I don't think Jesus would approve of organized religion in general.
Its like asking me if I approve of the Nazis making the Jews wear armbands. Kinda missing the mark...

he threw them out because they were doing something wrong. Jesus was concerned about right and wrong. as far as what the pope wears, I believe Jesus would be far more concerned with whether or not he was an honest man then how he dressed.
Being tolerant doesn't mean you should tolerate people taking advantage of and exploiting the poor so they can get richer. Jesus was tolerant in the sense that he didn't care what someone's social status was or what their faults were, or what they had done in the past, only whether they were willing to leave their old ways behind and follow The Way that he was preaching.

Probably not too far removed from the temple priests, wearing head gear, semi-precious jeweled 'ephod' breast plate, you know, like the officiating Nazi anthropologist in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Iesous was opposed to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, the unbelief in Resurrection by the Saducees, and the money-lenders providing shekels for those who wanted to buy doves, lambs, and goats for various blood sacrifices. But it would seem that he respected the religious traditions that had developed from the time of Moses. Of course, there is no archeological evidence for and Exodus of Hebrews to be found in Egypt, so possibly Iesous himself was influenced by the same myths that Jews and Christians still accept as being historical. That could mean that Iesous was right about what his ultimate nature was, his Being (and ours!), but his mind could be filled with the same human misunderstandings of the sacred stories that people have today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephod

Do you believe in any of the miracles described in the Bible markos? what about healing the sick and casting out demons and why does the Bible say thart we ourselves, should develop those abilities if we follow Christ correctly?

The Saducees simply weren't about the Resurrection. They were the more conservative Jews, and obviously, the more materialistic. The Pharisees, which were upbraided for their pride, nevertheless upheld the idea of Resurrection noted in Daniel. But be advised that this passage has several possible interpretations, with a general resurrection of the dead being only one. Christians, or non-Jews, more specifically, see the word Resurrection and they immediately interpret it through Chritian teachings, never considering that for pre-Christian Jews, the Christianized version didn't exist yet. http://www.preteristcentral.com/The%20General%20Resurrection%20and%20the%20Book%20of%20Daniel.html
“And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at the time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:1-2).
Nobody can presume to say how Iesous understood anything about the scriptures, however, I am fairly certain that he understood the notion of PRDS, unlike today's fucktard fundamentalist literalists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardes_(Jewish_exegesis) So look at this Wiki article to help answer your question.
As for the miracle stories, I've posted this book repeatedly, and you'll have to read the book Christ in Egypt by D.M. Murdock to be convinced, or not, that the selected stories of miracles in the NT were lifted almost verbatim from the Coffin and Pyramid Texts of the Egyptians. The raising of Lazarus makes a whole lot more sense when one realizes that the cloth-wrapped Lazarus standing outside the tomb is both a reference to the Easter Resurrection as well as a descriptive reference to Osiris, Lord of Resurrection, well known back then. Osiris is the Greek name for Asar or Azar (whose wife Isis' name in Egyptian is Auset). Lazarus is L'azar, or 'of Azar,' or 'of Osiris,' etymologically, referring to Resurrection. But you'd have to see the many documentations of this sort to better understand.

I think the real question is WWJS about the fucking Federal Government of the US. I mean the US is God's country and the Feds should work for free.

But seriously I think historical Jesus looked more like this:

I think Jesus looked sort of like Johnny Cash and wore all black. His wore his frown like a shroud and walked like he was on a cloud. He smoked dope when it was given, and drank flagons of beer. He wasn't uptight - people called his chick a whore and they still call her that. He didn't care one whit. He swung both ways. The Son of God can fuck who and how he wants. Don't tell me this is blasphemy. You are blasphemy saying only the chosen few get to
ah neverthefuckmind one thing never changes - for all their intelligence people are fucking dense.

