A long-haired, brown-skinned, jobless, homeless middle-eastern Jewish man comes into town.

He does not own any personal property beyond the clothes he is wearing.
He is pro-peace, anti-war, anti-death penalty.
He is anti-capitalism, anti-death penalty, anti-public prayer.
He does not claim to be anti-gay or anti-choice.

What would people think?

He spends a lot of time in the company of common criminals, blue-collar workers and those considered too "sick" to be accepted by good folks.
One of his close confidants is a prostitute.

What would people think?

He helps those in need wherever he goes, but never charges a fee for his services.
He tends to the inflicted, but never asks for a co-pay.
He claims the wealthy can not go to Heaven.

What would people think?

This man is Jesus Christ. A peaceful, radical, non-violent revolutionary.
Jesus was the most liberal, socialist character in the history of spirituality or literature.

Something to think about: An estimated 45,000 Americans will die this year for no other reason than they could not afford health care. Good Christians do not deny care to the sick.

Something to think about the next time you feel a need to go protest in favor of the insurance company that refused to cover your spouse or child for a "pre-existing condition."

Something to think about the next time you feel a need to go protest in favor of the insurance company that dropped you when you lost your job.
