"Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is."

- C.S. Lewis
It's Funny Because It's True

From Stuff Christians Like: Remix - #9. Comparing Braveheart to Christianity.

3. Jesus was a brawler.
Look at that verse where he clears the temple. Jesus is wild. He's intense and violent and leading a revolution. No forget that, he's leading an xRevolution, which is like a revolution only a million times more relevant to today's culture. I mean check out how he cuts off that Roman soldier's ear when they come to arrest him. Jesus was a ninja! Huh? That wasn't him? He healed that dude? One of his last physical actions was to wash people's feet and heal the guard? You are ruining Braveheart for me right now. I hate you.
Heh. "You are ruining Braveheart for me right now."

And "he's leading an xRevolution, which is like a revolution only a million times more relevant to today's culture" had me spewing diet coke all over my monitor.
