A phrase most often seen on bumper stickers and t-shirts, it is a variation of the often heard "What Would Jesus Do?" slogan.
The phrase points out the obvious hypocrisy of Christians who support wars, particularly those wars that
bomb innocent civilians and create a great deal of collateral damage.
The
logic works as follows;
1) Jesus was a pacifist, and taught his followers to be as such. ("turn the other cheek," "
love thy enemy," etc.)
2)Christians live by the teachings of Christ.
3)Many, though not all, Christians are the first to support the invasion of other countries, and are, therefore, not acting in a pacifist manner.
4)These Christians are in direct contradiction of the teaching's of Jesus.
5)These Christians (the war mongering Christians) are hypocrites.
In a word, the
rejection of
war-mongering Christian Conservatism.
Pat Robertson is driving behind a
hippie, and see's a bumper sticking asking, "Who Would Jesus
Bomb?" Mr. Robertson immediately realizes that he has been in contradiction of his most profound religious beliefs (
Christianity) and drives into a wall in shame.
