i can see the potential for humor in it, but at the same time see many fallacies with the arguement Jesus is presenting that suggests those who created the parody really have no clue about the reality of being a christian versus the bible basher who pollutes the word and name .
there's no specific definition of heaven or hell, there's even the option for interpretation that there is no hell, just eternal death or eternal life in a heavenly body, comparing life without Gd as the same fate as being cast on a pyre for the dead and diseased.
Jesus had a clear and direct understanding of who He and Gd were and would answer in a parable rather than one line repetitive statements, that weren't even a factor when he was walking the roads...the parody has potential, but if they spent more time presenting Jesus as he was described by people who walked with him, it would have been a more...entertaining read that could have led to some good discussion about philosophy versus faith, rather than just another rehashed version of christian bashing.
both socrates and the bible stories have a lot to teach man about being human, with or without the dogma...but dumbing down one to exalt the other doesn't do either archetype any justice. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

I agree. Jesus could have been portrayed much better.
Still... I laughed. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Jesus would never say that war and plauge come from the devil. Those are the words of dumbfuck athiests. Any TRUE Christian who understands the religion would tell you that God created everything including that. | |

I understand your logic. God created Hell and all therein. I'm just stating that I thought the Four Horsemen spewed forth from Hell. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

"They look like people except they have wings."
Yeah, real accurate portrayal of Jesus. I suppose if you haven't done any deeper research into Christianity other than reading Hallmark cards and Jack Chick tracts...
Where to start. Jesus never claimed the Devil created anything, it's well recognized that the only difference between angels and gods is that angels do not seek worship, the Bible explicitly mentions other gods and the supernatural as existing, and describes God as sending plagues and such to punish mankind, nothing in the Bible actually confirms the concept of Hell at all...
I guess if you can get off on attacking a strawman and making yourself feel big that way, then yeah, that was amusing.
Socrates himself was kind of over-rated anyway. I wonder if the person writing this shit even actually read all of his diatribes.
Edit: Lawlz. I did a Google on this guy, it turns out he's a eugenics nuts who ran in Tennessee in 2004 on a platform of bringing back racial segregation. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=166463 When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

What did you even say here? When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

when people behave in horrible ways to make their points, nothing sets them apart from another hateful person. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. | |

I think it's a little pre-emptive to say morality is all in your head. These things are universally perceived, and we can all agree on names for them that fit the things as we perceive them. They affect how we act and have a real meaning in the world around us. While emotions certainly aren't physical, what is the reasoning that everything that is not physical must not be real except "in our heads"? When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
