My sense from hearing and reading what left wingers say about Jesus is that His character of love washes over everything and makes just about everything okay. True, God does love us. But we are not the only thing He loves. He also loves justice and righteousness- two measures by which we all fall short.

Most of the left wingers also appear to have a problem with Jesus' claim to deity and a BIG PROBLEM with His exclusive claim to being the only pathway to God. That registers way off their "tolerance meter." They'd rather spend their time spouting bumper sticker slogans like "Jesus was a liberal" or "Jesus was a socialist." Note the use of the past tense "was" for a person who is still alive. :-)

No kidding. If they met Him in person, they'd probably consider Him as just another male, patriarchal, xenophobic, intolerant, right-wing fundamentalist.
