God still loves them even if they are boorish, rude, crude, and hateful. They reject His love.

If Jesus were walking as a man among us now He would be dressed in Wal Mart clothes and look no different from everyone else. Jesus was not a sartorial anachronist in his own time and would not be now. His physical characteristics would be no more anomalous in this society than they were in first century Judea.He would not be a hippie. He might have a youthful background in body and fender work.

No, that’s the source of the information about Morford. That’s why it’s on a separate line. Sorry, I should have made that more clear.

It isn’t the guns that would turn Jesus off to America. It is the 55 million dead babies and glorification of rampant hedonism not just in the entertainment industry (seeking to make money off of sex) but also in our schools and civic functions and corporations. So ‘tolerant’ of slutty gay rights marches.

The abandonment of the religious tradition among the masses. The mocking of what many hold sacred.

A SF paper claiming to know about Jesus?

Next thing they’ll be printing science advice from Algore and Dorkbama the Muslim.

Oh, wait......

Jesus was pretty main stream for his time. He Joseph was a carpenter and well off for his time. Jesus was well educated and didn’t dress extreme for his time. If he were around now now he would probably use mass and social media to get his message across.

Those characteristics of our society are analogous to the characteristics of the society that he came into 2000 years ago.

Can you imagine San Francisco under sharia law? Christians may be easy targets for satire with their nativity scenes, Christmas trees, lights on the house, sentimental carols and such but they will pray for you if you are gay and hope you find the way rather than cut your head off or push you off of a building.

Yeah, cuz Jesus would be walking around with a diaper wrapped around his head telling us to either believe in Him or be tortured to death.

Specious moral equivalency argument. Theologically and rationally unsound.
