What if Jesus Had Not Been Crucified???

[Jakebake420]

What if someone snuck up behind you, strangled you to death with a guitar string. Then two thousand some odd years later, you return to earth to lead your creations, and they run at you adorned with guitar strings! Always found that strange. Why someone would display the means of their saviors end. Icky. JMO.

This is even better. I always thought the crucifix thing was odd. Thanks for explaining why it seems so odd

Before you start philosophizing about "What may haves", one question:

Do you even have proof that he existed?

give me jesus's DNA and that will be enough proof... until then, dude is probably a hero made up in a story, a dumb story imo.

Richard Dawkins has joked that it's a good thing jesus wasn't executed by electrocution, or there would be millions wearing little electric chairs around their necks

I really expect a more logical argument from a Portlandite . . .

Silly Goose! If Logic and Reason are what you seek, why are you searching in a thread with Jesus in the title? That was sarcasm. If the bible were from a "Superior Being", it would have been written in Mathematics. If Jesus existed, his crucifixion, along with his "crimes" would have been well documented by historians. Water into wine, Meh. Turn a stone into a feminized Acapulco Gold Seed and I'll consider it.

Haha, I am usually good at picking up sarcasm. I blame it on the Ambien Fog.

You got me.

If Jesus saves, why isn't he playing in goal for England?

Jesus saves! Passes to Moses, he shoots, he SCORES! (think I saw that from MP, cracks me up)...

Paganism is the ONLY true religion that counts. If we poison the air (through exceeding our co2 emmisions over the amount of plants that we grow to use that co2), or the water (by not using hydro or re-cycling our water over the garden) or the soil (by not using hydroton/rockwool or composting etc) we are all dead.
Call me strange but I think it makes more sense than thinking if we don't belive in an imaginary man who fed 40000 people with 4 fish and a loaf of bread or something we will all go to hell.

all them people standing around crying ,,

...read a bit about Ishtar.

That was not a very good movie. cn

 

[meechz 024]

Then the church would just have to make up their own fake guilt-trip story for us.

.......oh wait

Turn a stone into ... a whole lotta stone? Good but can be done better, imo. cn

Now, I'm not gay or anythything but the best bit is that the clergy have recently opposed same-sex marriages saying they are immoral!
But buggering children is O.K.?

Until the entire world is free from religion, not 1 human can be born equal.

Be honest, if you saw a man walking in the desert, and behind him sprouted land race Cannabis, we'd worship him, after collecting shit tons of data, of course.

We would not have a path to eternal salvation- he died for your sins

 

[grobofotwanky]

I think the cross was just a cover up. He went out like Elvis.

LOL. Classic! To put a modern twist on it, is anyone up for glueing themselves to a cross of carbon fibre with araldite to save Captain Kirk from the sins he performs in 4012?
