Giving Jesus the benefit of the doubt, I voted "Swell Guy".  I'd invite him over for dessert, but not a full meal.  The meal is reserved for MN Dave who would likely be more fun, maybe even amenable to a food fight.  I just can't imagine Jesus starting a food fight.

Well, if you try to start selling food in the Temple watch out!

Exactly.

OK, now I'll stop.

But then you can't use arguments about how people don't follow the Old Testament rules anymore as evidence that Christians are wrong.  I can tell you what these reasons are, if you'd like, possibly in a PM.  But don't act like Christians aren't being perfectly rational.

I have meals in my home, not in some temple.  Do you often eat in a temple?  How's the food there?

Sorry, its a Bible joke.  Check out the Gospel of John for the punch line.

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Right after they snapped the famous pic of the "last supper."  A couple of paparrazi got some snaps, including one of Jesus hitting Peter in the face with a cream pie, but the church caught up to them and suppressed the pics.

He could make a terrible mess with a breadstick, though.

Are you kidding, given the enormous media event which is Michael Jackson's demise?
