Boondocks had an episode where MLK didn't really died, he just went into a 40 year coma. When he woke up, he found the black race the condition that it's in, and thus he gave this speech. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYggWJZZSw8) Caution: ****** used every other word in video.
What would other famous leaders say if they saw the state that their people were in today.
I kinda hope that if Jesus was alive today, and saw what people has done to his teaching, he would give a similar speech.
Discuss!

At the very least look at the way the communion is handled and go, "Oh for fuck's sake, haven't you fuckers ever heard of a fucking metaphor?"

Thomas Jefferson would be pissed about how much we rely on government to take care of us.
*edit* and he's ask why the hell we're in such an economic cesspool with a fiat currency, massive taxation, and unrestrained government spending.

That's not the only thing he'd be pissed off about.

Yes he would, because he expected every man woman and child on earth would have electricity, at no cost mind you.

Um, yes? Means we're united as a family -- all one blood and one flesh? Also would have its roots in cultural beliefs that consuming your enemy (or friends) means taking on their characteristics?
Anyway, what's a meta for? ;)

Saladin, or indeed any of the Sultans from the time would probably ask how the middle-east went from being the centre of cultural and scientific enlightenment and research to the hot-bed of islamic fundamentalism it is now.

I thought that it was because the Jewish people ate the lamb they sacrificed to make the sacrifice complete.

That is awesome well said.
Jesus would be upset.
Mohammed would be upset.
Buddha would be like "Were you all high when I was talking?" "Did anyone actually write down what I said?"
Sun Tzu would be pleased. He would be endless questioned though.
Caesar would be like "I got your republic right here". Remind me to have all of you killed. Gaius Octavius I told you, I told you punk. You want a piece of me?
Nietzsche would still be crying in his corn flakes and really no fun at parties.
Plato and Aristotle would move the act to a local pub. They would be highly intellectual versions of Cliff and Norm on Cheers.
