-aclu-hates-jesus/#comments Tue, 18 Apr 2006 05:36:59 +0000 Drew http://extrajesus.com/2006/04/17/the-aclu-hates-jesus/ While I appreciate the ACLU and think they are VERY necessary I think they can go too far sometimes. Here we have someone that was informed that praying was okay, but not in the name of Jesus because it is probably offending someone. Listen, praying of any sort at a public meeting with government officials shouldn’t happen, it’s called the separation of Church and State. Instead of coming down on the guy for praying in Jesus’ name they should be focusing their resources on more life-and-death matters, or protesting prayer at public meetings. I am appalled at the lack of separation of Church and State in our government and I don’t believe that Christian extremists should be running things, it is against our Constitution and nobody seems to care.

I don’t watch "Good Morning America" so I can’t confirm that he actually did that. The author of this article goes on to compare Tom to Tony Soprano, which seems more fitting. Weird, there seems to be a sort of politician-thinks-he-is-Jesus thing going around.

He is critical of the current administration and says that we should hold accountable those that have lied about going to a war, illegal wiretaps, etc. While the term “Christian values” doesn’t mean very much to me I definitely agree with Don, read his article here.

He makes a good argument about how the death penalty in the bible comes from the Old Testament and if we are to follow that than we should stone ourselves as well. He also mentions how Love is the Fullfillment of the Law and if that is true than the death penalty certainly does not show love, or forgiveness for that matter. Read the letter over at Jamaica Gleaner News.

In the letter he says, “If you’re a politician who represents Minnesotans, your job is not to try to forbid legal behavior that makes you uncomfortable or to pad your resume with paranoid edicts, but to help anyone among us who is sick, or old, or poor. That’s what Jesus would do.” Read the entire contents of the letter at In-Forum.

Pretty balsy to say you’re the Jesus of anything, don’t ya think?

Of course, we already knew that Jesus would be a criminal in today’s world…he’s brown (unlike the pictures of him in America that show him as white with blue eyes), he travels in a gang (different states have different laws for what counts as a gang but thirteen guys walking down the street is a gang no matter what state you live in), and he has a beard. Boom, instant terrorist.

I like that plan. It puts a tremendous burden on Jesus while freeing up everyone else to pursue their own thing. Sweet deal.
