The discussion centers on how Jesus would approach the selection of a U.S. Supreme Court justice, emphasizing a non-partisan, compassionate leadership style rather than the aggressive tactics often associated with contemporary religious conservatives. Participants argue that Jesus valued free will and did not impose his beliefs, suggesting he would choose a justice based on qualities like understanding and vision for the future. There is criticism of the current political climate, where religious beliefs are perceived to be forced onto others, diverging from Jesus' teachings of love and acceptance. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of mixing religion with politics, highlighting the need for a separation of church and state. Ultimately, the thread calls for a more thoughtful and inclusive approach to judicial appointments, reflecting the values attributed to Jesus.

Discussion delves into History, into modern Physics.

My thread and question raises a key discussion regarding “historical Christian writings,” faith, and leadership - and perhaps their overzealous interpretation and adoption by key Christian organizations today. I am concerned that some of these organizations ABUSE their powers of influence over followers in a manner inconsistent with Jesus’ teachings.

I seek “supporting reasoning” from Christian conservatives who hold the view that a new Supreme Court should be shaped so as to overturn Roe v. Wade, and mandate new list of “religious values” for ALL Americans to live by.

As for the modern “physics” implication of my question, it raises the principle of “cause and effect,” that thoughts, spoken words, and actions are ALL forms of energy, which once set in motion - traverse the universe until they are absorbed by their intended target(s) – where these as inanimate objects and life-forms react and subsequently respond to the energy. Positive energies tend to initiate positive responses, and negative energies tend to solicit negative responses and actions. In building inanimate objects, things, relationships, and organizations – you plan, plan, then enact those plans. You try NOT to senselessly or recklessly throw around energy.

In crafting this discussion, I have set positive logical thought and energy in motion with the intent of soliciting those in the U.S., on the receiving end – to THINK – and that maybe, just maybe, my energy might bring about a more positive and healthful direction for this country. Logic seems to be running in short supply!

Unfortunately this just isn't turning into a productive discussion.

In short, “How might Jesus select a justice to the U.S. Supreme Court?”

I think it is obvious he'd pick me. Unless he saves me for the job of president :smile:
