Imagine being responsible for hurting so many people and turning around and think you're a good Christian quoting Bible crap. I wish Jesus was real and coming soon, so he could slap you in the face. This is not what he meant (or the writers of what he said about loving each other, anyway).

If Jesus was real and did come back we'd probably never know because he would get deported and die in a Salvadorian torture prison.

Imagine the irony if Bethlehem is his set spawning point and every time he tries to return he ends up getting murdered by Israel before he can form a coherent sentence.

No, JESUS. You know, white Jesus.
