Hi Berners! I heard this recently on Nicole Sanders' (a terrific Progressive talk show host on RadioOrNot.com) program and thought I'd share. Although I'm not religious (and neither is Nicole), I love this guy's response to Bernie. Hope it's not a dupe.

(9,497 posts)1. I don't believe in the story of Jesus, but I love the words of "Jesus"
Someone, or some people wrote the words attributed to Jesus and they are about love and helping the least of us.
So this man, in my mind, is a true follower of "Jesus" and the beauty that is represented in the idea of him.
Which is wonderful.

I has a long thread with someone earlier and appartently I was too thick for words...I will go back and try to get it. I am in the middle of studies and my brain is thinking in terms of processes for software not real world!
Get some shut eye!
