Catholics are outraged...again

Its why choirboys have center partings.

I only wish you could do the same with Jews or Muslims, but apparently those two are untouchable.

On a similar subject of Catholics being outraged, there's a documentary about Jesus being a Buddhist:

Jesus in India (2008)
"A former Fundamentalist from Texas is ousted from his church for asking unwelcome questions about the "missing years" of Jesus - the years from 12 to 30 unaccounted for in the Bible. The Texan, author Edward T. Martin, undertakes a seeker's question across 4,000 miles of India in search of evidence and answers about where Jesus was during those "Lost Years." An impressive array of Religious scholars and authorities weighs in, developing the cases for and against the theory of Jesus having traveled extensively in India. Written by Paul Davids

Author Edward T. Martin documents a fact-based account of Lord Jesus Christ's 4000 mile journey from Israel to India from the ages of 12 to 30. During this time He lived at Jaggannath Puri (which has been in existence since 486 BC)and Meenakshi Mandirs in Madurai, Chennai, and learned about patience and compassion from Hindu priests, though he did speak out against the Hindu Caste system. He also journeyed to Dharamshala as well as Ladakh, Tibet, to live amongst Buddhists. At age 30 He returned back, was baptized, and two years later was tortured, and eventually crucified by Roman ruler Pontius Pilate. The Lord did survive, was nursed back to health by his mother, Holy Mother Virgin Mary, and both eventually returned to India, where subsequently the Holy Mother was laid to rest at a tomb in Murree, India (now in Pakistan), while the Lord himself was entombed in Srinagar. With strong denials from the Vatican, the author now attempts to secure DNA samples of the Lord from His final resting place in Khanyar Street - now believed to be the resting place of Islamic Saint Youeza - amidst anger from the local Muslim community."

This reminds me of another movie:

The Man from Earth (2007)
"An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he is an immortal who has walked the earth for 14,000 years."

Wow wtf?

I'm not going to comment about the claim that Catholics are outraged, as I noted no outrage yesterday... presumably some probably are though.

With regard to the whole Jesus in India thing... improbable. Are there similarities between some of Jesus' ministry and buddhism, sure; however, it seems far more likely any buddhist influance on Jesus would have come from interactions with traders travelling from the sub-continent then from him travelling to India. So many people are intrigued by the "missing years." There have long since been speculation that the church is covering something up; however, it's more likely that nothing is writen becuase nothing of any real interest happened. All the gospels were writen for specific communities with a specific intention and stories of Jesus learning how to carve stone, working on building projects near Nazareth, and generally living a normal working class 1st centure Galilean life don't really serve the purpose of any of the gospels. It's most probable that Jesus had an entirely normal life up until his ministry... he probably learned a trade, worked, married, etc.

The act of covering up does not automatically imply guilt of all speculations.

Or...maybe it's improbable simply because Jesus' existance is itself, improbable.

its quite possible that he lived the first time round. ressurection? kind of unlikely.

Of course it's possible. But it's also highly unlikely.

Anyways, let's not turn this into a religious discussion.

Jesus as a human being is highly probable and, I'd say, more than likely. Jesus as a higher being or the son of God, rather, is improbable. Sort of like how Earth never flooded, but rather the story was based off of a massive flooding of The Nile. Ya know?

Speak for yourself. A person who takes pride in being a real asshole is a person who deserves to get fucked by dicks. /end

Youd think that being a member of a cult would engender ever-lasting happiness wouldn�t you?

I guess Jake is also an asshole for loving the cock?

Having read a lot about malignant cults, I will tell you, that's not the case. Glassy eyes are the result of malnutrition and the smile is a combination of hypoxia, denial, depression, and a reinforcement of the belief that if you aren't smiling, you're the weak link who's just not getting it.

This.

Which is as exaggerated as claiming "Jesus was a cynic". Given the ideas popular around his time, it's safe to say he was influenced by Buddhist concepts to certain extent, that he was more likely influenced by Greek cynicism but that, at heart, he couldn't go 100% against Judaism, so he's - at best - a Cynical "Juddhist", whose teachings were later hijacked by platonists.

No true Buddhist would ever care for the idea of a God.

ps.: Keep in mind cynicism in this context does not mean what it means today.

I love Lira.

At first he was like



but then he was like

But, pssst, I'm shy!

Q: What's the difference between Jesus and a picture of Jesus?

A: it only takes one nail to hang a picture of Jesus

What does "INRI" inscribed above crussifix mean?

"I'm Nailed Right In"
