Yes, especially when he announces more welfare and social spending to help the poor.

There are a lot of people who claim Jesus is the most important person, but is he good enough to be LORD yet not worthy of being President?

"Render unto Caesar"

That will go over well...

I thought you had to be born on American soil to run for president.

LOL

By taking this seriously now, if we are to think about it, from a Christian perspective Jesus would be a monarch. He is after all "King of kings", isn't He? So ... He wouldn't be running for elections. He would automatically be King, unless He would desire not to be for some particular reason.

This is a republic, so off with Jesus' head then. But I have no doubt you guys would remain pathetic infantile fools you have been hitherto, and just start to worship the guillotine, but at least there will be fewer fraudsters running around trying to affect stigmata in the form of the stump of severed neck.

Well seeing as how Republican Christians in this country seem to think that God is an American, then Jesus is by birth.
