Modern day Jesus would probably be out in the street burning churches. 1st century Jesus vandalizes temples in response to commercial exploitation of the poor.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Jesus were around today (under another name) and practicing his ministry that Evangelicals would be among his greatest critics and opponents. They'd call him a radical Socialist bent on destroying the American way of life - how dare he say all those nasty things about wealthy people and greed and losing one's soul so you can gain power and material goods! The horror! And he's brown-skinned and Semitic too - probably a closet Arab terrorist. Franklin Graham, Joel Osteen, and Jerry Falwell, Jr. would hate him.
