...in every sense of the word....LIBERAL. As liberals we and our candidates should be proud of our connection to his message.
Jesus lived with, loved, and served the homeless, prostitutes, outcasts, the sick, criminals, TAX COLLECTERS. His is a message of mercy, forgiveness, and aid. Pretty progressive/liberal/leftist stuff if you ask me, especially if you throw in the anti-materialist, anti-war and communal sharing teachings of his. I just don't see how you end up with the conservative/fundemenatalist image of this man that has been foisted on us. Seems like Christ's real message got hi-jacked and replaced somewhere along the way and needs to be recaptured and set free.
So, along those lines, I'm delighted that John Kerry has started that process and has used the teachings of that radical liberal revolutionary Jesus Christ to challenge our leadership to match their actions with their words as their saviour calls upon them to do.
George, Jesus says, talk is cheap, it's ALL about your actions, man.....maybe you should check out his teachings a little more closely.
