The White House administration and pals have swift boated Jesus.

The Christians are attacking Christ.

"Love your enemy"? Worthy of nothing more than a sneer.

Open mocking of "judge not lest ye be judged" and "as you do to the least among us, you do to me" is the Rovian tactic of choice.

"The meek shall inherit the earth" is worthy of grand guffaws by the corpomedia.

And, there is general scoffing at any notion that the powers that be could actually be the "moneylenders in the temple". "Ridiculous, poisonous" statements, they say.

They are running ads 24/7, explaining that they're Christians and they are against Jesus.

Jesus used to have a pretty darn good reputation and for good reason. How could this happen?

And there they are out there, their Jolly Rogers proudly waving from their masts.

5. How? They justify everything by saying whatever they do is self-defense.

Aside from the fact the Jesus died rather than do violence for the Jews against Rome, these phony Christians completely miss the fact that there is such a thing as what Psychology calls "Self Fulfilling Prophecy" - assume someone/anyone is _____________ causes you to treat them in a manner that is consistent with ______________; they react to your behavior toward them that is consistent with how they are being treated, thus confirming your assumptions about them, which then reinforces your behavior toward them.

How? Christianity has failed. It is Big Business, social clubs, mutual admiration societies, all forms of entertainment, including vacations disguised as mission work, and show-biz wanna-bes disguised as liturgy.

That said, let us not mistake the Church for "the Church" whatever the denomination.

6. Does this mean we have to come up with a new catch-phrase now?

Ok, I'll make one up...

"Well, Jumpin' Jesus on water skis!" in honor of His Swift Boat ride.

The others are getting stale:
Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch..
Jesus Christ on a cracker...
Jesus H Christ!!!!!!!!.... and so on, and so on, and so on...

</comedic break :rofl:

9. I can't wait for the book, "Unfit for Saviorage" where Judas gives the tell all

account of Jesus's liberal failures. And the interviews about it all on Fox News.
