How much did Jesus charge for curing the poor and afflicted?
Did he use an agent or a middleman?

Did he deny care to those he deemed unworthy or too demanding of his gifts?

Where did Jesus preach the good of corporate profit?

Just wondering how we, as a Christian nation (or so I'm constantly told), got to here from there.

6. If you had to ask, you couldn't afford it.
:sarcasm:

Actually, it was the Galilean Medical Association who paid for the "Herod and Louise" ads that cost him the Red Sea States.

11. the same that we charge
someone who is in dire straits. I'm glad I work for the Foundation! I just wish we could heal folks and never have to charge anyone for anything.

12. 100 sheckels
or a 20 sheckel co-pay if you were on Sacred Virgin HMO, or a 10 sheckel copay for the PPO. Judas was the CEO of Sacred Virgin LLC

;)

13. Thanks for all the funny/snarky comments folks. Series, I enjoy your humor.
Just thought this might be a good way to argue our case since our opponents all claim to by highly religious yet consistently fail to back that up with anything resembling Christian acts, thoughts or deeds.

16. Jesus only cured those God deemed worthy, the rest got by on unanswered prayers.

Or were forced into leper colonies/ghettos so others wouldn't have to look at them. Sounds sorta like what we have now, so no thanks.

17. He demanded THEIR IMMORTAL SOUL! Muhahaha!
Edited on Thu Jul-09-09 04:51 PM by Ian David
Actually, I think he cured people even before they'd pledged to follow him.

Not that Jesus wouldn't have killed Lazarus if he'd dissed him, right?

19. Thanks Ian. Your response really busted up my (non-practicing, recovering Catholic) S.O.
The politicians extra-Christian-family values-pro-life hypocrisy (their platform vs. their actions) slays us every time. M$M news is a laugh-fest in our houses.

22. Meaningless question
since you're talking about a fairy tale. Might as well ask how much Jesus charged for fiodaling the snicketeree.

24. It's not Yiddish at all
It's Russian.

"Clueless" is asking a question about Jesus as though he were a real, historical figure.
