Jesus Didn't Say...

The Ceo of LBG ( Left Behind Games ) addressed the criticism of the violence in the new Left Behind game by saying that Jesus did not say that we had to be victims of murderous assault. That's it. I know you want a bit more there, but that's all he said. It is not legitimate to define Christianity by what Jesus did NOT say. What He did say is within the New Testament. What He did not say is infinite. One could generate a constant stream of what Jesus did not say. Same thing goes for any religion. Jesus did not say, for example, that child pornography is evil. Therefore, it is permissible. This type of Logik is referred to in logic textbooks as " The Artful Dodger " - how to dodge around any troubling moral qualms.
