I don't know what to do now. I love Wild at Heart, and didn't like Braveheart.

I guess the us-vs..-them format doesn't allow for that, does it? I have to choose one side or the other, don't I?

Ok, ok. So I’m not saying this definitely happened, but what if…?
What if Jesus was a brawler? This is completely reading into the text something that most likely isn’t there, but you never know. In John 10, Jesus says that He and the Father are One, and the Jews are pretty mad. So mad, in fact, that they want to stone Him. Verse 29 says, “Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.”

So I’m thinking Jesus was Jessie Owens fast or he was pretty quick with his right. Imagine someone trying to capture Jesus and He knows that it’s not time yet. A quick punch to the face and He’s off. It’s possible, right? I’m not saying this characterizes Jesus or even that it happened… but it’s possible. Jon, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this rediculous heretical blasphemous out of context assumption.

Read Jesus for President…just do it now…you can throw me a parade later, seriously.Shaine Claiborne is like the young underdog of christian writers…dreadlocks, homemade clothes, and crazy stories of life with homeless philadelphians. like everything you ever thought was stupid about christianity in america, such as the Braveheart=Jesus equation, all rolled into one lovely Juno-esque style book. Oh and go watch the movie Juno too if you havn’t already…then feel free to throw that parade for me.

english greg,
the scot i know hates that movie. growing up learning his country’s history, then to see an american blockbuster depict it was “horrifying in its inaccuracies.”
then to have to come work in the US and right when everyone had just bought it on dvd, was a trial.
all the women thought his accent was dreamy (it is, and he’s single) and all the men wanted to talk war and revenge and scottish history nonstop.
he is a christian, but HATES the movie, especially how much americans love it.
