What if Zimmerman acted more like Christ? GZ would have been the one that died that night!
And he would have come back in three days. ;)

I have asked people who disagreed with the verdict to lay their head on the curb so I can repeatedly smash it.
Funny how I never get any takers!

Wait for my next thread .... its a DOOZY! I thank you for all your work in uncovering all these things. You literally cannot make this stuff up. Surely there must be dueling Jesus analogies out there? A WWZD vs. a WWTD kind of thing? We need to do a comparison.

What if Saint skittles had walked up and said “Hello” instead of pounding GZ’s head into the concrete?

Then George Zimmerman would be dead.

If Christ was in Zimmerman’s shoes, I’m sure that Trayvon Martin would have also beaten up that creepy ass cracker.

It’s letters like this that I like to simply put the opposite view in place almost verbatim ...
What if Trayvon Martin had approached his neighborhood watch person carrying Christs parable of the Good Samaritan in his heart?
Did Martins concept of who is my neighbor? correspond to Christs?
What if foremost in Martins mind had been Christs message of blessed are the meek, the peacemakers, the merciful?
What if he had had the courage and wisdom to remember the Bibles many admonitions to fear not and cheerfully engage Zimmerman in conversation, giving the neighbnorhood watchman a chance to show his attitude without being put on the defensive?
Two can play that game.

Why didn’t Zimmerman act more like Christ? Because he lacked Christ’s power. Otherwise he might have blinded Trayvon Martin with a flash of light, knocked him to the ground and said, “Trayvon, why do you persecute me?” (see Acts 9:4).
To: 2ndDivisionVet
He would have been falsely accused of crimes by people looking for an excuse to hate him and then he would have been crucified while leadership washed their hands of the matter.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
More importantly, Jesus’ comments reflect the actions that one should take when acting in an individual capacity. That is, one may turn the other cheek when acting for oneself, but Zimmerman was acting as a lookout for his community. He was not free to “turn the other cheek”, as he would have been if he'd been protecting only his own property.
It is important to remember that one can forgive for oneself, one can turn the other cheek for oneself, but one has no moral right to do so, if ones actions put others in danger.
