Jesus would not like the minimum wage.
Rick Perry says so, and that is nice to know.
We might not have known that, except for Rick.
"What would Jesus do?" WWJD?
Lord, I hope you don't have one of those bumper stickers!
What would Jesus do about Social Security?
What would Jesus do about stem cell research?
I will tell you would Jesus did not do!
Nothing in the Holy Gospels suggests that Jesus did anything
because--two thousand years later--Congress would vote.
Jesus did not walk on water because, ten thousand years earlier,
Norway and Minnesota were under a layer of ice.
Jesus didn't know anything about Libya, or the U.N.
He never answered his cell phone, or walked on water, either.
He did believe that the religious establishment was corrupt,
and that people needed to repent of their sins, and that
the days of judgment were coming very soon. Not now. Then.
He was wrong about that, of course.
Everyone has been wrong about that.
It is an old-fashioned view of the world;
three-stories, and angels and demons and hellfire.
What Jesus did believe (I am quite sure of this!)
is that anyone who had asked about minimum wage policy
must have been from some other country.
And I think Rick wants that, too.
