When Jesus was alive people wanted to kill him, but now that he is dead every religion seems to want a piece of him and everyone seems to revere him. Everyone seems to agree that if there is a heaven, Jesus is there as are his followers. At the same time, his message seems to bring the same wrath of those that wanted Jesus dead when he was alive.

I would suggest that the most special thing about "Jesus" is the mythology that has been built up atound him by corporate Christianity in order to create a cult of personality.
He was a Jew and a rabi and even the Jews thought he wasn't what people have claimed he was. The Jews still think he was an imposter 2,000 years later. It's not a detail that can be swatted away with a facetious remark.

Considering that you persistently contribute to other people's threads with the bland frivolity of a teenager, it is surprising to see you here expecting intelligent responses.

If you're absolutely determined to poison the well when it comes to one of your non-fans, whodey, and try to attribute his 'not being impressed by you' to some grotty flaw in his character, please take a moment, have a think, and do it with a bit more humorous craft. You sound like you just couldn't think of a witty comeback but felt compelled to post as quickly as you could anyway. 😉

Who is derailing who's thread again?
If you kids don't want to participate that is fine.
Originally posted by @whodey It was in reference to his thread, "Do you want to punch a Nazi".
Lots of anger that Dive
Huh? So because of a thread he started on another forum about pitched battles on the streets of a U.S. city, you actually think that divegeester might want to actually punch you because he's angry about what you have said on this thread? Why are you being so utterly poisonous?
