Jesus as Secretary of Defense Obviously, this is absurd. But my purpose here is to outline what would be said about Jesus if he was nominated for a cabinet position.
- Jesus' parents were forced to get married.
- Jesus was a troubled youth that ran away from home.
- Even though Jesus was a professional man, he relied on women for his livelihood. He did not work.
- One of men closest to Jesus was a known terrorist. Another associate committed suicide. Another associate betrayed him at the end.
- Jesus compared people of a different ethic background than himself to dogs.
- Jesus never married. You know what that means.
- His supporters burnt Rome.
- His supporters refused to show allegiance to our nation (by burning incense to the emperor).
- Jesus is a Jew.
- Jesus is a phony faith healer.
- Jesus supported a law that condemned homosexuality.
- Jesus told stories rather than use plain language in order to deceive his listeners.
Jesus would never be confirmed to Trump's cabinet.
My point is not to say that Trump's picks are great. My point is that the quality, or lack of it, to Trump's picks don't matter. He is Trump. The same kind of thing took place with Obama, Bush and Clinton. It just depends on the political orientation of a particular media outlet.
Don't be deceived.
