I have called myself a Christian, but I despise the disease that crawls among us and advertises itself by that name. I do not believe that Christianity is mainly about morality. I believe that plenty of people over the centuries have tried to portray it as such, but the "morality" of Jesus was something that most self-proclaimed moralists would decry as bleeding-heart liberalism today. Make no mistake about it: Jesus would be just as unpopular with most people who call themselves Good Christians™ today as he was among those who called themselves Good Jews™ back then. Dave
What would the Jesus do if he were alive today? Philip Jose Farmer brought him back in one of the Riverworld stories, and as I recall, he was not a happy camper. If Jesus was alive today he would be labeled a dirty commie, he was a teacher and a preacher, the same Son of God who threw the money changers out of the temple. He was about peace, love, brotherhood, and communal sharing. Not about invading other countries in the name of the Lord, Allah or any anthropomorphic deity...
