Suppose a pop star said they wanted Jesus Christ to be the next President?

[taterguy]

[atommom]

[ikojo]

3. Like these smilies.....

:crazy: :eyes:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. Same way I react to any news about a pop star. By changing the channel. n/t

[Vincardog]

5. JC does not want the job

[taterguy]

6. Suppose the pop star was Woody Guthrie?

I could drag this out longer but I've got things to do and didn't want to leave folks hanging. I started this thread to point out that the Christ of today is a bit different than the Christ of 50 years ago.

What the hell happened?

Christ for President, lyrics by Woody Guthrie

Let's have Christ for President.
Let us have him for our King.
Cast your vote for the Carpenter
that you call the Nazarene.

The only way we can ever beat
these crooked politician men
Is to run the money changers out of the temple
And put the Carpenter in

O It's Jesus Christ for president
God above our king
With a job and a pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring

Every year we waste enough
to feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
and we shoot it down with wars

But with the Carpenter on the seat
away up in the capital town
The USA would be on the way prosperity bound!

7. I'd say, "Boy, the drugs sure have changed since I did 'em."

Because it was never like that in the olden days. I don't think it was anyway. It's hard to remember now. Hmmm...

[taterguy]

8. You must have been doing drugs a very long time

Congrats to you for defying the so-called experts who say that drug use always leads to an early death :)

9. You need to be born in the USA and alive to run for president

So a popstar can say anything they want. Without a guy named Jesus (Christ is a title not a name) standing around and proclaiming his candidacy for president it really doesn't make much of a difference.

[taterguy]

10. That's the spirit!

Post whatever you want to say, without bothering to read the thread. :)

12. Thought I was conveying how I would react

I would see it as a bunch of nonsense and keep on going.

11. Don't think the country is ready for a Jewish president. nt

[C_U_L8R]

13. Vote for amazing jesus !

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Bah! A long-haired hippie who wants to feed the poor and heal the sick and bring peace???

What are you? Some kind of commie?

[Az]

15. Taterguy, I think you need to rephrase the question

What is the focus of your question? The fact that it is a popstar making the suggestion or that it is Jesus that is being promoted for president?

[JANdad]

16. Yes Yes...we all know that Oprah has endorsed Obama...

Nothing more to see here...move along...
