Jesus is a guy.
God is a spirit.
But the Bible also clearly states that God is Christ's Father and Mary is his mother.
Don't blame me for what's written, called scripture and is believed in by millions. .

There are pretty sound arguments as to whether any historically living Jesus actually existed at all. But what does this have to do with anything real?

Oh, my gosh! This makes my heart very sad. Pastor Jack Bell is right. You couldn't do this with Mohammad. Many people in the world hate Christians while they think that Islam is the peaceful religion. Unfortunately, we have a president who promotes this thinking.

Sarcasm much appreciated.

Lets not muddy philosophical sentiment with facts from reality. We should all live on principal as the headsman sharpens hie axe. Conscientious sheep are dead sheep just the same to the butcher, no?

(sarcasm)

Why does this deliberate attempt of being offensive to those who would be offended remind of The National Lampoon, which critics used to call sophomoric back in the 70s?
I stopped reading it when a cartoonist dressed up Jesus as a super hero called "Son of God."
That gave me the creeps despite being an ex-Catholic with religious doubts at that time in my life.
I did like an issue's cover with a pie being shoved into Che's face with the caption "Nothing Sacred."
The first National Lampoon I bought (as a former drafted Marine and a current college student) had a cover with a dog that had a gun held to its held. Caption said: "Buy this magazine or I'll shoot this dog."
I was laughing and all like "Oh, my goodness! Poor dogie! I must buy this right away!"

What's troubling is that most of those "refugees" are young men of military age, not the women and children the media chooses to focus on. Sweden has become the "rape capital" of Europe due to attacks on women by residents of the refugee camps. Some of the "refugees" have openly threatened the societies they've invaded with a demand they become more acceptable to Islamic practices. Someone better get serious about vetting these crowds, or catastrophe is not far ahead.

I once had an argument/discussion with catholic priest over corporate prayer vs. individual prayer. Catholics have some curious notions, in my opinion. I also suggested virtual confession via the web, it didn't go over well then (I bet they are doing it now though).

I grudgingly admit that catholicism did much good for unification of the massed and the rise of civilization. Unfortunately, as much good as they accomplished there ha been an equal amount, perhaps greater amount, of harm done.

Still, catholicism is not the subject of this thread.

ok, I do not understand this comment

read and weeped

there are thousand s of refugees fleeing war. They are not plants. How do we siphon wheat from chaff?

Do you mean the refugees?

hmm. Then why do US catholics continue to support a marxist pope who hides and and refuses to acknowledge what his priests have done for decades-neigh centuries? I just read recently that there has been millions -maybe billions spent on brothels in Rome by the Vatican. ignore it like everyone else does...

also yell that the Paris atrocity is getting more attention than you are now :)

"I will not condemn a child of Islam from a good life and widening of views. "keep them OUT!" this is not Objectivism."

Knowing that those children, their parents, their entire family, regardless of age, have been bred to hate and lash out at the West makes accepting them into our society akin to suicide. Willfully placing all of our lives in danger.

Accepting them into this country, as France has learned, makes no sense. Keeping them out is the sensible thing to do until such time they can be vetted to the reasonable assurance that little Aziz nor his family intend to go boom or run wild with weapons they bought from the local Walmart when they get here.

I didn't intend to offend but what I said is accurate bringing them here is senseless and akin to suicide.

AJ, what did I say that warranted this comment: So, suicide and lack of sense is now objectivism?
false argument

So, suicide and lack of sense is now objectivism? Brining to this nation hordes of islamic refugees is like playing russian roulette.

Tell me, in Atlantis, would the individuals prevent a toxic-ally irradiated man or a highly diseased man from outside who extols Rand from moving into their community? If not, why?

I do not find it acceptable-but I will not condemn a child of Islam from a good life and widening of views. "keep them OUT!" this is not Objectivism.

Catholics are not extremists but they tacitly support the Vatican

I'm not catholic but I know many who condemn the church, even stopped attending, because of its past shuffle-the-pedophile policies. Even so, child molestation is not the norm in any form of Christianity. The same can't be said for islam.

Why do people do this stuff? If you can't even draw a picture of Mohammed then why do so many consider this acceptable?

no-just a catholic culture of pedophilia. yes, no one died
