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.

Crazy.

Who is like him?

I'll ask you to substantiate that.

I can't think of a religion that disowns him or says that he was not inspired by God, can you?

That is, those who are familiar with him.

Curses!


Well, it beats taking a murder wrap I reckon.

Any others?

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.

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. 😉

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?
