Why Did Jesus Bother?

[Atheist]

I think he bothered that ordinary poor people were getting a bad deal, Sadly, he didn't realise that his attempt to engender kindness in many people would fail - he underestimated the widespread lack of empathy and the power of 'rotten apple' syndrome and the 'tragedy of the commons.'

[Hopkirk]

What?

[Old_Geezer]

He bothered because he believed that the world was about to end and all had to be prepared. And anyway, it was a living.

[spathiphyllum]

I personally think he had a bit of a god complex

There are more good apples in every harvest than bad ones, whether they follow the teachings of Jesus or not.

Some people are very rude indeed though.

[Atheist]

Mamy, it's true what you say, but one bad apple affects some of the rest. I try not to be rude, but if you thought I was, then I apologise.

[Mamyalynne]

It was someone else I was referring to, not you.

[Atheist]

Mamy; good. I wouldn't like to offend you.

Why did Jesus bother with what?

[Baldric]

Jesus quote, "Am I bothered?"

[Bazile]

Because he so loved the world ......
