If Jesus had been a midget...

would his message still have reached the world?

I for one have always found little people creepy... in fact, I harbor this irrational anger towards them... there's no good reason for it, but, every time I see those little hands and big ol' heads I'm almost driven to violence. I was at Starbuck's yesterday and this midget couple waddled in, I was appalled to see them pull themselves up higher at the counter with those little stubby hands and order a couple of Cafe Mochas and some coffee cake. Those awkward little hands fumbling with money and trying to grasp the paper cups filled with rich chocolatey coffee goodness. I kept hoping that they'd spill the scalding contents on themselves as they snuffled coffee cake into their little scrunched up hobbit faces. I threw up in my mouth a bit as an image of the two freakshows engaged in coitus bestia popped, unbidden, into my head {shudder}.

What I'm trying to say is I don't think Jesus Son of God's message would have gone over quite so well if he had been a midget... though I suppose they would have only needed two nails to tack him up on the cross.

Hindus say that when you talk like that about one of Gods creation you will become one in your next life and you will suffer and be discriminated against. Thats the only way you will learn not to do what you do. I hope they are right.

... if the Hindus were right, don't you think we'd have learned something by now? .

What if you make fun of Lonesome George, the last living Galapagos Tortoise of his kind? By what mechanism do Hindus assert that you can reincarnate as a member of an extinct species? Isn't the whole idea just a bunch of nonsense?

Typical human arrogance. Your lack of understanding does not make a concept nonsense.

Well, then explain it to me. How is it possible to reincarnate as a member of an extinct species?

When I have before me all the information available in the universe and I have read and understood everything there is to read in this universe, maybe then I will start calling some of these nonsense.

What pitiful epistemology. Do you require access to all of the information in the universe to decide whether your shoes are tied?
