Herman Cain Claimed That A ‘Liberal Court’ Killed Jesus

[War Horse]

Crazier and crazier...

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/10/17/345531/herman-cain-liberal-court-killed-jesus/

The liberal court found Him guilty of false offences and sentenced Him to death, all because He changed the hearts and minds of men with an army of 12. His death reset the clock of time. Never before and not since has there ever been such a perfect conservative.

Cain does not explain why he finds the Roman court that sentenced and executed Jesus to be “liberal.”

1. Herman Cain is a twisted MFer.

He's like a black Mike Huckabee.

[MADem]

6. Huckabee has a better personality. nt

[SpiralHawk]

2. Twisted Soul busy Twisting Myth at the behest of his Billionaire PuppetMasters (R)

[lunatica]

3. Cain has his self constructed reality and he's sticking to it dammitt!

If you don't like it make up one of your own.

[Raschel]

19. He's trying to outcrazy Palin and Bachman. Must be trying to get those book sales up.

[NYC Liberal]

4. I thought Jesus had to die. If he hadn't, nobody would have been saved.

Right?

[Fumesucker]

5. According to the Gospel of Judas, Christ Himself told Judas to "betray" Him..

[leftyohiolib]

7. that's why the church wont include his gospel

doesnt fit the construct

[blogslut]

8. It was the crowd that sentenced Jesus to death

Herman Cain didn't read his bible.

[mod mom]

9. Yeah, because if anyone hated the social gospel, it was Jesus!

:eyes:

[nichomachus]

23. Which Jesus are we talking about

There were at least two

[LeftinOH]

10. Jesus was "a perfect conservative"? That's bordering on blasphemy.. seriously. n/t

[trotsky]

13. And to them, when people call Jesus a "perfect liberal," it is also blasphemy.

There is enough contradictory stuff in the bible that just about anybody can claim Jesus as one of theirs.

[Raschel]

15. It's pretty twisted to claim Jesus for a political party. Cain is whacko.

[FiveGoodMen]

26. But none of them care because none of them really believe anyway

Jesus is just a weapon they carry around.

[trotsky]

32. So they're all atheists then? n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

33. Not the good kind, but yes in a practical sense

No one who really believed in Jesus would dare to talk or act like any of the right wing.

[trotsky]

34. That is religious bigotry. I am disgusted. n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

36. I stand by it.

[trotsky]

38. Glad you're proud.

Since you think all bad people aren't Christians, perhaps you are supporting the wrong party.

[FiveGoodMen]

39. Maybe you didn't get my meaning, then.

"But none of them care because none of them really believe anyway"

I didn't mean all believers -- although you could certainly read it that way.

I meant all these fools who use religion (in America's case, Christianity) to control people and take away their money and freedom.

This applies to TV and megachurch preachers as well as politicians who keep waving their crosses.

You probably saw -- a year or two ago -- much discussion of the right wing saying they were going to edit the liberal parts out of the Bible.

Now, if you believe...

1) That there is a God who's in charge of everything

2) That the Bible is his word

3) That in that Bible we have the record of God actually coming to earth to rectify things, and

4) That those who still won't listen are to be tortured forever.

If you believe that, then there's no amount of money, power, or prestige that would make it worthwhile to lie about any part of it.


And yet they do. (They, again, meaning the charlatans, politicians, etc.)


Conclusion: "They" don't really believe it.


(Of course the world is full of people who actually do believe those things although I sure can't figure out why they believe it)

[trotsky]

40. Oh I get it just fine.

Anyone who does something you don't like isn't a "true" Christian.

[FiveGoodMen]

41. Suit yourself.

[City Lights]

11. Herman Cain can go cheney himself.

He's a waste of resources.

[marmar]

12. In order to hear Herman Cain, he has to sit on his microphone......

...... because all he does is talk out of his ass.

[CanonRay]

14. You know, Rome, that ancient bastion of liberalism

Sarcasm.

