    Was Jesus “hard?” Not from what I’ve read. He was a kind, gentle, caring soul who avoided confrontation, never harmed anyone, and preach forgiveness, compassion, and love.

    The right wing and their obsession over “manliness” is so pathetic.

      Americans got such a hard on because he “said” something like: trade your tunic for a sword and interpret that as “jesus told me to get some guns”
