I'm going to get into trouble for this

​WHAT WOULD JESUS DO
 
Years ago, rubber bands with the letters, WWJD, adorned the wrists of tens of thousands, so I wonder if Jesus was here today, what would he do politically. Would he tend to be more pro war, pro free market, pro harsh sentencing and anti healthcare for all? Or would he do just the opposite. Ever since Nixon was successful in getting southern evangelicals to vote as a block, they have supported Republican candidates. Not all evangelicals, of course, but the vast majority. So, is this just following or is it free, intelligent thought? It’s a question southern Christians need to ask themselves. Is it okay to forgive one candidate for transgression while wanting to lock up the other? Now, I’m certain I’ll be despised, called names, for my thoughts but that’s fine; it doesn’t make them any less pertinent. Why do we not hold the people who represent us to the same standards we would hold one who speaks to us about spiritual matters? Do we really think that Jesus would not show compassion to immigrants, to gays, to blacks, to anyone who society wishes to group one way or the other? Jesus would be neither red or blue, He would surround himself with latinos, blacks, gays, people of all races, and if He thought they were wrong He would tell them, but the self-righteous, oh the self-righteous, He would take a whip and run them out of the Temple. Look around at the people you know, how many are just like you and how many are different. Then ask yourself, WWJD? Would He entertain rabble or force them to leave? Would he mildly call it locker room talk when it offended millions? Would He want to lock her up for intercepted emails? Or would He look past and say, go and sin no more. So, ask yourself, who would He have supported? Then ask yourself, would He be pleased with my thoughts, or would He look for the whip.
