Was Jesus the first radical?

As Saul Alinsky states in the dedication in the first edition of seminal book, "Rules for Radicals:"

"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: From all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."

So does this mean that Obama's true spiritual forefather is Satan?

Update:

P.S. There is no clause in the Constitution separating Church and State, simply a clause that no one single sect be raised to the level of official State Religion.

    1. Jesus did not exist.

    2. There have been "radicals" since the existance of consciousness.

    First of all, your ignorance is shocking. Secondly, this is not a political question, look for a little rule in the Constitution called separation of Church and State. And finally, your question makes no sense. You ask if Jesus was the first radical, then state that Satan was the first radical, and then make the jump to ask if Obama's forefather is Satan. None of that makes any sense.

    LMAO!!!!!

    Only an ignorant fundie would blame satan. No wonder the world looks at Americans as ignorant nut jobs who believe that the earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs were killed in Noah's flood.

    We must take our country back form the fundie nut jobs who make us all look like morons.

    VOTE THE FUNDIES OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

    Our government has been infected with fundamentalism. The symptoms are hate, bigotry, and extreme ignorance. We can eradicate this ignorance from our government but we must vote to do it.

    A moderate Democrat like Obama doesn't seem like a radical unless you're a right-wing extremist who doesn't listen to anyone but Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly.

    Jesus was apolitical. Satan started the secular humanist movement. I'll leave everyone to their own conclusions.

    NO

    There were several radicals before Jesus. Most of the Old Testament Prophets were anti Government radicals.

    Your fanaticism does not see the reality. The truth is gonna set you free!!. Burning crosses does not make you a good christian or better person than other people with different color than you.

    Since neither Jesus or Satan actually exist, your question is moot.

    So does this mean that Obama's true spiritual forefather is Satan? YES, which is why it is so important to hide his true Muslim roots.
