Usaba cabello largo y huaraches, solo se dedicaba a pasear con sus amigos, tomaba vino (! y lo multipicaba!), no obedecía a sus superiores al no descansar el sábado, solo hablaba de amor y paz y odiaba al capitalismo (eso de correr a los mercaderes del templo), y lo peor, platicaba con chicas extranjeras (la samaritana) y hasta con una prostituta...
Así es, para muchos cristianos fundamentalistas (especialmente de Estados Unidos), Jesús parece ser o hippy o gay, y eso les perturba. Jesús no puede ser un marica, claro que no! Por ello el deseo de todo un movimiento de hacer Jesús a su imagen y semejanza, es decir: un Jesús machista, que a su vez no tema en hacer lo que los hombres americanos son llamados a hacer. Copio de Christianity Today:
The message of Church for Men and GodMen is resonating with ministers of all stripes. Following Murrow's advice, Don Wilson, pastor of Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria, Arizona, has geared his entire ministry toward reaching young men. And while his ministry is not to men in particular, Mark Driscoll, pastor of Seattle's Mars Hill Church, nevertheless desires greater testosterone in contemporary Christianity. In Driscoll's opinion, the church has produced "a bunch of nice, soft, tender, chickified church boys. … Sixty percent of Christians are chicks," he explains, "and the forty percent that are dudes are still sort of chicks."
The aspect of church that men find least appealing is its conception of Jesus. Driscoll put this bluntly in his sermon "Death by Love" at the 2006 Resurgence theology conference (available at TheResurgence.com). According to Driscoll, "real men" avoid the church because it projects a "Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ" that "is no one to live for [and] is no one to die for." Driscoll explains, "Jesus was not a long-haired … effeminate-looking dude"; rather, he had "callused hands and big biceps." This is the sort of Christ men are drawn to—what Driscoll calls "Ultimate Fighting Jesus."
