Jesus...? Jesus was the biggest con artist in the history of humanity.

Jennifer i think you need to look up the philosopher Stefan Molyneux and have a chat with him once, or just look at a few of his videos to get some perspective, i think it would be very helpful for your own self evolution. You seem like one of the few politicians that means well....

Will be interesting to watch your new show, good luck

If Jesus ran for President: Stone gays; re-establish slavery; feed the poor and heal the sick(for free); legalise polygamy; death penalty for sex workers; legalise infanticide for babies upto one 1 month old; open hunting season on non-Christians; lynch oil speculators and wall street. Are you really sure your want this guy influencing politics?

@CHARG3R It wasn't Jesus, it was his followers like Paul and Peter. They were the ones that twisted is words and turned him into a God.

@enjoji Another problem I have is this straw man argument you make talking about "censorship." No, it's the things that shape her mindset that IS the problem. Her caring about what Jesus supposedly said or even caring that much about what is in a book written 1900 years ago IS the problem.

@enjoji So you don't care if people believe in things that are true???

Here's the problem: Say I believe witches are real, and I agree with the Bible verse in Exodus that says I shall not suffer a witch to live. Do you not have a problem with this? You may claim killing a witch is not "loving and compassionate," but isn't it? Think of the people I would be saving from that witch. If I believe this witch is harming people, would I not need to kill the witch out of compassion for his/her victims?

@CHARG3R whoa, i wouldnt go there, jesus not the much, but Christianity and the purveyors of the institutions collectively are maybe a con...theyre not consciously deceiving people-some are-the nature of the religious structure though is to deceive-deception is its main mode of survival..so its not the people individually but them taken together in their support for the institution...kinda like how slavery was, there could be magnanimous slave owners- but slavery in itself was immoral..

[enjoji]

If you aren't a believer then just replace 'Jesus' with love and compassion as a concept. That's what I do whenever I hear it. We can't be tolerant of people of faith if we have a bitch fit every time we hear anything pertaining to religion. As long as your faith keeps you in touch with your spirituality and centers you around love and compassion, I don't care what you believe. I would rather a representative speak and share the things that shape their mindset rather than censor themselves.

[enjoji]

Term limits is a tricky issue. Keep them and you can lose good leaders. Don't have them and horrible and corrupt people can stay forever. Even with them, you can just swap idiots for idiots and get no where. The real answer is become our own leaders. In the 21 century, the information age, more connected than ever, why do we need babysitters to represent us. We have no excuse anymore. We need to be more active and less passive about how the nation finds its leaders. We can represent ourselves.

[enjoji]

Haha Jesus was a very smart answer. If you think about how Republican candidates tote Christian morals as a banner to get votes yet support and pass policies that, whether Jesus is real or not, are definitely against the cannon teaching of compassion found in his message. It's really damning to have someone from the opposite party to name drop Jesus in the way she did in this video. She is very bright and a great speaker as I have seen from these war room videos thus far. ^_^

Getting rid of the electoral college would be the stupidest move ever in this country. Do a little reasearch on the matter, it empowers the voters, enables a fair race, and prevents mob rule.

@ofpfury you make it difficult to be an atheist
