So it seems the election was decided on the war on Iraq and 'moral values'. Luckily the Christian right seems to have all the answers to the world's problems.
 
Which begs the question:  Who would Jesus bomb if he were alive today?

WWJB?

That would look awesome on a bracelet.

Bizzaro thing:  Bush won Ohio by about 2%.  The gay marriage ban won by about 2 to 1.  So was it that Kerry supporters wanted traditional values too?

If I was Jesus I'd bomb the Vatican for that whole alter boy fiasco. "Oh crap it's the boss! INCOMING!!!"

Why bomb obscure middle east countries I say we take over canada and finally be able to connect alaska to the other 48. The canadians would never see it coming and the look on their faces would be priceless.

We tried taking over Canada twice. Revolution and War of 1812.  Lost both times.  Don't need to try for a hat trick.  Besides, then we'd have to deal with the Quebecquois.

You apostrophe abusers are really beginning to p**s me off. And that goes for everybody.

Jesus is alive, and there's no question of who he's bombing: nobody! If he were among us again, he'd probably just point out the importance of giving yourself over to God, and how you've neglected this in your mad rush to politics. Bombing anyone or anything is rather redundant for an omnipotent guy who can fry any sinner at any time as he sees fit. The whole world's going to end someday and we're all mortal anyway, so why rush things?

One subject concerning religion and politics has lately fascinated me: if Rome were nuked tomorrow, good Catholics would be able to get up, dust themselves off, get a new pope, and carry on; they've already been through the "Babylonian Captivity" in Avignon and besides, Christianity began in Jerusalem, not Rome. But what would the Muslims do if someone H-bombed the Kaaba in Mecca? I'm interested in hearing from a genuine Muslim on this point.

Yes, you're right, it was awful grammar. The singular not the plural (duh!).

Got that, no need to double post though!

I wasn't going to wade into this discussion, but I am glad to see somebody point out that there is a big difference between actual Christian values and some of the things people say and do in Jesus' name. I'm getting a little tired of people knocking a religion because of the human failings of some of its practitioners, now or in the past.

The Ghoul

What a wasted topic on a movie site. We have as a species argued about religion since the dawn of soap. Get over it! Here's my take. I think Jesus Christ would make the ultimate B-movie monster!! Why? Like Jason Vorreese, Jesus goes after sinners. Am I right? Jesus is of course all powerful and does  not need a machete. Just flowing robes and his special "touch." Jason wins on the resurrection dept, but given the grosses of Passion Of The Christ that could be fixed! Hmmmm... Jesus just needs a little theme music but the cool thing is when Jesus goes after those butt naked teens who refuse to get married first before sex ...well...when they scream and they will...they'll be sayin' "JESUS H. CHRIST!!" How cool would that be?! After finishing off Jason, then onto Freddy, it would be on to Budda! Remember Jesus loves you...or else. So don't f**k with the Jesus.

AndyC

I always thought Jesus had potential as an action hero. He could sacrifice himself to save humanity at the end of the movie, and still be back for a sequel.

There was a mock movie poster in a magazine i got a while ago called 'Bible II: Jesus strikes back'

It is the funniest poster ever: Ben Affleck is a jesus who wears a jetpack with an American flag on the side, Sean Connery is God, Al Pacino is Lucifer, Gene Hackman is Noah on a speedboat and a dodgy captains hat, Gary Oldman is the butcher baptist and there are some others.  Its hilarious!

It would make one hell of a good movie!
