Union President: Jesus Was A Community Organizer

He said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was more "Tonto" than "Maverick," and in a riff on community organizers -- defending them from attacks from Republicans seeking to belittle Obama's first job -- he said that he, Martin Luther King, Jr., and other notables were all community organizers.

"Jesus was a community organizer," Roberts said.

Cute article except for the picture, Jesus was black or very dark at the least. Certainly not blond haired and blue eyed. Even the Byzantines did not show him as Germanic.

And also, have anyone considered that Jesus was promoted only because of nepotism, i.e. if Jesus had not been the Son of God, he would not be sitting at God's right hand and be Lord and Master of the Universe. One wonders if he would have gotten the job if it had been competative.

"have anyone considered that Jesus was promoted only because of nepotism"

Interesting viewpoint. I can honestly say I've never considered it....nor have I ever heard or read anything concerning Jesus and nepotism.

BTW: Very funny!! ; )

He also cared about the poor and the downtrodden, but many fundie X-ians are only interested in the armor-wearing, weapon-carrying JC of the Final Judgment.
