i thought he was the switch hitter from the cubs. man am i confused. jesus also made a lot of comments about doing your work earnestly and doing your best and helping the down trodden. btw, helping the downtrodden is really tough when the govt just f'ed up your company by taxing it into oblivion so they layed you off. dont remember him ever saying steal from some and give to others. but that might be in the curan. that and "kill all the white people". i think thats in the curan....or maybe that was eddie murphy...i confused myself again....

If Jesus was running the show right now.
Taxes would be 10%
They would also be on the Honor system.
Old Testament law would be in effect.
Old Testament law mandated "charity"
From farmers for instance who where implored to leave every seventh row for the poor.
(BTW, this was practiced to some extent in this country in my lifetime)
Old testament law had strong property rights and contract protection.

I do not see Jesus hireing whole agencies of armed goons to force complience with tax laws.
Or policing victemless crimes.
(he forgave the prostitute when it was clearly illegal under his own old testament law)

Jesus had a strong grasp of Natural Law or the Golden rule.
Jesus understood that the golden rule aplies to government and its officials.
He had a strong grasp of personal responsability for ones actions.

Jesus would be a very kind and charitable libertarian.
Certainly not an Ayn Rand type.
But his refusal to initiate violence,
his disdain for the actions of the Tax collecters,
would seem to indicate to me he is in fact a libertarian.

Jesus fought against, and was killed by, the centralized big government in Rome.

Jesus would never have been elected President. He was a Communist and would have destroyed America.

Anyone believe Jesus 2.0 is gonna kick the Royal Ass of everyone that believes in Devils more than Angels?

Atheists should be except from this,

even though this is a Religious thread, I believe.

I'm pretty sure Jesus wanted to convince people to give from the heart, not to give under threat of incarceration.

The statement about not judging was meant in a spiritual sense, not as an issue of jurisprudence.

"Render unto Cesar" is a statement about approaching affairs of Government and politics with a different mindset than one should approach spiritual issues.

If Jesus were alive today he would be sickened by the hubris he would see here - that is for sure.

I think most of you are missing the point.

Jesus never existed.

Man, you really are a dumb ass aren't you. Jesus certainly did exist. Whether or not he was the Messiah or son of God is a matter of religion but his existence is a fact. The historian Josephus wrote of him as did others. Historians all agree on this.

Damn, do they teach you kids anything in school these days?

Nope lol, never existed because there's no evidence.

Unless you want to count the bible..

But that's fake anyways.
