Didn't Jesus upset an applecart or something in a Temple once? That wasn't very peaceful of him, was it? The guy was just innocently selling apples or dates or something...okay, maybe he was money- changing but, hey, orange futures are traded right beside Swiss Francs on the Mercantile Exchange, so selling fruit and money are pretty much the same thing. If I were that apple/money seller, I would have brought Jesus to Small Claims Court. He obviously came out of meditation too fast that morning or, as Harvey Keitel pointed out in that Scorcese picture, the semen had gone to his brain. Why pick on some poor schlob trying to eke out a living? Doesn't seem fair. Too much of an imbalance between the combatants; you have the Son of God with all the power of the universe on the one hand and some petty entrepreneur on the other. If Jesus the Big Shot wanted to bully someone, why didn't he pick on someone his own size, like Pontificus Pilates and the Holy Roman Catholic Empire that was controlling Judea at the time? So I think Jesus was a kinda bully, don't you? Hardly a man of peace. > The one's who are willing to commit suicide, are possessed with > demonic evil spirit, not the Holy Spirit, not the Spirit of Love. > The are filled with hatred and dream of destruction- this spirit > chooses anyone who prays to it. > People like Hitler, Charlie Manson, Osama bin Laden, and many others > now, and in the past. You left out George Bush who's responsible for burning 90% of all the carbon in all the cigarettes in all the pockets of all 1.2 billion Red Chinese (they LOVE Marlboro cigarettes, doncha know, as virtually every photograph of downtown Shanghai sports at least one Marlboro Cowboy billboard in the background). Off_Schmuck and Bhairitu will tell you that Gorgeous George is right up there with Adolf, Charlie and Obama. So, why did you leave him out? > They lust for power for power sake.
