I suspect most of these people are Biblicaly illiterate. The gospels do not portray Jesus as a community organizer at all. In fact that is just about the opposite of what he did.

He preached and taught, healed the sick and raised the dead. He told them of the good news. He claimed to be the Son of God and the Son of Man. He was concerned with the afterlife, and hardly concerned at all about present politics, government etc. He did say pay your taxes and obey the government as much as you can.

listen, i am not religious, but it sure seems to me that playing the obama=jesus card is only going to piss of every religious person in the country, no?

...but i do agree it will lock in susan sarandon, michael moore, barbra streisand, etc

It's been awhile since I read the bible, but the only community organizing Jesus ever did was to tell the disciples to have the crowd sit down in "companies of ten" when he performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes."

Pontius Pilate would have been an apointee of the Roman Caesar or whatever his underlings were called, not an elected governor. So the comparison is not analogous to Sarah.

It's getting absurd. They started it. Neither McCain nor Sarah mentioned any scriptures or religion in the positions as nominees that I can recall. Obama has brought it up a few times with his version.
