Who would Jesus kill?

It's a forum. You can say anything you want. I'm interested philosophically in how you think and your argument.

Alrighty then.

To me, the question has little relevance....even hypothetically. The life of Jesus, and many other historical figures, is largely a matter of conjecture and embellishment. Don't get me wrong, I believe Jesus walked this planet and was very influential. Beyond that the stories of his life have no more meaning or credibility to me than any other children's fairy tale.

You may as well ask me "what would Cinderella do?".

The fundamental starting point of Christian moral thought is the question "What would Jesus do?"

Given that if not Jesus at least his followers whom asked that basic question have been among if not the most powerful forces of history in the West, North Africa, Near East, and Indochina, isn't it trite to compare that question to "What would Cinderella do?"

Yes, I may have trivialized the argument a tad bit.

On the other hand, the teachings of Jesus have been distorted, abused, misinterpreted, misapplied, and downright co-opted since the infancy of Christianity. My trivialization doesn't strike me as so great a sin in the grand scheme of things.

hello phlyboy.
hmmm...would Jesus kill? I bet lots of us get on his last neerrvve. Jesus this, Jesus that. He might think that's a really stupid question too. btw, who would budda kill?
If it wasn't illegal, there is a few people I'd shoot?

Fair enough. The precept of what would Jesus do is murky at best from a historical perspective and has been abused by many.

As far as sins I think it's about as minor as you get, however it is fairly poor as critical thinking.

I was stating an opinion, relevant only to my perspective. It wasn't intended to be a Doctoral dissertation.

Do you make it a point to judge "critical thinking" on internet message boards?

Yup

Someone must fulfill that function, I expect.

So far, so good. Carry on.

I'd like to think my Savior would round up those that have forsaken right in the pursuit of greed, and provide a divine equivalent of a WWE Hell In A Cell match where there are NO WINNERS but Him.

Jesus wrestles now? Man, talk about the biggest FACE character in history.

[Guest]

If God meant us to be full time altruists he'd have stamped a peace symbol on our foreheads instead of on our butts. Greed can be good.

Dumbest post ever.

Dumbest post ever.

Lol.

So what's dumb about it? Greed drives the economy and that economy allows someone in "poverty" to have a higher standard of living than almost anyone in the rest of the world.

I was trying to use the example of the kind of severe dishing he could serve without the choreography....real deal.....LOL But, yeah, he would always be the Face of Faces.
