Who said “Jesus looks like Osama Bin Laden”?

Dec 3rd, 2007
by Michael Krahn.

Regarding the “conventional” view of eschatology:

“What you end up with is a trajectory for telling the story
where the afterlife becomes the point of the the Gospel and
not the coming of the kingdom of God into this world. And
there it really becomes a big deal.. is that then you end
up with an interpretation of the book of Revelation where
Jesus is going to come on a white horse with a sword and
he’s going to kill everybody. So at the end of the day – I’m
going to be a little blunt here – but Jesus looks a lot more
like Osama Bin Laden in that view than Jesus looks like St.
Francis… “

Any guesses?
