If Jesus walked the earth today...
He be called a commie, a liberal, a socialist, a bleeding heart, a dogooder.

He's be vilified daily by fascists like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Hannity, Bill O, Fascist News, to name a few.

He'd condemn America's indifference to our poor, our sick, our disabled, our struggling middle class.

He'd condemn this nation for allowing 18,000 people to die annually because they cannot afford proper health care. And let's not forget the 47 million who also cannot afford health care or insurance.

He'd condemn our addiction to materialism, greed, imperialism, and warmongering.

And our newest religion, the worship of the almighty dollar. The real American God.

Which has also become the new American flag.

The last time a "darker" skinned liberal took on the wealthy white establishment, they nailed him to a cross and shoved a spear in his side.

.....................................................................................................

God, if you exist please here this atheists plea.

Guide this ideologically bankrupted nation to elect a man that can lead it back to greatness.

Barack Obama.

Peace.

2. First thing He would do if He came back today
He'd go to Virginia Beach and trash the CBN/700 Club studios like He did the Temple back in the day. Then He would go to Wall Street and kick some money changer ass.

3. He'd be busted for vagrancy and thrown into the clink
His ability to reach other inmates with his ideas would get him segregated.

Then they'd lose his paperwork.

Problem solved.

i hope you aren't looking to obama's election as proof of His existence . that will be a much more personal & exciting experience. :):):) i think about the prophets & wonder about their experiences -- can you imagine laying naked for days because God told you to. that is an Experience...but if you are questioning-- He will answer you and you will be happy :):)
