Poll: If Jesus ran for president, would you vote for him?

[triggrhappy94]

This is a poll I've been curious about; knowing that a good amount of the American population that'll vote for someone because of their religion or how often they say god bless America.

So, Jesus Christ returns and runs for president.
If you need to know anymore, his stances are based on biblical teachings. Love thy neighbor (ie Mexico), gays are bad, etc.

 

[lacktheknack]

Yes.

By the way, Jesus never said gays are bad. Ever. Once. And he often implied that he has an opposite view on them.

 

[Hader]

Only if he is an independent.

Even then, probably wouldn't be bothered to vote anyways.

 

[Mad World]

I definitely would. No doubt about it.

Also, the Bible doesn't teach that gays are bad; it teaches that gay acts are bad.

Outside of that, I really don't think I can fill in fictional characters in a voting ballot.

That really wasn't necessary. You're just trying to cause trouble. Obviously (even if you don't believe in Him) - for the sake of the hypothetical situation of Jesus running for president - we're saying that He is real (even though I already believe that He is real).

 

[el_kabong]

I don't know. What's his economic plan like?

 

[ZomgSharkz]

Eh, why not?

I mean it's Jesus, right?

I'm sure he could fix all kinds of things up, no problem.

 

[crudus]

Didn't Jesus die when he was 32 thus making him ineligible to be president? If not, are we talking kids style Jesus or 13 apostles Jesus?

 

[otakuoverlord]

Would he be republican? I thought yes at first but I saw a bumper sticker that was very informative about his stance on the party. Would he toe the party line like all resurrected deities when faced with decisions? Vishnu screwed that shit up in the 70's, and Amaterasu didn't fare so well during the Sarin attacks in the 90's.

Would the Vatican sponsor his campaign? I don't know if Jesus has much of a personal fortune anymore, though I suppose the accrued interest on a sandal left behind 2000 years ago might put him on stable financial ground. Maybe he could get the republicans to foot the bill?

 

[Aris Khandr]

No. This country has a separation between church and state for a reason. Religious dogma should never be the basis for secular law.

 

[otakuoverlord]

This country has separation of church and state EXACTLY for this reason, and none other. Our founding fathers were smart as hell and clairvoyant, seeing this eventuality long ago.

 

[Habaki]

GreatTeacherCAW, most historians agree on the fact that there was a man named Jesus of nazareth who lived around 0BC and was executed by the roman empire.

The sensible conflict arises when you get to the religious stuff.

And sure, I'd vote for him. Probably would have positive effects.

 

[Sandytimeman]

Jesus doesn't have enough lobbyists to fund his campaign. Plus, he wasn't even born here. I demand to see a birth certificate.

 

[fenrizz]

Yes.

By the way, Jesus never said gays are bad. Ever. Once. And he often implied that he has an opposite view on them.

Where in the bible did he imply this?

No matter, because Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost are one, so it is safe to assume that they share the same views.


Besides, I do not believe in god, so I very much doubt I'd vote for someone claiming to be the son of god.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Gesù Cristo for prez? That would be awesome! He has my vote.

You might want to double check your bible, the whole hate and murdering people thing was old testament.

To answer your question no. If Jesus was real he may be a good moral leader but not a leader of nations.

 

[sylekage]

Yes. Only if he performed all his crazy miracles. If he gave sight to a blind person I'd be sold

 

[emeraldrafael]

No. Because jesus is pure, and all politicials are crooked. So thus, either:
a) it is not jesus running
b) the fabric of reality would be torn asunder

Besides, he'd want to help EVERYONE, and you just cant do that without creating inflation, debt and ruin.

 

[j0frenzy]

I don't know. I would have to see how he campaigns, what sort of policies I was looking at. What Christ says in the Bible is generally up for interpretation by whomever is reading it, so I would relish the opportunity to hear what the man himself has to see before I would make a decision on whether I would vote for him. Also, I would like to see him accomplish that natural born citizen thing, but assuming he is Jesus, then it should be a small task for him. Kind of curious who would have the balls to run against Jesus though and what the Patriots would to with him.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Jesus was a kind, honest, loving and wise man... So he has no place in American politics. Yeah, I'd vote for him.

I'd love to see what the other guy running would do. Try running a smear capaign against freakin' JESUS?
