Jesus' name comes in handy when I spill sugar all over the floor.

I accept that Jesus was/is the Son of God, and came to provide redemption to the Jews, most of whom decided that he was a nice Boy, but not what they'd been looking for in a sword-wielding, Warrior Messiah.

I do not follow Him, but do not disrespect those who choose to do so.

There is no historical evidence that Jesus actually performed any miracles so I just assume he was a charismatic guy with a big following.

How do you reconcile this with paganism and whale penis?

As a polytheist, it's not difficult.

Happy Monkey · 12-21-2006, 10:28 PM

As a polytheist, then, Jesus is the son of some random god, like Hercules was the son of Zeus? Or is Jesus' dad the one true God, and the others are His creations, like angels?

There are many gods, the G-d of the Jews is one of the many.

I prefer to think of him as "The Buddy Christ". :-)

Shawnee123 · 01-08-2007, 01:59 PM

Oh, is that what the priest was calling me when I took communion?

"The Buddy of Christ" he'd call me, and I would respond "Amen."

It makes more sense now.

was it ever uncomfortable to be on your knees in front of a priest with your mouth wide open?

It's one of my more comfortable positions.

The three wise men arrived to visit the child lying in the manger.
One of the wise men was exceptionally tall and smacked his head on the low doorway as he entered the stable. "Jesus Christ!" he exclaimed.
"Write that down, Mary," said Joseph. "It's better than 'Derek'."
