2. America, America.....

3. Perfect. That, in fact, might be Jesus.

Since I was a young Catholic (I am an old agnostic now) I believed in angels and that since god was everywhere he/she/it must be near me.
That's why I loved that TV show, "Joan of Arcadia" since the premise so closely reflected what I thought.

5. That was a good show.

6. Hebrews 13:12

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

4. Probably depends on what the picture really shows.

(1) Homeless person napping in the park because he has no where else to go.
or
(2) Park-goer enjoying a nap on a peaceful summer day.

Assuming option 1, and assuming the stories in the Bible are reasonably accurate, Jesus would probably invite the man to have supper with him. Then Jesus would probably wish him "good luck" when Jesus moved on.

7. Jesus already told us.

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

Besides, Jesus was a homeless guy too, so maybe he'd approve.

8. When the Religious Right of His day asked Jesus about the 10 Commandments

He told them to only worry about two things:

1) Love the Lord thy God

2) Love your neighbor as you would yourself.

He then pointed out that by doing those two, you would be keeping all 10 of the commandments.

Clearly the picture above shows a failure of at least #2, and arguably #1 as well.
