This is something that is oft-overlooked amid today's red-faced religious vitriol and the pious posturings of right-wing politicians, leaders and various conservative windbags who claim they possess "the way, the truth and the life."Jesus is a dang librul. He is, in fact, the biggest progressive of all time. Moreover, the Great Platypus has revealed to me that it's true: Jesus did vote for Obama. (This can be readily confirmed by interpreting the radio pulsar surveys from the Cat's Eye Nebula, according to PM.)
Now, we wouldn't go so far as to proclaim Jesus a socialist, or anti-business. But we are certain He supports health care reform and the public option.
Christianity in the United States has been hijacked by ignorant, blowhard philistines and greedy conservative moneychangers -- their temple is the marketplace. If you really want some insight, we recommend the excellent new book, Jesus Was a Liberal: Reclaiming Christianity for All, by theologian and Stanford University dean Scotty McClennan.
