Extra Jesus Dot Com

Gary Gardiner, a Christian Reverend, has written a letter expressing his belief that the dealth penalty is not the Christian way as Jesus intended. 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.

Alan Davis has written a letter scolding the government for introducing legislation that would ban gay marriage. 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.

The best part of the article is “Hospital superiors felt that a patient may get the wrong idea if they are told ‘Jesus will be coming soon.’” More here.

Here’s my problem with this story…chances are that since he’s working in a hospital his name is Jesus (pronounced Hey Soos) which sounds nothing like how it is pronounced when discussing Jesus of the Bible (Gee Zus). So is the short article a come on? I have no idea.

This guy is crying because Jesus isn’t allowed in school but liberal teaching is. Yeah, why bother separating Church and State? Let’s force everyone to believe in One God, that’ll clear things up. Just look at the Middle East…

Middle East Online is reporting that the Al-Azhar, the highest authority in Sunni Islam, is rejecting a movie being filmed in Egypt that depicts the life of Jesus. The producer of the film believes that they have no right to interfere with the film.

I think that’s what the author of this article is saying…he says that even though he still finds himself attracted to men that Jesus helps him “shoulder the burden.” Uh-huh.

I’m not really sure why, but some group in Bogota is going to remove a picture of Jesus from a holy shrine and put him at the head of an abortion march. You can read more here.
