2. Did you ever hear the one about the alien who landed on earth

The church leaders wanted to talk to him first about the glory of God and Jesus.

The precher says to the alien, I want you to know Jesus Christ.

The alien says, I know all about Jesus. He came to our planet and made us better. We help each other, nobody is poor and we have no wars. He was a wonderful teacher and leader. We are good because of him. We praised him then and still do.

What did he do for you?

3. This is exactly why I consider myself a Christian atheist

i.e. an Episcopalian

4. This has been a favorite quote of mine...

5. Allow me to clarify. YAHWEH and "Christ" are the same rapist. No one here "likes" rapists.

YAHWEH raped Mary with his "Holy Spirit", inseminating her with "YAHWEH's" "Word", giving birth to himself as his "Word" become flesh; a.k.a. "Christ", to save mankind from himself.

Fuck all that bullshit.

Jesus is not alright with me.

Mythology empowers by revealing and informing.
Religion destroys by obscuring and deceiving.

May reason rule.

6. No such thing as a virgin birth, eslse where did Jesus get his male chomozomes?

There is a very big difference between what Jesus is reputed to have said, and what the Christian dogma says about him. For example, the doctrine of the trinity is a bit of sophistry that was invented in 325 AD at the 1st council of Nicea, and anyone who didn't accept was labeled a heretic.

7. Delusion gives birth to delusion.

Always.

Thanks for the reply.

As far as the reputation of "Jesus", my personal assessment remains unchanged.

The moral of the stories for me are all the same.

Principles over precepts.

Love the ones that you are with, start with one's self.

No need to rinse, just repeat!

Happy Sunday!

I'm celebrating the fact that no one is, a god damned thing!!!

8. Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

It's the truest statement ever made.
