The people that appear to read this mainly do so without leaving any comments. With this post, I'd like people to reply.
If Jesus were around right now, which party affiliation would he choose? Let's limit it to D and R. I, of course, have any answer which isn't surprisingly "D." But I'd like to hear from others that think Jesus would side with Republicans the majority of the time. Is there anything scripturally that makes you believe one way or another? Does scripture and Jesus even enter your mind when making political decisions?
Hopefully blogspot let's you post replies without registering. But I'm honestly interested in hearing opinions from people I might not agree with.
Obviously, those who aren't Christian could probably care less. And I'm fine with that.
I do not think that Jesus would be a R, and I definitely do not have scriptural backing to say that is where he will "camp'. So, I will remain quiet, make the first comment and see what others say.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Jesus would take the time to vote. Too busy performing miracles and such. He might send disciples to vote, in which case they would all simply vote for Jesus as a write in candidate; however the media would then portray Him as a insane cult leader and the military would then be instructed to take him out.
ReplyDeleteGuess Ken didn't see the part about "if you aren't Christian you probably could care less."
ReplyDelete"Couldn't care less" is the appropriate saying btw.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, a little logic answers this questions easily. Jesus is a carpenter by trade, so he would be a member of the UBC, and therefore most likely be a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I'm writing from across the pond I'll skip the direct d or r question. I come at this from somewhere to the left of Lenin though, so you know I'm biased. I'm certainly biased where UK politics are concerned. As I'm a member of the Green Party, that gives away my affiliations. I've posted a piece just last week, which could be the British equivalent of your post. Have a look a this and see what you think: http://radref.blogspot.com/2011/07/do-tories-make-bad-christians.html
ReplyDeleteGood read! Thanks for sharing. I need to get more exposure to non-American POV. Such as knowing that the Daily Mail is the British equivalent to Fox news. :)
