Quarterly Quote of the Month about Jesus for this Week

Portrait by Luca Del Baldo

In his 2000 electoral campaign, President Bush named the most important person in his life as being Jesus Christ. Now he has a unique chance to prove that he was serious: for him, as for all Americans today, 'Love thy neighbour!' means 'Love the Muslims!', or it means nothing at all.

  1. Even stronger, and even less followed: " love your enemy."

    Odd to say, Jesus and Nietzsche end up on the same page.

  2. Has anyone else ever noticed any other biblical passages that seem to suggest a dark, or possibly Nietzschean side to God or Jesus?

    Like say the moment God says he set out "evil spirits" and even bad laws and commandments, to confuse some people.
