And yeah I'm working on the assumption that he existed and was god etc, because that's not even a necessary argument to have in order to show modern day Christians how contradictory their beliefs are to what Jesus actually did. He spent majority of his time on earth with the tax collectors and prostitutes etc, social outcasts that religious folk hated. Why wouldn't he do the same today?
Jesus was, quite intentionally, a non-political leader, and butted heads with people who tried to make it political action several times in the gospels.

he came for the sick. not to condone them, but to save them.
he came as a lamb. he comes back as a lion.
you err in the Scriptures. you twist them for your agenda.
