And What if Jesus Were in the White House?<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are just a few policy examples at this site – I liked it:<\/p>\n

Punishment<\/strong>
John 8:
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?<\/p>\n

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.<\/p>\n

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.<\/p>\n

Universal Health Care<\/strong>
Matthew 10:
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.<\/p>\n

Prayer in Public Schools<\/strong>:
Matthew 6:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.<\/p>\n

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.<\/p>\n

Oil Executives Running Foreign Policy, Tax Cuts for the Rich, Lucrative No-Bid Contracts for Cronies, Logging and Mining Execs Writing Environmental Regs, ad nauseam<\/strong>
Matthew 19:
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.<\/p>\n

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(my addition: but don’t forget that with God, all things are possible)<\/p>\n

Tax Cuts Cure Everything<\/strong>
Luke 20:
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.<\/p>\n

Social Programs<\/strong>
Luke 18:
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.<\/p>\n

War in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Whoever Is Next<\/strong>
Matthew 5:
