    "Very trivial". That was rather the norm between 300 and 1800. From the slaughters of pagan to the murder of Jan Huss, the list is long. How many gay people were burned alive for being gay ?

    Jesus was a liberal.
    Long hair, sandals, stereotypical in appearance.
    Talked about equality, giving to the poor, "a rich man is as likely to enter the kingdom of Heaven as a camel is to pass thru the eye of a needle."
    VERY UN-GOP, the party of, and for, the rich.
    What does "created the individual" even mean??

    Are you an anarchist? If so, Somalia would seem nice - no government at all. Just private enterprises. Utopia.

    Personally I think communist Germany, where the Bomb really originated from, stole it from Jesus, somewhere in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, as you wrote, the Fouding Fathers saw this and thus decided to exclude liberals, thus creating the individual.

    You were right all along - you just got it backwards.

    Young people, they have no respect for their heritage nowadays.

    Yep - these guys wake up every morning, eager to make the world a better place. Exploitation and profits are far, far down their list of values. They're just good for good's sake !!! All of this thanks to Jesus and the Founding Fathers (who are pretty much one and the same).

    Because you think that that is not exactly what Trump is trying to do?
    He even want to change the elements in the Constitutions that prevent him from being a total dictator!

    What ever Roman or Roman controlled ancestry I have is of really of no genetic significance.

    Christ of course was a conservative. He was also a capitalist that encouraged people to invest their money and be rewarded based on their efforts.

    One cannot love the immoral ideals and laws of liberalism and socialism and still be a Christian. They will either love one and despise the other.

    Seems you have hippie and liberal confused. No host on MSNBC has long hair and sandals, for example.
    Did you fall asleep back in the 1960's

    And let's not forget that Private Property is only a thing for a small percentage of humanity. The richest of us.

    Was Republican Jesus only interested in the Rich Folk? Nice guy. So much for standing up for the least of us.

    I prefer to think Jesus was a Socialist.

    it is well documented in several books that conservatives give more to the poor than liberals. You have learned this 12 times now

    True, of course. But he'd also have hated today's Progressives. For obvious reasons.

    that is because then the rich got that way by stealing through govt. Today the rich are saintly Republicans who get rich by creating the jobs and products we needed for our survival and increasing standard of living. Making sense now?

    several books on subject you might enjoy unless you prefer continuing illiteracy. Before Jesus men we treated like sheep or slaves by liberal govt. Jesus recognized the individual and instructed him about his personal relationship with God, that he was loved by God ( a revolutionary concept), and how he should behave to enter the kingdom of God. This was a revolution that led directly to the American founding.

    He didn't fight for those righteous things by condoning that Government officials take care of them. He was for private charity, and not Government.

    That's not a socialist. A Socialist without the power of Government is totally lost.

    PS: The Pharisees, btw, were not analogous to Republicans. They were analogous to politicians.

    To Government.

    how could it be the norm when Jesus was about love and leading enlightenment thinkers like Jefferson agreed that Jesus had created the mentality of love that had become the basis of the human heart and Western civilization. Yes Christians killed people like John Hus who opposed them to establish love and Christianity but so what?
    We kill murderers to prevent murder not because we are murderers. Do you understand?
