What Would Jesus Cut?

...because I couldn't find an image of Him with a chain saw!

Sojourners is a liberal Christian group whose mission is “to articulate the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world.’’

...Religious groups with a political agenda are as American as the First Amendment, and Sojourners has not been shy about weighing in on the current congressional fight over federal spending. On its website, in e-mails sent to members of Congress, and most recently in a full-page ad in the political newspaper Politico, Sojourners has been asking: “What Would Jesus Cut?’’

The ad, signed by Sojourners’ president, Jim Wallis, and other leaders of the Christian left, argues that “a budget is a moral document’’ and the moral test of any nation is how it treats the poor and vulnerable.

I wonder if Jesus would have funded "Piss Christ" or some of Robert Mapplethorpe's photos? How convenient for anyone to be concerned about what Jesus would cut after totally ignoring the items that he would not have spent money on in the first place!
