Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean says evangelical Christians ought to vote Democratic because Jesus would have.
While admitting that Jesus might have had problems with Democrats pro-choice stand on abortion, I dont think he wouldve been a one-issue voter, Dean speculated. His demographic profilepoor, unemployed, unmarriedlooks like a Democrat.
"I haven't read a single word about Jesus criticizing gay marriage in the Bible," Dean said in an address at a Democratic fundraiser at a Reno, Nevada casino. In fact, Jesus himself may have been gay. He spent most of his time hanging out with men. The women in his life were all just friends. Its a classic gay lifestyle.
"Then there are the fiscal issues, Dean went on. Jesus said of money render unto Caesar what is Caesars. This pretty clearly said that all the money belonged to the government. This is a core value of the Democratic Party today.
Take foreign policy, Dean continued. Didnt Jesus say turn the other cheek? We Democrats have been trying to get George Bush to turn the other cheek for the last four years. Isnt the Republican insistence on meeting violence with violence profoundly unchristian?
Dean closed by suggesting that there might be some wiggle room on the abortion issue. In Jesus time we didnt have the technology we have today, Dean said. If Jesus had known that stem cells could help provide relief for sufferers of Parkinsons disease or that ultrasounds could detect birth defects, maybe hed have seen the need for a more open mind on this issue.
In related news, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed that embryonic stem cell research is a "gift from God. That is why taxpayers must fund it. To do less would be the height of ingratitude.

Wow.
Okay, here's Jesus in his pro-heterosexual marriage speech:
Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Ummmmmmm, where's the speech that Jesus made promoting some other kind of marriage?
(Which is why the Democrats are pro illegal immigration.)
You almost got me again, John. Great article

In fact, Jesus himself may have been gay. He spent most of his time hanging out with men. The women in his life were all just friends. Its a classic gay lifestyle.
Please, please, don’t leave your job.
Jesus was unemployed? He was a carpenter, then went into the ministry full time.
His ministry had enough money to have its own treasurer.
“His demographic profile—poor, unemployed, unmarried—looks like a Democrat.”
Which is exactly what the Democrat party wants people to stay. Based on their own demographic sterotypes, they won't do anything to help people move out of being poor, because then they would lose power.
"I haven't read a single word about Jesus criticizing gay marriage in the Bible,...In fact, Jesus himself may have been gay. He spent most of his time hanging out with men. The women in his life were all ‘just friends.’ It’s a classic gay lifestyle.”
He wouldn't need to talk about 'gay marriage' because he lived in an era and area where homosexuality was illegal, I doubt the 'marriage' debate ever came up. Also, during this time, marriages were pre-arranged. People didn't exactly have a choice who they married. As for 'Jesus' being a bachelor w/ only Women friends. Technically, the Bible doesn't say Jesus was a bachelor. It lives whether he was single or not as a non-addressed issue.
"Then there are the fiscal issues,” Dean went on. “Jesus said of money ‘render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.’ This pretty clearly said that all the money belonged to the government. This is a core value of the Democratic Party today.”
I think we should repeat in bold something Dean said and repeat it in every campaign commercial: all the money belonged to the government. This is a core value of the Democratic Party today... yes, the head of the Democrat party admits this..
“Take foreign policy,” Dean continued. “Didn’t Jesus say ‘turn the other cheek?’
He also instructed his disciples to carry a sword.
Dean closed by suggesting that there might be some “wiggle room” on the abortion issue. “In Jesus’ time we didn’t have the technology we have today,” Dean said. “If Jesus had known that stem cells could help provide relief for sufferers of Parkinson’s disease or that ultrasounds could detect birth defects, maybe he’d have seen the need for a more open mind on this issue.”
Yea, for Assenic Jews, open mindedness was one of their strongest traits..
Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment (Mt 12:36).
Can’t all be home runs.
Try Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13.
Jesus is a Monarchist, He’s the King.
Actually, the correct word is 'craftsmen', it is an English mistranslation to label him a carpenter. The interesting thing is this same 'craftsmen' term was used in the Book of Maccabees to describe the priests chosen to rebuild the temple (after all, those of the non-priestly line couldn't enter the temple, even to rebuild it.) Considering Jesus was of this line, and the same 'craftsmen' term was used, it could not only mean that Jesus wasn't just a 'simple carpenter' but a very important priestly craftsmen.
LOL...I’m sure they’ve mulled over using those arguments. Good one
Dean shows right here...what a ignorant moron he really is.
ROFLOL!!!!
I thought this must be from Scrappleface but no.... The man is truly an idiot.
I guess we’re worshiping the wrong Jesus if Dean is correct. (barf)
to zot:
I guess were worshiping the wrong Jesus if Dean is correct. (barf)
