WWJD Explained

Remember “I Found It?” The latest evangelical marketing pitch is the acronymn WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? The most popular form on the street is a bead bracelet with the initials sold with a card that asks: “Gangs, Drugs, Sex?”

So what do Christians say Jesus would do? A quick scan of all the related websites and the various books devoted to the matter reveal a disturbing, unflinchingly fundamentalist consensus: that Jesus would do what he was told to do.

The article interviews several people who are Christian, but not dogmatic who suggest that people consider what Jesus really did? After all, he did go to plenty of parties.

I’d like to think that Jesus would sneak the Biotic Baking Brigade into the House Judiciary committee’s chambers, and throw the first pie at Bob Barr (R, GA)
