Are you able to follow a train of thought?

The question, "Would Jesus have worn the pin" is stupid. Why? Because not only can you not answer it, you're using it as a thinly veiled attempt at making some irrelevant point.

If Christians want to convince the world, they have to first be likable.
K, I am no expert on jesus, but I think he might be busy overturning tables at the starbucks in megachurches, and giving sermons against the prosperity gospel. But that is just my crazy imagination.

Actually ... I think the Bible gives us enough insight into how Jesus would act and I seriously doubt that He would wear such a pin.

Matthew 10:11-15

11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. 15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

I'm also not naive enough to NOT be able to pick up on the seething hatred of certain members of this forum - including you. You people are far too transparent, despite how clever you think you're being.
"seething hatred" sounds like some old pulp fiction magazine How DRAMATIC!!!!

Nope, no seething hatred....just some facts, and having fun watching some christians get all het up about a pin and their horrible persecution because of it!!!

If it had been a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, or even the Virgin Mary I would have been on her side, but the way her pin was worded seemed to be begging for confrontation. The pin seemed to be more of a rant IMO.
