Do you think Christ would run a better government than man?

Answer 1

Ofcourse... For sure he wouldn't be promoting war.

Answer 2

It does not appear so; and America’s Founding Fathers certainly did not think so. That is the reason they created the first 100% secular government in human history.

Up until that time, every other government had been run, either directly or indirectly, by that nation’s dominant religion. The Founding Fathers recognized that religion was always the oppressor and never the liberator of mankind, and that it always supported the despot and always opposed (frequently with brutal and inhumane force) freedom and liberty.

They therefore totally excluded God, Jesus, and Christianity from the US Constitution. Article VI states that those who represent the people must swear an oath to the Constitution and the law of man (not the law of any God) and that a person’s religion (or absence of religion) could not be a qualification for government service.

Their intention was further confirmed in 1797, when the US Congress unanimously passed, and President John Adams signed into law, the following as part of a treaty:

 “As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion…”

Answer 3

I don't think Christ would want anything to do with government. Christ wasn't about power (I've read his book). He was about love and peace but he was also about you doing it for yourself. If you believe the bible litterally then Christ could create bread out of nothing, heal the sick and come back to life....if he'd wanted power on earth he could have taken it. I think that Christ was about ideas....I can see him saying "this is what I believe to be true....if you agree then what can you do with that idea in your own life."

Answer 4

No. Jesus was a wanderer and a Prophet, but he was NOT a leader. He only had about a dozen followers in his whole life. While his breathen were working and contributing to society, he was walking around spreading his ideas. Good ideas as they were, he was not exactly a responsible person.

Put it into context with today's times. Would you elect a peace loving, long-haired hippie with a big shaggy beard who never had a job to lead the free world? Just because someone has some pretty nifty ideas doesn't make them a leader, and Jesus was not a leader.

Answer 5

Jesus was/is a liberal. He cares for the poor, the weak and the sick. He said it would be easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven...so

YES, Jesus would be a great leader for the people. He would offer real opportunities, hope and justice for the working class and poor.

and

the corporations that own our government and our media would have Jesus murdered before he served his first day in office.

PS. George Bush keeps yammering on about how Jesus is his inspiration....but I have not seen a single act , not one single act by King Bush that Jesus would approve of. I think Jesus would vomit on George Bush were they to meet.

Answer 6

Christ would run a much better government, but you neo-con christian conservatives would probably assassinate him after he legalized gay marriage, helped the homeless, and increased taxes to the wealthy to help the poor.

Answer 7

Yes. I believe the government would run fine. However the people wouldn't be happy - too many religious fanatics (of every religion and belief) would ruin it for everyone.

Answer 8

Well, I suspect so, but all those right wing idiots who think god is on their side would have a rude slap in the face when Jesus snubbed them at parties. Oh, and I bet he would outlaw all those nasty vile crosses that his followers put everywhere to.

Answer 9

Render unto Caeser. No he would stick with strictly spiritual and religious matters and leave governing to others.

Answer 10

Obviously yes. I have never read in the Bible where Christ did something for himself, or had his own agenda...
