Who would Jesus have voted for in the presidential elections?

[Хahar 🤔]

All of them, if you like.

And I'm referring to the guy from Nazareth.

[bullmoose88]

All of them, if you like.

And I'm referring to the guy from Bethlehem.

Somehow I think if he were around, and not restoring the Kingdom, he'd be too busy improving the lives of common people to give a damn.

That and I'd doubt he'd endorse any candidate because each is flawed.

Well, we're all flawed. Let's say Jesus was an ordinary person. Based on his views, who would he vote for?

That's my point, it wouldn't matter if he actually was the son of God incarnate...he'd still not want to endorse any candidate's flaws.

Interesting; though I'm not sure about 1968, I can definitely see him voting Perot.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Actually coming to think of it, I doubt Jesus would vote at all. Certainly not for any of the candidates of the mainstream left or right.

Though I think he would have voted for James Birney.

[Hash]

Definite Nader voter in 2000, maybe 2004.

[War on Want]

Kerry in 2004.

[Sensei]

Paul '08. No? Anyone?

[7,052,770]

Eugene Debs, Norman Thomas, and all the Socialist candidates through Walt Browne.

Jesus never was a pragmatic fellow and would not worry about "wasting His vote"

[Gabu]

Oh boy, this is basically the ultimate "let's see who's a hack" thread.  You can't brag any bigger about your candidate than "God's on his side".

Actually, I always vote for Democratic candidates, whereas Jesus would have always voted for Socialist candidates.

Jesus wouldn't have voted, because that would be an endorsement of a far from perfect political system and government.

He endorsed the Roman Empire, which is much further from perfect.

I thought he merely said to pay rome's taxes, a legal requirement.  Not to choose, without reprocussion, to endorse their actions.

[Ebowed]

Why do you hate Jesus?

Because he was immoral.

I don't believe in human sacrifice and I refuse to accept them, frankly.

WTF!? Go get a life. Without Jesus, America would be rules by Pagans that would probably persecute you Athiets, asshole. Haven't you noticed that almost every single Christian nation is a Liberal Democracy. We respect your rights.

I'm not sure how that has any bearing on Jesus's morality, or lack thereof.

He didn't say that Christians had installed some sort of draconian regime; he said that their founder was immoral.  While I'd be interesting to hear him support his claim, what you're talking about is totally unrelated.
