Jesus for President

RE: Jesus for President
Um...the fucking republicans were ready to throw the law out the window when they thought Schwarzenegger could be a viable candidate for them.

http://www.infowars.com/print/nwo/hatch.htm

Quote:Washington -- The constitutional amendment that could allow Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to run for president starts making its uncertain way through Congress on Tuesday.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who first introduced the amendment in July 2003 -- before Schwarzenegger announced on Aug. 6. of that year that he would run in the recall election against then-Gov. Gray Davis -- has scheduled the first hearing on the proposed amendment Tuesday in the Judiciary Committee that he chairs. The committee will hear testimony but won't take a vote.

Hatch's amendment calls for changing the Constitution's current provision, spelled out in Article 2 Section 1. Drafted in 1787, it says that only natural-born Americans at least 35 years old who have lived in the country for 14 years can serve as president or vice president.


There are times when I think that people in other countries do not understand exactly HOW FULL OF SHIT republicans are when they say anything!

Thanks for reminding me of that, Min, I completely forgot about it. Funny how they didn't think that being a natural-born citizen was so important back then, now it's the most important issue our country is facing. Another reason I'm convinced that the whole birther issue is based on the color of skin.

If you look at this from the Christian perspective, Jesus would be the perfect King. He cares about the people (died for them), he's merciful, he's infinitely rich (has and made everything), he's 'infinitely' wise so He'd make the best decision in each case. So for what reason would you not want a perfect king? Unless you have another definition for perfect. In that case, I would like hearing it if you agree sharing it to us.

And why is do you call Him a tyrant? Such an accusation deserves justification.

Examples of Jesus caring about the people:
Matthew 15:21-26 (Jesus refuses to help a Canaanite woman until she calls herself a "dog")
Mark 4:11-12 (Jesus makes it clear that only the elect will be saved and the rest he deliberately confuses so they will be condemned to Hell)
Mark 14:6 (Jesus says screw the poor, let me have that fine ointmnent)
Luke 12:49 (Jesus pledges to bring fire to the earth and longs for it to happen)
Luke 19:27 (Jesus tells a parable where a king, symbolic of himself, announces that he will kill any who don't wish to be ruled by him)

Examples of Jesus' mercy
Jesus curses a fig tree for not bearing him figs (Mark 11:14). This is interpreted to be a curse on the Jews.
Jesus curses a city to a fate worse than Soddom if they will not receive his disciples (Mark 6:11)
Jesus promises a day like the day of Noah's flood when he returns (Matthew 24:37)
Jesus will burn all who do not follow him, inspiring the practice of burning heretics at the stake (John 15:6)

Jesus "wisdom" is also overrated. I would need to recite all four Gospels to do this topic justice. He proposed self-mutilation for salvation, believed faith could order mountains into the sea or bring back the dead, believed in the silly stories of Noah and Adam, thought the stars would fall from the sky in the end times, preached such extreme pacifism that would be the death of any country that practiced it, thought that demons caused illness, etc.

If Christianity is to be believed, Jesus watched all the inquisitions, witch-burnings, crusades, and all manner of other cruelties done in his name and has done nothing to stop any of it. In any international court of law, he would be charged with war crimes for the actions of his followers.

If Jesus were real, he would be the least fit to stand in any judgment of anyone. He should beg our forgiveness, not the other way around.

Wouldn’t we all be killed, after all Jesus is the second Coming and its JOHNNY, OH I mean Judgment Day?

I would repent right there and now, when the red dragons set the world on fire.

Far from the only example, though....

They were all for personal mandates in health care.....

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/...e-mandate/

until that nigger got it enacted.

They originated the idea of a path to citizenship....

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3945696.html

but they don't want it from some nigger.

And they wanted a No-Fly zone in Libya....

http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/03/26...-hopefuls/

until he gave it to them...now they don't want it anymore!


The symbol of the GOP should be an overflowing cesspool.
