Would Jesus be a Democrat or a Republican? Most people tend to hate our 2-party system and therefore might hate this question, but you could view this as a Yes or No; Jesus would either be A) Dem or Rep, or B) Other/Neither.

Should one's political views be influenced by their religious views, or should this be a tenet of "separation of church & state"?

Even non-religious people don't really seem to have any issues with Jesus' character. Whether you believe in him or not he's the most universal standard of how a righteous person should be; therefore the values taught by Jesus might leaning more towards one political camp than another.

What would Jesus' stance be on gun control? abortion? immigration? welfare? corporations? vaccine mandates? legalizing drugs? foreign policy?

Rule Of Etiquette: The goal is to have a productive free-flowing discussion, while also giving everyone a fair chance to participate accordingly. If you have any trouble getting a word in, please use the "Raise Hand" feature. We have a very loosely enforced 3 minute timer but please be mindful of your time and the number of people waiting, and know you can always put yourself back in the rotation for additional talking points. It is also encouraged to engage with others on your turn so that we can more of a free-slowing dialog, rather than each of us just taking turns on our soap boxes.

Most importantly, please be polite and respectful to others. Diversity of views means you will likely hear some ideas that you will hate, and that’s ok. But for the sake of fostering a welcoming environment and productive conversations, remain professional and respectful to everyone. Or at least just try, we’re all human :)

Hope you can join us!
