No, the point is that you as a Christian decide WWJD, preach about it, pat yourself on the back for it, condemn the unbelievers for not doing it, and then turn around and do the opposite. That's what I've been pointing out. In the irony, the unbelievers are often more willing to do what you originally said Jesus taught than the believers are, even though the unbelievers aren't doing it on Jesus's authority, but on a shared convergence of principles that occurs in certain cases. Jesus was pro animal sacrifice and so he and I are definitely going to disagree on how to treat a dog.

Since I don't believe in Jesus WWJD is immaterial to me.

You are a Christian, Whiskey. However, You're what is known as a monster truck Christian. You don't believe in the original version of Christianity that said we should help poor people. You believe in the reimagined version where we're supposed to kill poor people, according to Fox news. And not because you personally want to kill people, but you want to support those who do because you see them as victims of those like me who called them out for their hypocrisy.

But you do believe in WWJD if you believe that we are better at doing WWJD than Christians. Right?

Oh, also, F you, Gad. Try not lying. K?

If Jesus only had a shotgun or a 9mm, just think how awesome the New Testament would have been. Right Hooch? Imagine the Resurrection where a strapped Jesus rolls away the stone, steps out, and says, "I’m back bitches, and I’ve got a long list of dogs and other animals that didn't obey me enough during the first half of the book."

I believe in pointing out significant moral inconsistencies. WWJD would fall under that general category for those who proclaim Jesus as their moral authority. I'd say what would Buddha do if it were Buddhists being hypocritical. But, it's immaterial whether I am personally following the principle in question. I would still point out the discrepancy even if it's not something I follow. Case in point, now and again MG gets teased for breaking the commandments and drinking tea. I drink tea any time I want, which isn't very often. But I'd give him a hard time for it because his rules he boasts as the highest unmitigated truth in the universe tells him not to.

Using your terminology, you keep "lying" and saying that I think I'm doing better than all these Christians I'm condemning, which isn't true. Nowhere have I said I do more to help poor people than the Mormons of Kaysville.

Seems like the question of WWJD has a pretty straightforward answer. I’m willing to go on record as guessing that the Biblical Jesus would not argue against allowing freezing homeless folks to hang out in a giant shed within an industrial park in order to stay warm simply because that shed was within several hundred yards of a residential neighborhood.

Wanger, you should put your guard down a bit and read the Gospel According to Jesus Christ.

While you think you are being clever about what I think or shooting dogs, the concept of Jesus as a dude has been explored in controversial detail. The book won a Nobel.

Well, honestly and frankly, if this Jesus dude was real and he came across a bitch like you, I think he would mock the crap out of you or punch you in the goddamn mouth.

That is some special high ground you got there, Gaddy. You get to decide what someone else thinks Jesus thinks and then compare what you think they do or will do to what they think Jesus thinks and then decide if they are a hypocrite. Go for it, man. Have fun. And while you are at it, put me in the winner and righteous group like you, okay?

WWJD, then, Binger?

Can you cut to the chase already, or is this another case of ‘cat got your tongue’?

Long thread to diss some Kaysville residents and by implication the LDS church and/or the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