People all think alike. What is different is the constitution of their thoughts. People base their efforts on their own perspective thinking they are different, but in reality they are the same. Each religion props zealots. So what they fight, torture, main, kill, and so on for an inner vision, each one is essentially the same with merely (and this is how this relates to the thread topic) different dress.
What is not changing is that people dress. What is changing is the dress. Someone who didn't have a temporal experience of fashion wouldn't care what the getup. They would see dress as functional rather than as definitive of ones inner or outer status because after all we all feed maggots, and we all age and shrink and get lined and weak.
Fashion, including that of the Pope is merely the dressing on a Poboy sandwich. I believe Jesus would have said, a huge Poboy stands as much chance of passing my lips as a Camel through the eye of a needle. If ye would enter the belly of The Son ye should slim it down a good bit or I will spit ye out and drinketh my Coke instead.

Really? I'd suspect some of his close advisors are secretly atheist, but the Pope himself probably believes what he says IMO. It'd take one hell of a split personality to outwardly devote your life to a cause you don't believe in at all.

Good point, and relevant as the same 'money changers' are still deceiving the rest of humanity

Probably mind his own business and let humanity do it's thing. That's what I'm doing and I highly recommend it.

If you read the Apocrypha then you know Jesus wasn't a nice, egoless spiritual teacher. He was a God-man with a huge ego and he liked to prove it. I doubt the Jesus of the Apocrypha would have been a pretty hippie and would more have been the Marlon Brando Apocalypse Now.

I went through a huge breakup with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi about 15 years ago. I realize I hated him and everything he stood for. At the same time I had had really good experiences with his meditation. I then got into Tibetan Buddhism for about ten years and really loved Dzogchen. I spend a few years with a Dzogchen guru as a drinking buddy. I thought I was soooo cool. I really love Dzogchen but this guru was a real average person. And nobody you would take to meet your parents. I learned that gurus have the same prejudiced nature as others and they represent the same things they were born into. In that way they were nothing but nepotistic scions of the thoughts of their forbearers.
Man I went through some headtrips I can't begin to tell you all. But at the far side when I came out and the bullshit had been cleared I found a clarity that I hadn't understood before. And sadly it's not something I can explain or help a horse to drink. I can't even lead the horse there.
But now I see clearly the bullshit of religion and politics and pretty much all manmade modes of thought as simply - bullshit. There are some types of thinking and ways of life which I consider authentic, but they do not include formal modes of worship. So when I see getups - the more high-falutin they are the more my mind wants to scream - BULLSHIT.
I believe I am a spiritual anarchist and anarchists do not feel they have to fix the dog or find new fleas to replace the ones sucking it to death. Anarchists believe that first and foremost get rid of the fucking fleas.
I don't have the faith in humanity that they will ever put the flea color on things. This is my source of cynicism and sadness. I think the world will crash and burn before it will be nurtured and preserved. Human history tells me this at every turn.

Same here. And IMO if you have a shred of empathy for humanity you'll pray for extinction. Otherwise it will just be more of the pain train and more and more and more humans to get on it.

I agree with Ice on many things, but here, you and I are singing off the same sheet music!
I love life, I enjoy living immensely; but I've no attachment to it.

Whenever I think of humanity I think of the band Tool. "Learn to swim" is my philosophy, which is why I have both utter disregard and extreme respect for those survivalist nuts. On one hand I believe they are prepared for a more-than-likely event but by the same token I think "Do you really believe you are a great enough man to harold in the newest version of humanity? Are you that selfish or that egotistical?"
Ice, you are a motherfucking monster but I totally know that feel bro

yeah, we do dat

New Orleans is a good place with good people. We get's a bad rap from peoples who pass through and can't remember what they did here, but it usually includes getting tattoos, losing all their money, spending some time in deep retreat (in a jail cell) and often losing their virginity (whatever type they have left). So they go home and write shows like American Horror Coven, The Originals, True Blood, to remind themselves not to come down here again. Though it doesn't work. They can't keep away.
