Wetcoaster Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yes, because sarcasm is easy to detect with the written word with no understanding of the speaker's personality. (Sarcasm btw). You also seem to not understand why there are so many versions of the bible. You should study a little more. That's fairly basic knowledge.

Wetcoaster Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 You are free to be a lawyer. One of many BTW. You are also free to laugh at whomever you like to - does that make you a better person than anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I am absolutely intolerant of intolerance .. I learned this from multiple readings of "Catch 22" in my formative years .. 8 years an altar boy and devout free-thinker .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Actually it is much more difficult to be a lawyer than a "Christian". You have to actually obtain an undergrad degree with top marks academically (A- average the last time checked for my alma mater), then do really well on the Law School Admission Test (top 5 percentile) to get into law school. Three years of intense study and a year as an articled student (think indentured servant at the money being paid) and then you have to pass the Bar Admission exam, pay a whack of money yearly for professional membership fees and liability insurance. Oh yeah and then you are required to take a number of Continuing legal Education courses approved by the Law Society. And to claim to be a Christian... Read a book of fairy tales? Better person? I was talking about wacky ideas and tortured interpretations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Jesus was a character in a poorly written book of fiction called the Bible. Given the extremely subjective nature of this Jesus' existence, and all the other fiction espoused in that book, he's whatever you want him to be, much in the way that tangibly occurs in the real world with such fictional idols and the inherently subjective qualities that they supposedly possess.

Tearloch7 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yet you're being intolerant of those of us who are not like the stereotypical view of Christians you portray. Seems you need to do some more reading....just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I wasn't talking about difficulty, I was talking about being a better person. But since you went down that rabbit hole, which is more difficult, believing in God or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Jesus would be 1000% a liberal. He would be so liberal that even today's liberals would call him an extremist. The fact that conservatives have hijacked him only to spread hate is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNoelPatrol Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Jesus never existed, so what is the point of this? Might as well list all the fictional gods and get a huge poll going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Would Jesus? A) give the masses bread B )teach the masses how to fish C) tell the masses to pull up their socks and it's their fault they are hungry so frack off you freeloading pinkos, druggies and illegals or I'll throw you in jail.

Mr. Ambien Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We are going by but what is written about him. There is definitely a leaning. At this point it would seem the leaning is extremely to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 All of our personal interpretations of anything Jesus related that we project upon others are wrong. Speaking and projecting on behalf of someone who has been dead for thousands of years is idiotic. I do in no way denounce anyone's personal beliefs but attempting to establish which side the main protagonist in this particular story book would pick given the choice is never ending.

Heretic Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I beg to differ .. I am very tolerant of every race, creed and belief .. I am impatient with those who seek to place their values upon others .. 'believe what you will, just keep it to yourself unless asked' is my motto .. I strongly believe in "God" .. but he is my God and I am not sharing him with anyone else .. I consider spirituality to be a very personal matter, and only to be shared appropriately ..
