What Would Jesus Eat?

I don't think Jesus liked figs, so he probably wouldn't eat them. I also think that Jesus would not eat apples. I think that Jesus would like to chow down on one of the two versions of Pope Francis molded in mozzarella, one hatted and one without.

Others think differently:

Diet Like Jesus: What the Bible Says About How to Eat

On last week’s 700 Club, Pat Robertson announced that low-carb diets “violate the principles that God set down.” Finally, something Pat Robertson and I can agree on. According to Robertson—not a registered dietician—low carb diets “build up clinkers” and “you get swollen joints, you get gout.”  The principle behind this, he adds, is that “carbs are the fire that burn everything completely.” Like napalm or the wrath of God, but for your digestive system.

Most recently a new fad diet (or diet trend) has come to my attention: "What Would Jesus Eat." As with all fad diets there is promise of quick weight loss and reduced physical signs of disease.  However, this diet may actually have some basis of truth.

Chuck Norris asks, 'What would Jesus eat?'

You may ask yourself: Which is more important? What would Jesus do? OR What would Jesus eat? I don't know.

Some internet searchers get very specific about what Jesus might eat. They want to know what he would eat for breakfast, or what he would eat today, or what he would eat for Easter.

I don't understand this curiosity. Since Jesus is God, he doesn't need to eat.

I do know that it's really weird that Catholics eat Jesus.

The Haunting

From Commentary: Wright issue will haunt conservative media elite by Roland S. Martin:

Now that Wright has set the so-called standard for what isn't acceptable for religious leaders, let's see these same critics take their own kind to task for making absolutely outlandish comments.

But don't stop there. Demand that candidates don't seek counsel from them. Demand that Republican candidates not go to their churches and sit in their pews and accept their contributions. And if elected, make sure those same candidates don't allow them access to the White House or halls of Congress. Turnabout is fair play, and that means guys like the Revs. Pat Robertson and John Hagee should not be sought out for their endorsements, and should be removed from any committees associated with a candidate or a political party.

It would be nice if all of this were to happen, but I don’t think it will. I believe that Wrightgate is more about race than anything else. Painting Jeremiah Wright as a crazy anti-white black man is exactly what the followers of Pat Robertson and John Hagee are looking for. Facts and reason mean nothing to them. It is all about belief. And some of them believe that a black President will seek revenge on the white population and they are trying to use Wrightgate as their “proof.” The idea of a black President haunts them.

Pat Robertson and John Hagee got where they are today by saying crazy things. That is why they are so popular. Believing crazy things is the name of the game for their followers. To them what Robertson and Hagee say is not crazy, they actually believe it.

Robertson, Hagee, and Wright are all religious leaders who have said some crazy things. The only difference is that Wright is black.
