...whether Jesus would be happy.

I'm a free-thinker. Not a Christian. But that still makes me a believer. In a single god. And hey, I like Christians. Especially the liberal ones. As for Jesus, some professors at Christian seminaries share my views -- that Jesus probably would endorse socialized medicine and the narrowing of the gap between the rich and poor. I’ve attended a seminary. A liberal seminary. Where ’liberal’ and ‘socialism’ aren’t dirty words. One thing I like about Christianity is that it has liberal and conservative camps. And a whole lot in between. Although I'd fit most comfortably in the liberal camp, I still have respect for the conservatives. I enjoy debates between liberal and conservative Christians. Especially speculation over whether Jesus would be happy with the state of modern Christianity. --Jim
