Would American Christians vote for Jesus?

[garebear]

Serious question.

He would want to help the poor.

He would be anti-war.

He would favor universal healthcare.

What do you think?

[dario73]

Jesus would never vote for Obama.

Not the question. Start your own thread, please.

[headhuntersix]

I'm not sure Jesus was for universal healthcare...he understood the concept of taxes, and what they're for....I'm sure Jesus would be smart enough to realize that Obama is a piece of shit Lib douchbag and run his campaign accordingly.

BTW, it's about voting. That means it's political.

And outside of universal health care you think conservatives are against those things?



Not wanting the govt to tell you what's right and what's wrong doesn't mean you don't believe in helping the poor.

Conservatives give more time and money to the poor then liberals do they just don't want to do it through taxes brainchild

What about (AT LEAST) drastically decreasing the military?

I don't really see that as an issue, do you believe Jesus would sit back and let innocent ppl get slaughtered?

One could make the case that a strong military could help prevent that.

Interesting point, but I would have to disagree.

Jesus wouldn't believe in some brand of American exceptionalism, he would be in favor of the LEAST amount of people dying.

Since America has killed far more than Americans that have been killed (post-WWII), I can't see how your argument is valid.

Really, he believed in Christian exceptionalism
Re-read that last sentence and rephrase it, that doesn't seem to make sense to me

Jesus would never support "helping the poor" by taxing, soaking, stealing and redistributing from everyone else. He certainly wouldn't abide by the lower class being poor as an "occupation" or way of life for generation after generation. God helps those who help themselves. Jesus would support the free market. The best way to "help" poor people is to create private sector jobs and prevent leeches from gaming the system. The entire concept of poor between now and when Jesus lived is laughable. "Poor" people in the United States would be Kings in Jesus' day.

Jesus would never support "Universal Healthcare" which amounts to a tax increase on everyone who can afford to purchase health insurance-- whether they want it or not+ death panels comprised of bureaucratic bean counters who make trivial decisions on who lives or dies based on the cost.

As far as being anti war-- What does that mean exactly? Do you think Jesus would support never ever going to war?

Better question is:

Would the O.P. vote for Jesus knowing his stand on marriage, abortion and that his government would be a theocracy?

Or targeted drone strikes without judicial oversight by picking names out of a deck of cards? 



LOL!!!!!!   Try to get an obama cult member to explain that one.

Ah, now that's a good and fair question. Seriously.

I would need proof that there's an actual god, and that he's the son of said deity.

Then I would have to.

However, the evidence is lacking at this time. Just as it's lacking for Mohammed, Zeus, etc.  

So, I can not base any decisions on something that's just in a book, or, failing that, something that gets approval to all like-minded people around me.

Until I'm dead, I reserve the right to think for myself.

Yes, Jesus would definitely be against that.

Try to stay on topic.

That's not the point of the thread and you know it.

[whork]

Jesus wouldnt get a single vote

They claim to be Christians but they are so far from it as you can be

They are closer to the devil than they are to Jesus

Dont help other people, let the poor starve and deny them healthcare and make war. Very christian

In all fairness, I think he would ge about 1-2 percent.

Those people would be called traitor libtards, of course, but there would be a million or so.

Some Christians are for real. This is the nation that produced MLK, after all.

[headhuntersix]

Whork has to be a gimmick....nobody is this retarded.

Actually, that's exactly my point.

They SAY they believe in the tenants of the Christian faith, but they don't practice them in any real sense.

Thanks for the help.

Ah, Jesus existed. Even Jews recognize it as such. The question that divides Jews and Christians is whether he was God or not.

Having said that, he did exist.

And as a teacher he had disciples. Those disciples repeated in the New Testament his teachings.

So based on what we know of his teachings, would you vote for him? I am not asking whether you believe in God or not.

I am asking, based on the teachings of Jesus and his apostles would you vote for him? Or anyone who held exactly the same views of Jesus regarding morality?
