Did He Say That?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I think I hear a peace song!

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One, Forgiving One,

We Christians are much harsher on ourselves and one another than you will ever be. This is one thing Jesus taught that causes me to believe that he was a manifestation of you, for me even the fullest manifestation of who you are. I pity those who are so certain that you require judgment and condemnation for our misdeeds. No wonder they seem so full of guilt and worried by sin. I wonder if any of them could be convinced that they should worry more about how they slander your holy name with the way they portray your character. A bit of an irony in that, isn’t there? But then, I would characterize you, in part, as one who likes irony.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Le Roi, c’est moi!”

[Just kidding. He never said that – in any language.]
