I sometimes have anger issues. Usually, I try to work skilfully with it. Something I've never done before, though, is think "what would Jesus do?" So I thought I'd rectify that...

So first up appears to be "cleansing the temple":

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021%3A12-16&version=NASB

Maybe a noble sentiment? Maybe. I'll hold off... what else is there? Ah, I see that he got angry with a fig tree for not having any fruits:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2011:12-25&version=NIV

and the tree wasn't even in season?

Dude.

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 21:12-16 - New American Standard Bible

Cleansing the Temple - And Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those who were selling and buying on the temple grounds, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And He *said to them, “It is written: ‘MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a DEN OF ROBBERS.” And those who were blind and those who limped came to Him in the temple area, and He healed them. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became indignant, and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘FROM THE MOUTHS OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIES YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF’?”

#Lyrics :

If Jesus Christ came back today
Like you threaten he will
Which poor group of people
Do you think that he would kill
Who would Jesus choose to starve
If you gave him the chance
And if there was a genocide
Would he take a neutral stance
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would he say "it's complicated
There's sinners on all sides"
Or would he say that some people
They just deserve to die
If Christ the Savior rose again
Then on a sidewalk slept
Would you extend a hand to him
Or just watch where you stepped

Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
The Queer folks or the Trans
Would he suggest they end their lives
According to God's plans
Would Jesus tell the homeless man
To get a f*cking job
Or turn his back on the poor
Would Jesus be a snob
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"

Would Jesus Vote Republican
Or would it be democrat
Would he be chanting 4 more years
Or wear a MAGA hat
Would Jesus run for president
Or dictator or worse
Would Jesus be the pastor
Of his own mega church
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus build a border wall
Would Jesus drive a tank
Would Jesus own an arsenal
Would Jesus run a bank
Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
If he came to your town
Would you believe in Jesus still
If Jesus Christ was brown
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"

"What would Jesus do" #wwjd - ein Meme, das im christlich-fundamentalistischen Kontext sehr verbreitet ist. Hier sehr treffend aufgegriffen von den #rainbowgirls: "Who would Jesus bomb" #wwjb - In diesem Sinne: Schöne Ostertage euch allen, was auch immer ihr glaubt! 😉 🐰 🥚 https://buff.ly/3vnwmmI

The Pope says that God does not justify war. That is good. Maybe he should issue a papal edict to all followers to resign from military forces.

God also does not justify dungeons to chain and whip people, horses to rip human bodies into four pieces, and hot tongs to apply to their breasts, to convert them to catholicism.

'coz the times, they are a'changin'

What are your thoughts?

What would Thomas Jefferson think? What would President Jefferson do? He gazes across the Tidal Basin at every White House & temporary steward of our constitutional republic he helped found more than two centuries ago. I imagine he would be disappointed in our fellow Americans & Congress. #WWJD
