“It’s hard for me to believe that Jesus’ first priorities would have been a capital gains tax cut and the occupation of Iraq.”

One Response to “Jon Stewart on Jesus”
By Josh on Jan 22, 2005
This is such an interesting topic. Obviously Jesus would never have taken a governmental office. But then does that mean a Christian, in their efforts to be like Jesus, can never take office? Or that if they do, they should strive to not emulate Jesus? It seems like the person, when acting on their own behalf, should emulate Him, but when acting as the government, they cannot, since Jesus was not and is not Government.
