53. oh?
What you SAID was that Jesus would have defended the woman in this situation. Your assertion was:

Jesus was not bigoted and he would have defended this woman from those attempting to evict her.

How can you possibly know WJWD when you don't even know what facts he would have been basing his actions on?

You did NOT merely say that Jesus was not bigoted. You implied that there had been wrongdoing against this woman, against which she needed defending.

If Jesus had merely read the news report posted in this thread, he would have no more basis for leaping to that conclusion than you or anyone else here has.

There is no basis in that report for accusing the organization that evicted her of being "bigoted or hateful or harsh or angry" than there is, you say, for saying that of Jesus -- other than the uncorroborated and possibly self-serving statement of the woman in question.

I think it would be a little "harsh" of Jesus to take a position against an organization that has not been shown to have done anything wrong -- and that in fact (do read a few of the posts here from knowledgable people) very likely did exactly what it should have done to protect the people under its responsibility.
