Jesus taught that his followers are to treat others as they would treat themselves

[Az]

The GOP have made quite the show of claiming to be the party of Jesus. Let us take them at their word and treat them as they treated us when they were in power. It is clearly how they expect and wish to be treated themself.

1. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Golden Rule. Yup. So, since they're all perfect Christians, it's clear how they want to be treated. You're right. Heh. Heh. Heh.

2. I look it as an experience for them

to truly understand what it means to be a minority. Now they shouldn't be against rights for everyone since they are experiencing it first hand.

[ulysses]

3. ha!

Excellent!

[leftofthedial]

4. that's a good approach

I think we should declare them all enemy combatants and ship them to Gitmo, along with all their families.





sheesh I can't frigging type on this computer

5. I have a great deal of respect for Jesus, but...

the way he overturned those money-lenders tables was counter-productive to his message.

:evilgrin:

20. Actually it was effective

Because he didn't do it ALL THE TIME. Sometimes he used parables.

21. Every once in a while

it feels good to throw a big fit.

Gotta get that stuff out of your system.

[Infinite Hope]

7. Let's set a better precedent for the future.

I prefer not lowering myself to their standards nor do I want my party doing so. I want my party to work with integrity as Pelosi seems determined to do.

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. We don't have to lower anything

they have to come up to ours, or they don't get to play.

[Raine]

8. Agreed

that's what they have been promoting. :evilgrin:

[monktonman]

9. yah...lets forget about "turn the other cheek"

he said that too
didnt he???
I find it alot easier to just admit I dont belive in Jesus.

[TroglodyteScholar]

10. Was that really Jesus?

I've heard it attributed to Confucius...who lived some 500 years (?) before Jesus.

12. Socrates got the idea as well... in fact if you look in any philosophy

you will find it. Thats because its human nature. We are a learning social species. We are wired to learn from each other. We are also an empathic species in that we internalize the actions and events we observe others partaking in. We cue up to others actions and feel more in touch with them when our actions match theirs.

13. not sure

was just something my fundie aunt used to ram up my ass.

11. Not as you would treat yourself, as you would treat him.

"What so ever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me."

It is the key concept of christianity, I think.

14. I modded to fit the subject line

The point got through though I suspect.

[Joe for Clark]

18. I understand - and I have no doubt you understand.

It is a radical thought, though.

Not really unique to christians, I think -

But should be clearly stated.

15. Repug rule: Do unto others, then split!!!

:yoiks:

[AspenRose]

16. oooh...that's an oldie but goodie from back in the day

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

17. Jesus Christ WHIPPED the money changers out!

Dude was dangerous - pissed people off (esp. the money-changers).

[kikiek]

19. My message for all the so called Christians is let's put Christ back into Christianity.

Quit using it to justify your hate and greed.
