Who would Jesus bomb?

This seems to have become the latest trope of the antiwar left. It's hilarious cuz you know Jesus didn't go around killing people. And those warmongers sure are hypocrites. Or maybe they're too stoopid to know that their so-called savior advocated turning the other cheek. Anyway, we sure showed them. Hoist with their own petard. Yada, yada, yada.

Have these people ever even met any Christians? It reminds me of mythical stories I heard as a kid in which a Jew goes to some little hick town, reveals his religion and the local yokels ask to see his horns. Only now the hicks are the oh-so sophisticated members of the ruling elite.

Maybe Morgan Spurlock can do a documentary in which a couple from Manhattan, or a pair of academics, moves in with an evangelical Christian family in the deep south for 30 days. They could observe their interesting mores and folkways. Maybe even see the whole family speaking in tongues. Probably happens every day before breakfast.
