There is a connection between Bernie Sanders and Jesus. From my Facebook today.
Bernie was my mayor when I lived in Burlington, VT years ago. Love Bernie
Also between Babe Ruth and Colonel Sanders
They were both born Jewish.
@sassygirl3869 Please help me understand the "religion gene" and why no other religion has it.
I worked for his campaign, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Pope Frank called Bernie the most Christian of all the candidates for POTUS. Ha!
Well he halfway right. The NT Jesus certainly portayed in this way. Trouble is it is all fiction.
1st Century Jews certainly resented their financial plight. They had to pay taxes to Rome and pay a Temple tax as well as go to Jerusalem as a pilgrimage on passover to sacrifice at the Temple. This inlvolved buying sacrficial animals from approved vendors. You also had to pay fot your sacrifice in Temple money, not every day money .So you had "money exchangers" not "money lenders" in the Temple...an often misunderstood point.
2 points to make here;
Stifled? I'd be more inclined to see it as becoming a mouth piece for them.
I have never seen Jesus and Bernie in the same room. Just saying.
LOL ... me either!
And if Bernie Had been elected, congress would have crucified him....he would have wound up having his great ideas made to look like failures. I think congress needs to evolve before our presidency can support a Bernie Sanders...wonder who is judas was....the DNC?...hehe
This Congress wasn't going to work with anyone not twice as conservative as Reagan was.
@macrobius I have been keeping track. I was hoping for a backlash. After Obama was elected, he got slammed with a republican congress, and changed his political stance, as he put it, "The people have spoken and I hear you." I am hoping for a crippling of the trumpling agenda.
