IDB--hi.

Drom what I know of Jesus'  rabblerousingand probable teachings I think he would fight for the poor and downtrodden and disadvantaged and those without any healthcare etc.

IE--I don't see Jesus the teacher/rabbi as an RTPER.

1. WOULD JESUS FIGHT FOR TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH?

4. WOULD JESUS SPEW HATE AT OR EMBRACE NON-CHRISTIANS AND SODOMITES   WITH COMPASSION?


5. WOULD JESUS SUPPORT ENHANCED INTERROGATION OF ENEMIES?           

I have never considered myself a right wing person so if you are looking for one of those - can't help you.

1.  Tax cuts for the rich, no I don't think he would fight for them, but then I don't think he would fight To over tax the rich.  Or assume that the state should make the rich pay for others.    See more #2

2.  Hmmmm, I don't think he would tax the middle class to pay for those that can but don't cover thier own living expenses.

Jesus was more of an individual revolutionary - you take care of the less fortunate.  Whatever less fortunate might cross your path.  You don't force communism or socialism or a huge nanny state on the rest of society.  You don't annonymously and without thinking just support people via tax dollars.  You get in there and personally support those who need it.

3. Cheer him on?  No but I don't see where Jesus was opposed to the death penalty either.  I think he was a do the crime do the time person.  I think it is  disingenuous to paint Jesus as some sort of warrior against the death penalty. 

Would he personaly put people to death?  No, I can't see that.  There are alot worse things than death, IMO and probably in Jesus's oppinion too. 

4. Spew Hate?  No.  But he did chastise people for what he saw as sexual sins. He did say "go and sin no more"   I don't believe he would have been a "Gays are alright" person.  He was from a different time and place.  Jesus of two thousand years ago would be different from a walking talking modern Jesus today.

 5.   I don't think Jesus was in charge of larger public safety. Enhanced Interrorgation can mean many things.  Some I could support and some probably not.  I think you mean torture.  No, I don't see him getting involved in that.  But I don't see him damning the law for doing what they could to prevent a terrorist attack.  He was a pragmatic person.  He was not seemingly overgiven to dogmatic righteousness.  He might have considered refusing to do what you can to protect people because you might make a would be terrorist uncomfortable as the worst sort of sanctimony.  I don't think Jesus would have had a tremendous amount of patients for terrorists.

Howdy

yo

Whichever Jesus you want to pick. 

No I am not trying to revive WWJD. 

What I am trying to do is to get answers to the questions I asked. 

What I am trying to do is find out if Jesus would be a mainstream Republican or Democrat.
