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

[thePyro_13]

And someone who peeps in on your whilst you're trying to commit homosexual acts is a pervert, therefore: God == Pervert.

And everyone who has ever changed a diaper is a pedophile. We really need to get nannies and parents away from the children. Why won't SOMEONE think of the CHILDREN?

If he tried to check every diaper of every child, then I'd be sus of him.

What are his policies?
Economic plans?
How about his plans for potential wars in the future?
Education policies?

I know the one written in the bible shows he is the son of god but I doubt he would have very good plans bar sunshine and love. Those don't work in a realistic way, people need incentives and want more, not love and caring everywhere they turn

Jesus is too mainstream, I prefer Lord Inglip, ALL HAIL INGLIP

 

[ultimateownage]

No, because I'm a British citizen. Though the American bible bashers would be giving everyone else a hell of a hard time.

What I was getting at was that it's silly to think someone is perverted for not liking that they see something.

It's like if you happened upon the Encyclopedia Dramatica page for "offended", and then you were accused of loving to see people torn limb from limb.

...Or do you just not understand the concept of omniscience? Ah, I guess we'll just chalk it up to that.

Only way is to kill their human controllers

This is a bit of a silly situation, but I'll give it a shot.

If humans are controlling the beasts, then there are obviously some form of transmissions taking place in order to to issue said commands. Unless we're talking about a direct neural interface involving a human that's obviously right there (which is unlikely), we'd be dealing with the possibility of jamming said communications. Further, if we're being forced into violence and Jesus has been in command for any period of time, it'd be logical to assume that research would have been conducted to perfect LTL weaponry. Unfortunately, without any other course of action available, rendering your enemies unable to fight would be the only possible solution.

 

[Scout Tactical]

Do you just not understand the concept of omnipotence.

If he didn't want to see, he wouldn't have to.

If you knew about omniscience, you'd know it has nothing to do with seeing. If you know your roommate is having sex, does that make you a pervert? According to him it does.


Honestly, I don't think you guys are stupid, you just don't really know the definitions of these words because they aren't commonly used in everyday discourse.

..I kind of take offense to your 'gays are bad' part of your Topic. The bible doesn't speak of anything against gays, within all the verses I know due to being a Christian myself reading the bible daily. But, I won't bash on you fellow Escapist because I know we're more mature and civil then that. Besides, it's your belief if you think we feel that gays are bad and I know most Christians are not ok with gays (sadly).

Um... I'm not sure what Bible you have been reading but the Christian Bible is actually quite clear on in it's stance on homosexuality.

* Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."1

* Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"

* 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

* Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."

[NASB]

Yes, he'd make an amazing president in my opinion due to how inspiring and amazing he was overall. I'd want him to run the country for as long as humanity lived. Just my opinion, but in truth making this Thread is risky because many aren't Christians (which I am fine with, I don't discriminate anyone) and may not like the idea of Jesus running the country.

Honestly, the fact that I don't want Jesus as president has nothing to do with the fact that I'm not Christian. It has to do with the fact that Jesus wasn't that great of a guy. He may have done some good thing and said some good things, but he also supported slavery and advocated killing disobedient children.

"Whoever curses father or mother shall die"
(Mark 7:10 NAB)

"Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;"
(Ephesians 6:5 NAB)

If you can, please change the 'gays are bad' part because we Christians aren't like the WBC (westboro baptist church) that puts down everyone and alters the word of God to be hateful. A simple request and I won't force you to, but just asking in favor please.

There is no reason for him to change it because it's perfectly accurate.

As for the WBC, I will simply repost something I said in another thread.

"...it bothers me when I hear Christians talking about groups like the WBC and saying "they aren't Christians" or " they aren't following what Jesus said" when in fact they are, it's just that they are following different parts of what Jesus and the Bible say than you are.

The difference is that Fred Phelps is an angry old bigot, so he naturally gravitates to those passages and messages, whereas most Christians are basically good people and therefore gravitate to the stuff about peace and love."

Also, i'm not perfect and know people wouldn't feel ok with Jesus running here so I hope this doesn't become a flame war or people putting down anyone's beliefs..

Well I hope you don't take this post as "putting down" your beliefs, but when discussing Jesus' character I feel it's important that people take into account the entire picture and not just what they teach in Sunday School (or even most Churches for that matter).

OT: In case my opinion isn't glaringly obvious from my response to Ryan, I say absolutely not. Jesus, as described in the Bible, is not what most Christians believe him to be.

 

[Khada]

I voted no but purely because I resent anything that perpetuates the continued refusal to utilise logic and critical thinking. If he actually existed then I have no doubt he would make a better president than any mortal man. That said, politicians are redundant and have no technical skills or knowledge for solving the worlds problems where as Jesus is the son of god made from god... so he would kinda have one up on them lol.

 

[Naheal]

How would you cut the guarded supply lines without weapons? How would you disarm the squads of deathtroopers? how the FUCK do you stop an ARMY without violence?

A diplomatic solution might be found... In a while, but for now their troops/dragons are in the streets killing women and children.

How about not being a complete strategic idiot? How about stopping the situation before it became a problem in the first place? How about cutting off travel routes?

I am a little curious as to why this situation even came up in the first place. Countries don't just randomly attack one another, they're usually after something and there's usually some form of a warning beforehand.

Also, Egypt.

Various actions such as spending much of his time in each city encouraging and offering hope to prostitutes, shepherds, and other "people of sin".

Wait... shepherds are sinful? What's so bad about watching a herd of sheep?

 

[Nieroshai]

I'm pretty sure that "gays are bad" wouldn't be in his speeches. Outside of that, I really don't think I can fill in fictional characters in a voting ballot.

Um, hypothetical? As if he existed and ran on the bballot himself?

 

[Nikolaz72]

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

Communism.

They are inside the dragons, fused together. Only way is to pry open the dragon and kill the human inside.

Sorry, im really bored. Next lecture in 30 min...

This is bordering on dumb, now.

You obviously haven't heard the jokes have you. Let's just say wool facilitates grip nicely or so I hear.
