What would Jesus do.....

Hmm interesting.


The 'What Would Jesus Do' Thing started a few years back, it was a book that came out with different stories in it directed towards teenagers. The theme grew and has still continued to make a influence on t-shirts,key chains,bracelets,and necklaces,bumper stickers as well as symbols on cars.

I never read the book ,the church sent me one when I grad from high school though so it's covered in dust on the book shelf somewhere. Supose to be a inspiring book to teenagers to keep them in the faith.

I think he'd get drunk, sit back and watch the fireworks.

He'd start by changing the Water to Wine...

Then turn the Loaves into Fishes *(hiccup)*...Then walk on Water after he wuz fully sauced...

I like your avatar, Lavender.


I think Jesus would be into Fireworks. I believe he would surprise many as to his compassion and I think again, some of the religions wouldn't believe it was him because he dosn't "think' like they do. He did make wine at a wedding, so I would like his wine, probably would be better than Dom Perignon.

I think I would be able to chat with Jesus and feel very connected to him and have wine with him and enjoy the fireworks.

Hopefully he'd let me introduce him to the original sin

 

[april-wine]

i think jesus would provide the best damn display of fireworks available, i mean damn he's jesus you think he should have connections....he would be out in the yard firing up the bbq, wearing one of those corny aprons, "kiss my grits" flipping the thick juicy steaks on the grill....passing around the long necks....

 

[Demian]

*(ouch)*...

Hopefully he'd let me introduce him to the original sin

[InternationalFunboy]

Well if jesus was going to kick it at the funnery, I'd insist among those long-necks and spleefs and fireworks shows that he cure an effing disease now and then. Or else it's nothing but jesus jokes ALL night along.....

Jesus walks in to an inn and says can you put me up for the night? sis boom bah.....

I prefer to live my life by the "What would He-Man do?" philosophy......

Thi s practice reminds me of a routine a friend of mine used to do on stage...the bit was about how in Catholic School the nuns would work Jesus into every lesson plan. You know, "If Jesus had ten apples..." or "If Jesus were on a train doing ninety miles per hour..." etc.

I find the whole "Jesus Buddy" mentality distasteful, with all these attempts to work Jesus into morally trivial contemporary situations by making him some kind of Big Brother in sandals. They do the same thing with the Devil, transforming him to this wicked dopleganger to Christ. "See, kids, this is how Jesus handles sin, and this is how the Devil does it." Man! It's like Jesus and Satan have been reduced to the theological equivalent of Goofus and Gallant.

GOD, doesn't it though

I read once, and I agree, that Jesus wouldn't be too much fun at a barbecue (which I would include a 4th of July celebration under). If you've read the accounts of Jesus' life in the Gospels and gotten beyond simplistic interpretations, you see that He had a knack for making people around Him uncomfortable. The insights He had into every person He encountered allowed Him to ask them questions or tell them stories that made them think about who they were and how they were choosing to live their lives. He typically did not condemn (though there are certainly examples of His wrath), but He definitely made people think.

So, what would Jesus do on the Fourth of July? I think He would be someplace ministering in His own special way to a group that needed His direction, whether it be a group of hypocritical "Christians", Jews, Muslims, Hindus, humanists, atheists, deists, animists, et. al.

I think that it isn't altogether bad to once in a while have these thoughts in your mind though, Dixon. I find it helps me to keep centered. I in no way look at it like your scenario, although I understand your impression.

Personally, I think he would make some uncomfortable like manosafety indicated, but I don't think that would be with everyone. If you respect who and what he is, I think he would embrace that.

[Cirrus]

Yeah, what would Jesus do? Speed, coke, shrooms, heroin? The possibilities are endless.

Lavy, nice avatar, but I have them off...why do I still see yours, oh masked one?

i believe they did have kansas city bbq ribs at the last supper

 

[Weird Harold]

I think he'd get drunk, sit back and watch the fireworks.

My first thought was He'd take a bottle of wine and a tuna sandwich to the fireworks display and "ooooh" and "Ahhhh" along with the rest of the crowd.

(He'd share his wine and tuna sandwich, of course.)

because she did not put it in the avatar area, she linked it in her location area, hence you haveing to be stuck seeing it, sowwy.

What WOULD Jesus do on the 4th of July?

First of off he'd probably wander around looking for someone to explain to him what the 4th of July was and what all these little red white and blue pieces of cloth all over the place were. Of course that would lead to having to explain America (let alone what he was doing in America in 2001). That would require an explanation of advances in seafare, travel, etc over the last 2000 years. A brief course in Democracy probably wouldn't hurt either. That's just for the reason to celebrate...

To explain fireworks - would require a history of China which could lead to some very interesting asides regarding Lao Tzu, Zen, etc and Jesus' own beliefs... which would of course lead to Buddha... Mohammed... etc...

Then of course the biggie - he'd be at a BBQ or or a big celebration and he'd see all these people with crosses on their neck - and he'd probably fucking freak out and get all paranoid about why everyone is wearing the instrument of his demise...

So - after all that.. what would Jesus do? Probably go into hiding - become a hermit in a cave somewhere...

Or maybe he'd just get wasted and listen to some Souza marches - which of course would require the explaination of a Tuba - which I doubt anyone can properly explain.

[Weird Harold]

And how would one explain a tuba? It is a bizarre little instrument.

A tuba might be hard to explain, but the Sousaphone that you two are referring to is easy to explain. It was designed by John P. Sousa to provide the same deep tonal range as a conventional Tuba in a shape that could easily be carried in a marching band.

Jesus would probably recognize the principle, because the design in based in part on Roman military signal horns that had the same over the shoulder circular design.

Jesus

would simply do what he did on any other day of the week. Get out of the way for Ceasar's due and prepare for the day when he was out from under Ceasar's thumb and back under dad's rules.

Then go shoot some hoop with Buddha, Allah and Michael Jordan, 'cause Jesus kinda has connections like that...
