I am bad. I know. I will self-flagellate after I self-congratulate. :P

1. Lol really want to get them going?

Put up a pick of Jesus without blonde hair and blue eyes.

[kikiek]

7. Now there's a good idea. They don't know anything about the orgins of

Christianity I bet. They misuse the bible to justify their hatred.

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. He just sent me another reply. *lol* He just will not give up. And the

funny thing is I didn't really provoke them. Just left a live and let live kinda message. But they can't even take that.

[kikiek]

11. Yes I give you a lot of credit. You have been very patient. Now tell

me...where was Jesus an asshole in the bible? Unless I missed something big I'd have to say you seem to have the accurate grasp of Jesus' teachings.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. He actually is credited with some very harsh statements, like the bit abou

even looking at a woman is committing adultery. But what I think is that He is right, but not in that He is trying to scare us all that we are going to Hell for looking at other people.

Rather I think it makes some sense for people in relationships to nurture their relationships. If your eye starts wandering in a major way (and I don't mean an appreciative glance but a How can I get with him/her) it's a red flag.

But, that's just me and my liberal interpretation of it all. I am sure being married and formerly bad about wandering (before we were married) has a lot to do with that personal interpretation. :shrug:

[kikiek]

14. Yeah and the whole bible is pretty open to interpretation and rewrites to

support positions. People need to realize that if they want to follow their interpretation of it fine. Don't interpret God for me though. There isn't much difference between extremeists in any religion.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Yep I believe in biblical inspiration not inerrancy. I think that there

were plenty of Dobsons, Robertsons, and Falwells of the day writing, organizing, and interpreting the Book all through the ages. But then I really do believe in Free Will. Not Free Will except for when the Bible was dictated by God to humans.

[DanCa]

21. Exactly for instance

I think that Jonah and the whale was a Metaphor for depression and not being swallowed by a mythic beast. Not everything is at face value. I also believe that when Jesus used the word scribe he was alluding toward this as well and not saying just the keepers of the law.

19. My niece came home from school once

They have Jesus looking alot like Hulk Hogan these days. Whatcha going to do when Jesumania runs wild on you brother.

The ugliest Hulk Hoganest Bondest Blue-eyedest Jebus in the world. Even my my hyper Catholic mother hates the hell out if it.

on edit: Damn, Jesus really had a six-pack!

[DanCa]

23. welcome to du yoy

check out those christian coloring books at dollar tree sometime.
I swear that any second you can almost see Jesus starting to flex and pose, brother. :cool

[YOY]

27. I think it may have been David Cross who said

"You know what you really want in a savior is six-pack abs."

Coulda been another comic.

and thanks for the welcome. I like the place. It's good to vent my frustrations on the current state of affairs.

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. This place keeps me sane, and I have heard a lot of other people

say the same. I'm really glad you found us. :hi:

35. Thanks GPV

I've appreceated your posts so far!

30. Here is what Jesus probably looked like

Yeshua of Nazareth:
What did he look like?

In recent portrayals by Caucasian Christian artists, Yeshua ben Nazereth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ) has typically been shown with a light skin, a long "Presbyterian" nose, very long hair, and a height probably in excess of six feet. The face of Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus in the movie "The Passion of the Christ," is similar to many modern-day images of Jesus. He is shown in the right picture above. Carlos F. Cardoza-Orlandi, associate professor of world Christianity at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA, commented: "While Western imagery is dominant, in other parts of the world he is often shown as black, Arab or Hispanic." 3 However, these have been based on pure speculation by the artists.

And here is what Jesus smelled like:

Jesus scented candles

An American couple have created a scented candle based on biblical accounts of what Jesus smells like.

Bob and Karen Tosterud, from South Dakota, were inspired by a verse that says when Jesus returns to Earth his robes will perfumed with myrrh, aloe and cassia.

Karen sourced the fragrances on the internet and had a family friend manufacture the 'His Essence' candle, reports WCCO TV.

33. I have seen that pic before,, and you know it's funny but I have

yet to see it hanging in a church. Just a blue-eyed, tawny haired guy. (Although a lot of the churches I attended as a kid wouldn't allow portraits of Jesus. Blasphemy, ya know.)

[Fridays Child]

2. My next sig line...

"Talk to GreenPartyVoter. She's nicer than God."

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Thanks, love! *hugs*

[kikiek]

3. One thing the blogs have done. Opened my eyes to all the fricking

nuts walking around. I guess America is free as long as you think like them, act like them, and look like them. Otherwise it isn't, and you better get the hell out. I won't even mention logic because none exists.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

4. I think your reputation score could use some work.......

one, solitary red box. While SOTK had a bunch of green boxes. Does that mean he's a better Christian than you? :P

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Yes, in that little world he is better than me. I only go there to

tweak noses, and obviously not very often. I far prefer to be at DU where people are sane.

[xchrom]

9. conservatives are not christian.

they are the goats that jesus talked about.

[bliss_eternal]

10. Why do some Christians act like they hang out w/God

personally? Or like they were friends with Jesus, and they know EXACTLY what his will is, what he hates, etc.

And why do so many of them seem to need to twist the intentions of biblical text to make them hateful, vengeful, wrathful, etc.? It's very disturbing...

:eyes:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Yes it is. He was pretty ticked in his last post that I won't accept that

God is angry and loves justice. I DO accept that.. except I think that Dubya is gonna be on the receiving end of that Justice, not on the righthand side of the Throne.

[bliss_eternal]

28. They couldn't have liked that much.

Just cracked me up, your post on that board. It's so funny to me the way they immediately label a dissenting view as 'liberal christian'--I guess they don't get that Jesus was a liberal.

:eyes:

[nashville_brook]

15. i like this exchange:

you say:
Lucky for me it's not up to you to decide if I love and follow Him or not.


he say:
Quite right. It is most definitely not up to me, however, I am commanded to rebuke, exhort, and teach with all longsuffering.

i say:
that's the definition of an asshole.

these people can't be for real. this has to be some random phrase generator.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. You have GOT to go back.. he is about to have a litter of kittens! *lol*

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I just laughed so hard I wet myself! *lol*

[nashville_brook]

25. now i'm convinced it's a random phrase generator

this exchange made me pick up Listen, Little Man. love the other guy's sig line -- "i hate summer." if they *are* real (and that's a big if), i'd say they don't get many dates.

[hlthe2b]

20. Would you please refer to these people w quotes around Christian?

They are in no means true Christians and to refer to them as such does tremendous disservice to millions of people who at least try to adhere to the teachings of Christ.

I know this is the point of your post.... The use of quotations (or referring them as "XIANS" would make it so much more clear--and avoid misunderstandings I think):shrug:

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. True. I think it's too late to edit it though. :^(

[nashville_brook]

26. xtian works to -- the x is like, i'm not sure what their devotion is --

don't even want to go there. best unknown.

29. Irritating Xians is an exclusive atheist franchise.

You'll be hearing from our lawyers.

:hi:

31. Maybe we can go halves on one? I hear the ACLU has a few good ones *g*

[More Than A Feeling]

34. Well done

That person may not think so, but I think you did an excellent job of teaching and rebuking immorality. (The immorality of persecuting in God's name, while ignoring the poor and the suffering, all of which has to make God furious.)

Excellent work!:thumbsup:

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. Thanks. :^)
