THere are two questions at play, is there a God, and if so, what is He like.

If God created all that is in existence, then logic and rationality are included, hence it would follow he is a rational and logical Creator.

Jesus most certainly had to be a capitalist and a conservative on most issues.
Most seem to mix up the meanings behind many of his parables and statements.

For example, the so called ban on punishment for adultry isnt so. The Jewish leaders were trying to trap him, and Jesus was merely pointing out their hypocracy, He was NOT saying adultery is ok, or should go unpunished, dont forget, he also admonished her and said, "go and sin no more"

Dont forget also the parable of the talents, where the servants were to use the masters money to earn more money, pure capitalism.

Jesus a socialist? Ha, the above mentioned parable proves he wasnt.

Death penalty, apparently He okayed it, cuz he allowed his own to occur.

Homosexualilty, Jesus believes in the sanctity of marriage and sex as that being proper only in a marriage between a man and a woman.