[WinkyDink]

16. The Disciples did not comprise "AN ARMY," you IGNORANT FOOL. They were not militants.

[Raschel]

17. It was the religious hypocrites that Jesus ripped to shreds. Like the religious Cain that wants to

kill people with a fence.

[Octafish]

18. And a sizable fraction of those who heard him believed him.

That's why, in politics and in life, lying is so effective.

Remember in 2004, how Rove and the Swift Boat Liars made John Kerry into a coward? Their "message" was broadcast 24//7 on ABCNNBCBSFixedNutsNoiseworks. And people still believe that crap.

[bullwinkle428]

20. Cain's dog whistle : "Liberal court" gets translated to "Jewish judges"

[coalition_unwilling]

21. I wonder how Cain spins the scene with the money changers? Here's

my take on it:

Wasn’t Jesus A Liberal?
by Gary Vance

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1019-24.htm


...Jesus was the ultimate liberal progressive revolutionary of all history. The conservative religious and social structure that He defied hated and crucified Him. They examined His life and did not like what they saw. He aligned Himself with the poor and the oppressed. He challenged the religious orthodoxy of His day. He advocated pacifism and loving our enemies. He liberated women and minorities from oppression. He healed on the Sabbath and forgave adulterers and prostitutes. He associated with drunks and other social outcasts. He rebuked the religious right of His day because they embraced the letter of the law instead of the Spirit. He loved sinners and called them to Himself. Jesus was the original Liberal. He was a progressive, and He was judged and hated for it. It was the self-righteous religionists that He rebuked and He called them hypocrites.

The primary issues of Christian Liberalism were birthed when Jesus spoke the profoundly prophetic words found in Matthew 25: 31-46. (40 And He shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.") These scriptures reveal God's heart for the poor, the sick and other neglected people through out history. Christians should read this text and judge for themselves which of the two groups mentioned there more accurately reflect the political parties of today. His Liberalism lives on today and the issues have not changed much....

It is time for Christians of conscience to stand up to religious and political hypocrisy. Christians should proudly proclaim progressive values today and should advocate for the Christian Liberalism that is our heritage and our legacy.

Mr. Cain is delusional -

:eyes:

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. I don't think that word means what he thinks it means. nt

[timtom]

25. I never thought that any could be stupider than Bush

Then I said ok -- Sara Palin

Nope -- Rick Perry is the stupidest

Wait! There's Michelle Bachman. Could anyone ever be stupider than THAT?

Congrats, Mr. Cain. You are the stupidest human I've ever heard of.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[FiveGoodMen]

27. Stupidest of all is the 'Murkin public which chases after dumb and dumber and dumber still

The fact that these idiots have a place on the national stage means that the US isn't fit to exist.

Look at your friends, neighbors, coworkers... They're the ones who made this possible.

[newspeak]

28. it was pontius pilot who killed jesus, it was rome

and rome was not liberal. when rome embraced christianity as an official religion, a lot of rewriting was in the works. Does anyone actually think that pontius washed his hands after crucifying many with no conscience at all? You can't have the empire embracing the religion who's leader you've crucified. Jesus was a jew and it makes a better story that his own people killed him.

Just like when maher interviewed that minister and maher spoke about the words of jesus "turn the other cheek" "embrace your enemies." The minister quoted from romans. Well romans is from saul of tarsus or paul. paul who murdered jews, paul who was a roman all of a sudden sees the light. paul who romanises the christian movement so it can be used to control and conquer. Cain is a nut if he thinks that the bloody roman empire was in any way liberal.

[WinkyDink]

29. A man named "Cain" should steer clear of the topic of religion. J/S!

[1776Forever]

30. That was deep and so true - I often wonder what kind of home these people came from. n/t

[jmowreader]

31. That's what you get when you believe on...

the Gospel of Supply Side Jesus!

[apocalypsehow]

35. If Herman Cain thinks the Romans were "liberals," I got an aqueduct in Italy I'd like to sell him.

That is some serious stupid.

[Matariki]

37. Jesus also said that giving to the poor only encourages their laziness
