"What would Jesus really do?" |
CNN has this special "What would Jesus really do?", apparently being
repeated several times a day near the beginning of April. I'm annoyed
at Christian-based TV shows, but I'm especially annoyed when they're
produced by news outlets. It seems to happen around Christmas and
Easter, when TV stops to pay special recognition to the most popular
set of delusions.
Oh, yes. Who cares what Jesus would have really done. Just because
Jesus would have done it doesn't make it right. It's not like he was
infallible. Nothing is infallible.

All one has to do is sense that sense of urgency that John the Baptist,
Jesus, the self-proclaimed 'apostle' Paul -- and even the first verse of the
'Book of Revelation' written by 'John of Patmos' exuded in regards to the
end of times to realize that they all believed they were witnessing the end
to life as they once knew it. They were all wrong in regards to their
beliefs.
What would Jesus really do if transported here to the future from the
past -- accepting that he was a truly historical character? Not much. He'd
probably end up being largely ignored and perhaps even 'shouted down' by a
more 'charismatic' pastor railing against him from the lectern of one of
those 'Mega-Churches'. Hell, he probably wouldn't even crack the starting
roster of any present-day assembly of evangelical business ... Ooops ... I
meant *religious* 'superstars' just raking in all that Jesus money. Ironic,
isn't it? He'd probably be arrested and spend many a year making little
rocks out of big rocks in some prison somewhere for 'lashing' and 'bashing'
the 'money-lenders' sitting outside one of those huge Mega-Churches that
would never let him speak or preach in.
Who knows?
Being that Jesus -- if he actually lived -- can't materialize himself here
in the future because he died many moons ago, its a moot point as to what he
would or would not do. In any case, he wouldn't affect the world in the
slightest -- unless he started performing some *real* miracles that we could
all attest to and verify. But that would be considered proof that Jesus was
some form of deity; and we all know that *that* wouldn't sit too well with
the 'believers'. It would destroy their 'faith'. And the faithful don't want
*proof* that Jesus was deity, they insist that you must have *faith* that he
was. Who in the hell wants 'proof'! Go figure.

Funny how they never tell us about Jesus cursing the little fig tree,
making it die because it wouldn't bear fruit for him out of season. I
always enjoy asking apologists about that one.
