Not feeling well tonight?I think he was trying to answer a nonverbal nonsensical post with a reply in a similar vein.
No question the opening post was a tear jerker, but it had zero other content. So, what would Jesus do? I think that's pretty clear from the record of what he did. He healed as many as he could as he came upon them, but he knew he couldn't heal everybody, and he knew he couldn't abolish war, poverty or injustice. The best he could do was teach people God's ways, which he did. And eventually, when he'd accomplished what he needed to with his ministry, he made the final sacrifice for us on the cross, and left his apostles to carry on and carry the message.
To take that and try to use it to make some kind of political point is pretty cheap, especially when we're talking about the guy who when asked about politics, said: "My kingdom is not of this world." No, Jesus was not a liberal and not a peacenik. He wasn't political at all.

Very good points.
Without getting personal about the teenage girl that "supposedly" is doing this website content all on her own, the motives don't seem kosher.

What would Jesus do? Weeell, it all depends on Hermeneutics & Exegesis.
Biblical experts will surely disagree with this one

I thought that illuminating the inherent hypocrisy in the claim of being "guided by God" being juxtaposed with the supposed ethos of that God whilst showing the reality of what is being done, was not an attack on the religion, but on those who abuse it for their own ends.

But I did take it as someone abusing it for their own ends, a clever use of media in a specious attempt to hijack God into the service of the peace movement... or more accurately, the peace at any price movement.
Or are you referring to Mataj's link? That one IS an explicit attack on the religion. The site itself makes that clear and unmistakable: "An AntiChrist Production from the Luciferian Liberation Front".

:shrug: watched the bit, didn't go into the site, i really don't get it.
is the author suprised that there is violence in the world? is she shocked that the world is not perfect?
were we to put soldiers in darfur to stop the genocide; who do you think the real "peacemakers" would be?

God is at fault again!! The human race will never collectively take responsiblity for their half witted, unevolved, selfish attitude towards life. Every time some idiot decides to start a war, God and religion is always rushed to the middle of the conflict. These actions have nothing to do with religion or God, these actions and results are completely "man made".
WWJD: Jesus would let us destroy ourselves!! How many chances should he give?
