Any of those would get SOME RWNJ's spouting off about damn hippies.
Of course, in fairness, some LWNJ's would be busy trying to shut down his ministry as "insensitive".

The other cheek parable is not letting a man hit you then cowering down like a scared little girl and taking another beating. You have to be man enough to be able to stand up and whip the guys tail, but then offer the other cheek in order for the story to be valid.
Judging by what the other non-belivers said about Jesus before he was hanging nearly dead from a cross, saying that he was a drunkard, glutton, mamzer or bastard, etc... I don't see where tree hugging hippie comes into play?
Cowardly hippes don't go waltzing into the headquarters of the Jews being protected by Roman soldier ordered to keep the peace at all cost and start tearing up the place.
