Jesus was a first-century Palestinian Jew. He was most likely an apocalypticist preacher.

Not a ... commie ...

Yes, Jesus was a black Chinese transsexual with homosexual tendencies but who got married to Mary Magdalene and had kids with her.

And he was a communist and a feminist to boot. 8O

As a Conservative, I don't particularly care if liberals want to make a fool of themselves and demonstrate their lack of respect for the majority of the American People, that's their business.

Just don't come crying when Christians have no respect for them.

Jesus was American. You are absolutely right! :P

Respect is earned, btw

I'm not a liberal or conservative, but would you care to explain how liberals disrespect the American People?

Hmmm...didn't like moneylenders. Didn't like religious patriarchs. Handed out free food. Healed people and didn't ask for payment. Didn't like the Roman government. Lived in a communal house with 12 other dudes. Didn't charge money for his performances. Worked a low class proletarian craft job as a carpenter. Sounds pretty communist so far, especially the communal living and meals bit.

I know a bunch Christian communists. They rule.

If I were a Christian I would rather my messiah be a commie than a conservative.
I agree with most of the ideas of communism.
If Jesus were real he probably would be a commie since he cares about equality.

I am not a liberal either but conservatives are destroying the world much worse than liberals.

I think Micheal Moore has made some very good films.
"Capitalism ,a love story" is one of my favorite documentaries of all time.
