Thank the Good Lord

Jesus, as we have mentioned in class, was not 5 foot 7 inches, and he wasn't Caucasian, literate, or clean. In fact, he was short, stinky, and was middle eastern meaning that his skin was darker. By god, if Jesus came to our country today, we would pat him down in the airport. Then when he started to profess his radical ideas of freedom, equality, and change, we would write him off as a terrorist who threatens American freedom and liberty. We would likely put him in a detainment center wherein we would torture him for information on Al-Qaeda. Americans (especially those who lived near Jesus) would finally be able to sleep at night knowing that the streets are safe from middle-eastern men who threaten the American government by talking about such scary things as equality, and power and economic reform. Thank the god lord that we are so accepting and tolerant, and thank goodness that we have the ability to think for ourselves and realize when someone is offering something good/better than what we have now.
