The person playing Alan Keyes in Barack Obama's debate-prep sessions. You know who has the hardest job in American politics right now?

To the best of my recollection, Jesus never mentioned abortion. So who are these people who know what Jesus thinks ? A quick search confirms my memory: http://www.crosswalk.com Search Results (The Holman Christian Standard Bible) Search Error Your search query for 'abortion' did not return any results. Please modify your search query and try again. ** And this is a site which could reliably be expected to find the verse, since by its own admission: "We are a for-profit religious corporation" Money-changers, anyone ? You couldn't make this stuff up. I was part of a weekly bible study group for several decades. To the best of my recollection, Jesus never mentioned abortion.

Not Syracuse.</i> Considering he only spoke ancient Hebrew, I guess he would have to take some language courses before moving to the US, if he were to choose so (spinoff: would Jesus choose to live in US?). I'd recommend the British Council. They've got a centre in Nazareth too, so it would be most convenient. Which also means, Keyes may be correct after all - if Jesus had only recently immigrated into the US, and hadn't become a citizen yet, he wouldn't be able to vote for Obama, or anyone else. Another problem is, once Jesus becomes a US citizen, would his vote count the same as any ordinary human being? does a son of a god deserve more than a ballot? if so, how many? 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, a million, all? is Jesus compatible with democracy? He'd better have some answers, next time. Where would Jesus live? Not Syracuse.

"The Passion of The Christ"? Gay bondage snuff film. Nearly every annoying crappily made intellectually masturbatory apocryphal end times movie my parents made me sit through when I was a lad involved men torturing men for some reason or another. Go look up "SIX: The Mark Unleashed", and try to watch it without laughing. Damn Christians, always with the gay bondage. “The Passion of The Christ”? Gay bondage snuff film.

Spank and Keyes in the same sentence made me think of self-hedonism first. Ah, but you missed the fun part—when Keyes says Obama is being racist for wanting to spank Keyes.
