Poll: If Jesus ran for president, would you vote for him?

[BlastedTheWorm]

If Jesus were running for president? Who the hell would be his oppositon, Godzilla?

 

[2xDouble]

I would certainly vote for him. Sadly, he was born in Israel and therefore ineligible.

 

[StormShaun]

Yes

but I dought he'd want to...

 

[RanD00M]

A man that has no idea how modern culture and politics work comes around, and just because he was a messiah you want me to vote for him? Fuck that noise politics party that supports him, fuck that noise.

 

[Phlakes]

He hasn't exactly been around to see what's going on. I don't want to be ruled under traditions from 2000 years ago.

 

[RanD00M]

If Jesus were running for president? Who the hell would be his oppositon, Godzilla?

I know who I would vote for.

GODZILLA FOR PRESIDENT OF EARTH!

 

[googleback]

he'd be assassinated by an american who said he was an imposter within weeks

 

[Kyoufuu]

who was a good enough speaker that roughly 1/3 of people worship him 2000 years after his death.

There is no chance any candidate would be able to compete with that.

90% of those people are poverty stricken and illiterate. So I doubt they'd be voting at all.

You miss my point. Do you think 1/3 of the population will be worshipping any of the American presidents 2000 years after they (the American presidents, not 1/3 of the population) die? And even then, American presidents live much more hotshot, for want of a better word, lives. Jesus was the son of a carpenter who went around preaching in Israel, allegedly doing miracles, and was executed in the most painful and humiliating method possible, beside two common thieves.

He came from nothing, he went to nothing, and 2,000,000 people still worship him. His teachings were that damn good.

 

[e2density]

Well I can't vote for something that doesn't exist >.<

 

[Darkauthor81]

Yes.

By the way, Jesus never said gays are bad. Ever. Once. And he often implied that he has an opposite view on them.

Thank you. You're right. He never says that once. In fact I'm certain that the conservative base would hate Jesus very much if he were around.

 

[Tanner The Monotone]

I don't know. What's his economic plan like?

He makes things better by getting money from his dad.

 

[Kyoufuu]

Someone in the bible said 'if a man lays with a man both shall be put to death' ... pretty sure it was that Jesus guy. May have been someone else, but same book.

Not the same book. The Bible isn't a book. It's a collection of many different books. It would be more accurate to call it a library.

 

[Gigano]

think of the diplomatic power he would wield, revered as a prophet in the middle east, he could probably end those conflicts.

Or they'd just crucify him one more time when he didn't say what the various groups wanted to hear. And Judaism view him as an imposter anyway.

Not even a god could sort out that mess by now.

 

[theevilsanta]

Jesus or Ford? Jesus
Jesus or Reagan? Jesus
Jesus or Bush senior? Jesus
Jesus or Clinton? Jesus
Jesus or Bush Junior? Jesus
Jesus or Obama? Jesus

It's pretty obvious.

Jesus or G. Washington? That's tougher.

 

[Queen Michael]

No, just so I could have a bumper sticker saying "What Would The Other Guy Do?".

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Yes.

By the way, Jesus never said gays are bad. Ever. Once. And he often implied that he has an opposite view on them.

That actually can be said about a bunch of things. Most of the "the bible says..." stuff I hear the bible says nothing about, it is just "interpreted" that way so the people arguing can be right.

OT: No. This country has freedom of religion, and the psycho-Christians[footnote]Not saying all Christians are like that, I just live in the bible belt and here, well, they are...[/footnote] already think they own it, and this would do nothing but get more hate for the non-Christians. I could see it ending up a lot like Oasis in Fallout 3. How Harold would tell them something, then they would think he was speaking in metaphors or whatever, and then interpret what he is saying completely different.

 

[Xanadu84]

Worried about the seperation of Church and state?

"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar?s, and unto God the things that are God?s

Jesus was the first advocate for the separation of Church and State. Id vote for him. Take away the Old Testament, and a lot of the New Testament that doesn't deal with Jesus directly, and you have a pretty awesome dude. Considering the fact that we are all products of our times, Jesus is REMARKABLY progressive, and more rationally compassionate that most people today.

 

[MasterChief892039]

I think if Jesus was president, he'd probably piss off a lot of republicans.

Is OP attempting to just poll the American population? 'Caz not everyone here's from the States.
