He were around he'd be hanging out in a park blowing bubbles. He sure as hell wouldn't be at fancy dinners with rich Republicans.

Why not? He did dine with a Pharisee once.
Jesus was not politically partisan. Neither did he judge by membership.
How many hippies have gone into a church to break the tables where they sell videos, cd's and books?

Good point. He was a counter-culture radical. That is why the jews wouldn't accept him as the Messiah. They expected the Messiah to lead them, in armed uprising, against the Romans. Jesus said 'give to the Romans that which belongs to the Romans'. This could just be a metaphor for taxation, but he pointedly avoided going the way of the earlier self-proclaimed Messiahs, who all got killed by the Romans for inciting violence and working up the masses. Considering the times, place, and issues there, he did and said very little about the Romans and was kinda a 'free-love' kinda guy.

I'm not uptight, so I hope that is not going to disqualify me from your answer pool.
If I talk about Jesus, it is to people who want to hear about it, need Him desperately or to fellow believers who ask about my encounters with Him. I never force my religion or love for Christ on anyone, really.
As for being a hippie, that is not a consideration. Jesus does love all of us, does encourage peace and abhors violence.
As for acid, marijuana, open sexuality, protesting authority and elders...not a chance!
Who would admit that they stooped down to have a fancy dinner with rich Republicans when so many people are unemployed and starving in our country? Not me, not Jesus.

Yes, I point that out everytime someone asks "what did Jebus look like?" I say " A hippy-looking Mo Fo with a beard" .
And the sign said, long haired freaky jesus need not come by,
So he grabbed three nails and put up his hair, then went in to ask them why........

Many of them used to be hippys too. After their midlife crisis, their Jesus image just evolved to conform with their new self image.

actually, Jesus would do both, since both need his advice. Jesus was also a promoter of hard work...... something many hippies seem against.

I want to blow bubbles with Jesus. Then he can come over my house and share a joint with me. Blessed be.
