[laughter] you can't say jesus christ." and i said, "well, let's put that aside for a while, and i'll think about that one." then they went on to some others, like, there's a point in the first act of the play where george refers to martha's father, president of the university, and says to the guests, "she is his right ball, so to speak." they objected to "ball" as a slang term, and this really, really puzzled me. they said, "however, it will be all right if you say she is his right testicle." [laughter] i said, "but that doesn't scan. the rhythm is wrong there, so we can't do that." and on and on and on and on. they said, "well, we have to come back to jesus h. christ," and i was getting a little puzzled and annoyed by that point, so i said, as a joke, "well, how about mary h. magdalene?" [laughter] he thought and said, "yes, that would be lovely." and i knew there was not gonna be any real communication here. and so i took his 75 objections, and i took them to the theater, where the actors and the director were very, very

and bonhoeffer said, when jesus christ calls a person, he calls him or her to die. so he was that devoted to what's this. but he -- what's there. but he also enjoyed the life that jesus also enjoyed. >> bonhoeffer could have died either way. >> with what's that? >> bonhoeffer could have died either way, nonviolently resisting hitler. he did die probably trying to resist hitler. >> yeah. well, it took him l a year and a half to get to him, but, yes, he knew he was doomed. again, if you're trying to shoot the head man, you're doomed. they had all the power, and they got him. so there's nothing, there's no other alternative for him. he could only live by his witness. thank you. >> another question. sir, thank you. >> as one who's not even sure how to spell bonhoeffer, i know little about him. but what led up to his imprisonment and final death? what was the background? why was he in jail? >> okay. that's a very good question. and, by the way, my name is marty, m-a-r-t-y.

[ audience booing ] >> well, that's kind of a benign look, ron christie, but i don't know what a guy's supposed to say when people are screaming that kind of religious zealotry at you when you're giving a secular fund-raiser. >> well, chris, i just think that's entirely disrespectful. obviously, i have certain policy disagreements with the president of the united states, and rightfully so, but for people to heckle the president like that or people to suggest that he's the anti-christ or he was born in a foreign country, i just think that's nuts. we need to focus our disagreements on policy. you know, i had the opportunity -- i'm spending the month or the year up here at harvard university as a fellow at their institute of politics -- and i had a chance to talk to david axelrod last night and we agreed. we can respectfully disagree with individuals based on their politics, but you should never go after people personally, because that's why people are around the united states hold polit

and what the institution says it stands for has little to do these days with the teachings of jesus christ. oh, and they also told me not to come back. [laughter] he said, i've been reading some of your comments about the church and the pope in your newspaper, and i'm just worried about your soul. i laughed, george, you tonight have to worry -- you don't have to worry about me or my soul, i'm doing just fine. but it seems that you've left the church. let's just say i'm a recovering catholic. that did not go over well. would you do me a favor and pray with me right now? are you serious, george? yes. i just want to make sure you're going to be okay. i'm going to be okay, and i pray when i need to. just say the lord's prayer with me right now. and he began. our father who part heaven -- who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name -- george, stop! this isn't necessary. thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth -- george, stop! this is creeping me out. don't say that about the lord's prayer, michael. i think you need this. i don't need it, and i don't want it. and i don't know what's gotten into

in this way when according to the christian scriptures, marriage is a picture of the gospel of jesus christ. this is a repudiation of everything that we are about. a man is to love his wife, the bible says, as christ loves the church. and that includes in weakness, that includes in those times of sickness. so this is horrifying. and this doesn't speak for christians. >> whatever happened to death do we part and for better or for worse? >> well, i think that you'll find that the majority of bible-believing christians are holding fast to those words and holding faithfully to those words. caring for one another and caring for spouses who are harmed and who are injured and who are sick. that's exactly what christianity is about. christianity isn't about power. it is not about loving someone who is useful to you. it's about what jesus has done for us in the gospel which is to love us when we're useless and to love us when we're done for, when we're completely, completely marginalized. that's what the gospel does and that's what a christian marriage is to do. >> when you think about the number of

i think that it's safe to say that jesus christ may be the most depicted individual of all time throughout the centuries the artistic version est roughly the same he's skinny he's gentle sad and kind but there's a growing movement both here in the u.s. and of the u.k. to change that to make jesus more macho more tough one ours has even taken it as far as creating paintings where jesus as a tattooed biker and a boxer so what do you make of this movement is it just another way to make relation sexy to try and sell it to more people particularly men or is there something else that they're picking up on joining me to discuss this is paul founder and president of the protectors of faith and values based solution to adolescent bullying and author of the book no more christian nice guy paul i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight now that you treat for starters let's let's take a look at why it is the jesus needs a make over in your eyes i mean what's so wrong with the jesus that we see now everywhere. will this idea that you was gentle jesus be could buy a suit it's a work of fiction

the young turks and ask if we can ever get those rights back and there's a movement to remake jesus christ image into one of a macho man so we're going to speak to one of the people behind this push and ask them why or you have all of that read a night and more including those of happy hour but first take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to me. are before we get into today's mainstream ists let's go back to yesterday for a quick moment so yesterday we were examining the fake and ridiculous partisan outrage mostly over the fox news quarter over jimmy hoffa jr's remarks at a labor day rally in detroit and for using the word sons of bitches the right wing crowd immediately painted it as hate speech feigned surprise and shock and outrage now i'm not defending what i said i honestly just really don't care that much but as i predicted the left wing media went right into the he said she said machine and feigned some outrage about remarks from charles koch where he called obama saddam hussein and some other stuff just take a look i was all over this last night event was hosted by ri
