Three Simple Rules:

Rabbi Hillel, who lived around the time of Jesus was approached by a pagan saying that he would convert to Judaism if Hillel could teach him the whole of the Torah in the time he could stand on one foot. Rabbi Hillel replied, "What is hateful to yourself, do not do to your fellow man. That is the whole Torah; the rest is just commentary. Go and study it."

Talmud Shabbat 31a

"...And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."

Mark 12:28-31

"Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have all been called by different names brethren of the same principle..."

Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, 1801

The Christian Left: Yes, we exist.

"...Did the thief on the cross have a “correct doctrine?” Of course he didn’t. He had not studied the sacred texts and formed the correct conclusions. He knew nothing of what was said in the sacred texts. And yet Jesus promised that he would be in Heaven with him that very day. Why? Because he had a kind and gentle heart and a merciful spirit and he defended a man he didn’t ever know while he suffered in agony himself. He called Jesus Lord and asked that he remember him when he entered his Kingdom, but not having been exposed to “correct Doctrine” he was speaking from his heart, nothing else. Furthermore, he had not been baptized.

Did Jesus make a special exception for the thief on the cross? No. That would contradict the many passages in the Bible where it states that God is no respecter of persons and he does not show favoritism...

...We must pray for those who have made “correct doctrine” their idol. They miss the spirit and meaning of what scripture says and instead worship the Bible itself. They are unable to see what God is saying between the lines of ink."

"...maybe your Jesus and my Jesus are just that different.

Maybe your Jesus is good with deporting immigrants.

Maybe your Jesus celebrates the poor staying poor.

Maybe your Jesus is fine with affairs with porn stars.

Maybe your Jesus is totally cool with supremacist Cabinet members.

Maybe your Jesus amens the banning and the wall-building.

Maybe your Jesus sanctions the fear of brown people.

Maybe your Jesus is pleased with sick people going broke trying to not die.

Maybe your Jesus applauds the racism and the bitterness and the cruelty..."

"...If that is your Jesus, ----then know you are evangelizing brilliantly right now.

You are spreading the Gospel of that Jesus exponentially.

You are a powerful preacher of that Jesus to the watching world.

But for my money, that Jesus is the reason so many people want nothing to do with Christianity anymore.

It’s why the Church is hemorrhaging.

It’s why the pews are emptying.

It’s why people run from Christians."

...............JOHN PAVLOVITZ

Whenever I'm in a conversation about compassion, justice, non-competitive sports, victims rights, class basketball, there occasionally emerges some macho neanderthal mentality from someone, not always men, that its about 'survival of the fittest'. The way its supposed to be: wits and strength, the strong survive, etc.
But what immediately runs through my mind when I here these arguments are four questions:
ONE: In the wild, just strength and wit, where does this person stand in the food chain?
TWO: In a bare handed encounter between this person and a bear who would win?
THREE: Could I outwit or kick this person's butt?
FOUR: In a three way encounter, this guy, a bear and me, who can run the fastest?
Most the time I feel me and the bear are safe.
