Supply Side Jesus isn't MY concept, in fact, it was Al Franken (yes, the senator) who came up with it.

Now Franken of course is a Jew, so it's easy to see why he might have a bone to pick with Christianity.

I mean, I hope I'm not saying anything too controversial here, but I think it's pretty well understood that one of the major theological differences between Christians and Jews is how they feel about Jesus.
