On the Colbert Report tonight I learned that (loose quote): "Telling people what Jesus said is small government; doing what Jesus said is big government." I know it's a comedic fake news program, but I found a lot of truth in that. No matter what the Religious Right-eous have to say (and they have a lot to tell us about how they think we should all live), I don't believe Jesus was a republican...
Dare I say it? Okay, I'll hazard it: my guess is that Jesus was a socialist or even, gasp, a communist! Egads! Think about it, though. Redistribution of wealth, giving everything to the poor, spending time with those who were marginalized in his society, healing the sick without asking for payment. I wish those on the radical right would care about these things instead of who one should be allowed to marry and what one should do with one's body.
On a side note, Jesus' General has some similar and more biting things to say in his blog.
