The Warthog

The warthog doesn't look at me,
To him, I'm ugly as can be.
I look at him and think the same
But neither of us are to blame.
We're ugly in each other's eyes
No wonder we can't hybridize!

How would Jesus vote? Question in New Scientist.

Now there is an interesting question. (They are referring to the coming American election.)

Jesus would not have had a vote in his time, as he was not a Roman citizen. But he would have paid taxes if required. "Render unto Caesar" as he said.

So that is "taxation without representation", disapproved of by Americans.

But suppose he could vote in the coming election? which party would he choose?
Arguments could be made for either side. But my guess is that he would ignore narrow religious ideas and choose the party that would do more for the general welfare of the poor and needy.

But where would he stand on the moral questions that perplex modern people?
e.g. gay marriage, abortion, the death penalty, slavery etc.

And the big question, war. He came to bring "not peace but a sword".
Would he have considered the war against Hitler justified?
And what of the coming conflict with the Moslem world?

Who might get his vote in the coming New Zealand election?

I suppose it would depend on whether he was voting as a human, or as the Son of God.

Perhaps we should also ask who Satan would be voting for!

Silly story again

Two hunters found two bears, peacefully feeding and ignoring them.

One hunter was surprised to see his mate creeping up behind a bear with a roll of banknotes in his hand.

"What on earth are you doing?" he asked.

"My broker advised me to put my money in Bear Stearns" said his mate.
