"Vigilante Jesus"

I was reading a thread over at http://www.crookedtimber.org and one of the commenters summed up a bunch of the current trends of fundamentalist reactionary Christianity in the US as "wanting a Vigilante Jesus". Which seems fairly accurate, and also sounds like a band name, or a comic.

Hey, what do you want, it's my LJ, it's just fractured reflections of my brain, whatever grabs my attention long enough for me to post on it, whether it's a short link or a three page rant.

Quotes, Mindscribbles

Hey, /I/ want a Vigilante Jesus
...to sweep the moneychangers out of the temple!

Vigilante Jesus HAS to have been sighted in Paragon City by now. Alongside MechaJesus and RoboStalin.

Though Biblically, he was never really a vigilante...more often than not he was a nonviolent protestor (And with good reason back then!). It was his buddies that got overzealous from time to time and got all pissy with their local government.
