What I doubt Jesus would be doing...
1. Lobbying congress to deny people the right to marry.
2. Picketing funerals.
3. Blowing up abortion clinics.
4. Arguing with people about who they love.
5. Legislating anything.
6. Threatening anyone.
7. Posting on a message board telling people what a sin is and isn't.
Last I heard, the main message is God Is Love.
Why do most Christians get a bad rap ?
They forgot this message so long ago, they couldn't define it or live it to save their lives. Not to mention their souls.

EXACTLY!!!! Jane Fonda addresses this in her book as well - she says something to the effect of the men in power today who lean so heavily on their religion and faith would be the first to call Jesus "soft" and persecute him if he were alive today because he so does not personify anything that the people in power display.
So you made an excellent point above!!!
