What do you think Jesus would really do? Post examples and reasons why.

I think he would keep forgetting to close doors. He was born in a barn.

Stables actually, which have doors. As do barns.

He'd start a band and call it 'Nickelback'.

I think he'd run for congress on a third party, and anyone who didn't vote for him would look like an asshole

I think he and I would fight the capitalists together until we got into an argument about whether sex is sinful.

It's a well established fact that Christians have a low opinion of sex.

Does that mean Jesus did/does too?

It could be argued that Christians hive a high opinion of sex and therefore want it cherished until marriage.

Sexuality is different though

Given the way they talk about it and want to ban it from the airwaves, that doesn't seem likely.

Recognise the difference between sex and sexuality.

How about not assuming you know what Christians think. Sex is very healthy and important to a MARRIED couple. It doesn't belong on the airwaves, should be avoided before marriage, and shouldn't be encouraged in schools by giving away condoms, but that doesn't mean it's looked down on.

Fine, so they're anti-sexuality.

I was a Christian once. I know how they think. If they have so many restrictions on it, then why aren't they anti-sex? Because they approve of it in certain circumstances? That doesn't mean they have truly positive attitudes towards it.

What Would Jesus Do? He'd make bracelets, jewelry, etc with the letters "WWJD?" on them so that some capitalist can get really rich spreading Christian fashion throughout America.

1.) Ever heard of 'freedom of speech'? =) If someone is going to be influenced by the radio, they aren't the kind of people you want having sex. Period. X_x

2.) Why avoid sex before marriage...? Try before you buy, says I! (I made a funny!)

3.) Sex is not encouraged in schools. Safe sex is encouraged in schools.

It is a well established strereotype, perpetrated by people who are bigoted against Christians, I myself love me some booty, nice big booty.
I think Jesus too likes the hotties just he likes fidelity more.

The people who want to ban everything with sex in it. The people who got Gundam SEED censored into oblivion and made it a crime to possess hentai (which is NOT the same thing as ecchi!).

Now there's something we can agree on.

Jesus would first have a klondike bar. Then he would laze about in some house in either the Hamptons or Beverly Hill region, or maybe Florida and tan up, enjoying the money all the TV evangelists owe him.

Not quite sure if I want to ask this but,

What is ecchi?

I'm too scared to google.

Yeah, giveme a link to some Hentai and ecchi pardon my ignorane but I am curious, and have no respect for bans legal or otherwise.

I think Jesus gave us sex as a gift, that we abuse..its for our pleasure if it comes after marriage, otherwise its a sin.

i think WWJD is real hard to know in all circumstances, but its great to try id say

Where does it say, no no where does Christ say sex is a sin before marriage but not after?
I hear it alot(especially from Catholics) but I have never read it.
I have read where it is best to be married for sex(yes for sex, not for procreation, marriage is to exercise a man and womans desires, yeah baby).

What is ecchi?

Ecchi is simply anime/manga that is erotic, while hentai is sexually deviant.
Doorn Batask

Hentai - Literal definition: Nasty

Dragon Pink is an example of hentai.

Ecchi would be more like kama sutra, where hentai would be pr0n.

EDIT: To clarify: It's not necessarily educational. It's just not pr0n.

Wrong. The correct statement is... "I was a Christian once, I know how -I- thought." Your perceptions are not everyones who claim the same title.

There's a lot of good truth in abstinance. If you can't immediately recall it, I refer you to several things: AIDS, Teen Pregnancy, Syphilis, Herpes, etc... While not impossible when you abstain until marriage (lots of 'circumstances') cut out 99% of the unwanted affect associated with sex, even beyond the physical aspects.

I've always noticed a very positive attitude towards sex. You might have a read of Song Of Solomon, it's in the Bible. ;)


I think Jesus would make a line of sneakers, contracting with Nike (tm) to support his crusades and hungry disciples. Nike Water Walkers comes to mind...

What do you think Jesus would really do?

Same thing he always does ... make some nice speeches about the importance of Communism, mend a few broken things, be declared God by several illiterate rednecks (cajoled, of course, by a couple of lawyers), and then led silently to his gruesome torture and death.

Oh ... you need some form of examples .... how about The Gospels? It's really all we have to go by.

Haven't you heard of condoms? How does being married make you any safer from STD than being together for a long time?

Giving away condoms really isn't the problem. As a teenager let me tell you, most of my peers will have sex no matter what they've been taught. If they aren't taught to use condoms they will just have sex unprotected. Saying "No no, not until you're married!" wouldn't stop anyone I know.


And I think Jesus would use his turn signal.

Your assuming that he think sex is sinful?
I seem to remember God telling Adam and Eve something about being fruitful and multipying, which would add credence to the belief that He didn't regard the act essentially sinful.

It's a well established fact that Christians have a low opinion of sex.

It's amazing what people "know" about Christians that turns out to be completely wrong. I can't speak for others, but for me, sex is one of the best aspects of my marriage and see no reason why I shouldn't enjoy it.

Why do you demand that we get married?

Who said we demanded anything? We certainly encourage it, but that is hardly the same thing.

You know Letila I usually find your post very liberal and open minded.
However, you have no idea how I think just because you may or may not have been in my sect of particular religion.
By your statement logic would dictate that you believe all Muslims think the same, all Jews, all Buddhists so forth and so on. and that anyone who occasioned that faith would have gleaned insight into the inner working of the minds of everyone else in that faith.
The mere fact that you were a Christian and are no longer demostrates you do not think like--ergo do not have a genuine understanding of a person who is still a Christian.
I again, have never found your opinions to be bigoted or closed minded, I hope this one was merely poor wording on your part. You usually state things that I disagree with, but never in anything less then a repsectable open minded way.
The quoted post being the only exception.
Oh and thanks for the definitions.
Of Hentai and ecchi.
