Alan Colmes: Could you miss the point by a wider margin?
http://rsmccain.blogspot.com/2009/10...-point-by.html
Alan Colmes has a stomach turner of a post:
"Jesus Would Like Today’s GOP?" http://www.alan.com/2009/10/04/would...ke-todays-gop/
From a collective noun point of view, I submit that Jesus wouldn't have
cared about the GOP. Jesus was entirely a-political, from the time he preached a Sermon on the Mount that had zero political content, to the time he essentially refused to engage the Sanhedrin and Pontius Pilate before the crucifixion.
From an individual point of view, Jesus cares for every member of the GOP, everyone on the left, the readers of this post, and me.
I request that everyone sit down with a cuppa their favorite warm beverage and actually
READ what Jesus had to say in the Gospels prior to attempting to enlist the Christ to support any viewpoint on any particular issue. ("Render unto Ceasar" comes to mind ... )
While Christ, and therefore His actual followers, are not going to engage in explosive landscaping near you as result of your silliness, Alan, you are on notice that this is a Party Foul.
Argue your point from a simple ethical base, and cease missing the point of the Christ, please.
UPDATE (RSM):
http://www.memeorandum.com/091004/p38#a091004p38 Just saw this via Memeorandum -- why bother actually reading your own blog? -- and wanted to say that whenever I want advice about Jesus, Alan Colmes is the man whose advice I seek.
We're like this, me and Alan. Old buddies from way back. One of the finest Christians I've ever known. So I hope Rachel Maddow will book good ol' Al on her show, because he's such a dear friend of mine and Lynn Vincent's.

“Jesus Christ Quits Christianity After Viewing Republican Platform.” http://www.williamkwolfrum.com/2008/...lican-platform When I Tweeted this earlier
http://twitter.com/AlanColmes/status/4603886229 I received nasty comments from some conservatives.

I think Jesus would be more likely to clean out
all of Congress as he cleared the Temple of the moneychangers and salesmen ... for much the same reasons.
On Alan Colmes: "Jesus Would Like Today’s GOP?"
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.** a 4 day work week & sex slaves ~ I say Tyt for PRESIDENT!
