When used at DU it frequently asks the xians to explain how Jesus would deal with a particular situation, knowing they don't give a shit what Jesus would do.

how they're supposed to behave. When tempted to do something wrong, or unsure of the right thing to do. they are taught to consider,
"What would Jesus do?" aka WWJD.

During the Bush Jr years, people used to joke about What would Jenna do.

Unlike so many of today's Christians, the ones in the book found that asking themselves "what would Jesus do?" led them to be more loving and kind toward others and making more ethical decisions.

What Would Jesus Do?
WWJD is often posted to "signal." Like a gold cross necklace, it conveys a message

What Would Jesus Do is the exception.

It's always a valid question for Christians to ask themselves. The cartoon is spot-on because Rethuglicans clearly never ask the question.

one thing Jesus wouldn't do is go across six lanes of traffic without using a turn signal to cut in front of me and exit!

THEN come and follow me!'


Obviously some 'WOKE Socialist-Communist' !!!


Christian Republicans take whatever quotes they like best from the Bible,
and ignore the rest.

And the hardcore maggots mostly can't quote ANYTHING from it.

Not that I buy into the whole Judas Jesus thing. But it's a very strong cartoon.
