edlib Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 User Profile of... well, you'll see... I don't know whether to laugh my ass off or be shocked by the whole outrageous blasphemy of it... At least they got the birthdate correct... I like the concept of adding him to your buddy list...
Rogue Nine Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Ditto. Someone's being a little sacreligious.

[/b] My guess is that it was done for the sake of the birthdays listed on the calendar of lucasForums. The problem is: the birthday is wrong. Most theologists agree that Jesus' date of birth is sometime in September in 4 BC. December was chosen because it was the easiest way to convert pagans to Christianity. See, the pagans celebrated the winter solstice (Dec 21-22) ...and so the missionaries declared that time to be the birth of their saviour, so as to say: Look, you guys can still have your party, but you are gonna celebrate something we believe in". Hey, it was easier than killing them all for blasphemy. You can't convert the dead.
JR2000Z Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 And some don't believe that Jesus was a priest or a doctor....
edlib Posted December 15, 2001 Author Posted December 15, 2001 Yeah, I know all that. I was actually trying to avoid that discussion... Dec. 25 is the commonly and popularly accepted day for that event, and that's what I was getting at in my typical, slightly sarcastic way. I found it by clicking on the calandar for the month, A.J., and saw it under birthdays on the 25th. I'm not sure it would have bothered me if they hadn't filled out all the spaces in the profile... you know, just left the name and nothing else. The very LEAST they could have done was given a custom rank! "Bantha fodder"?!?!? Come on!!!!
raVen_image Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Originally posted by JR2000Z And some don't believe that Jesus was a priest or a doctor.... Yeah, that struck me as funny too. Since "Jesus" was supposedly the one who filled out the profile...those occupations are out of place. Jesus was the first to deny his divinity...he said outright that priests (and religion) got it all wrong. As to his healing abilities, only his followers attested to that. Jesus never said anything like that. All we can be sure of is that he was a carpenter's son.

Christ condemed the Jewish officials for their hypocracy to the spirit of the law, but he observed the Jewish laws all his life. He was a Jew, through and through. Considering his parents, that's hardly surprising.
Nitro Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Yeah... I found the following downright uproarious... Yes! Notice the clever use of opposites! Add Jesus Christ to Your Buddy List Add Jesus Christ to Your Ignore List Click here to email Jesus Christ Send Jesus Christ a Private Message!
Nitro Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I think this sums it up... The guy with the ponytail, Riff, summoned Satan into his computer. The other guy is Torg, the strip's other main character. (At least at that point...)
raVen_image Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Hehe Who's your buddy?: That's right! It's "Buddy Christ". I was wondering, if you send this forumer, Christ, a PM...is that the same as praying? ...'cuz he doesn't answer.
Nitro Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Ah, Dogma... One of the best movies of all time.
Keyan Farlander Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 If by "best" you mean "worst" then I would have to agree. The first half was interesting and fairly entertaining, but the second half went downhill, and the movie degenerated into pure stupidity.
Nitro Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Ok, so it wasn't that good... I'll admit. Good for a few cheap laughs, but that's what Jay and Silent Bob are all about!
Keyan Farlander Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 I'll take your word for it - it's the only movie I've seen with them in it, I think. The funniest thing in it was probably that black thirteenth apostle thing.
Nute Gunray Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 It's certainly not the real deal, I mean you'd think Jesus would be able to get like Son_of_God or Jesus for his AIM name...well not Jesus because I'm sure a Jesus (the Spanish name) somewhere would have gotten it first...
JR2000Z Posted December 15, 2001 Posted December 15, 2001 Besides, Jesus wouldn't use AOL or anything related to AOL-Time Warner. He's not stupid.
Guest Conor Posted December 16, 2001 Posted December 16, 2001 First to deny His divinity? Amusing to say the least. What have you been reading?
raVen_image Posted December 16, 2001 Posted December 16, 2001 Originally posted by Conor First to deny His divinity? Amusing to say the least. What have you been reading? Well...the Bible. In 3 of the 4 gospels, when Pilot asks him if he the prophesied "King of the Jews" ...Jesus denies it. As to Dogma...you guys are crazy. If you knew anything about Catholic and Christian Mythology, you'd see the brilliance of that flick. My guess is: None of you have read your Bibles...unless you've read the "King James" version, which is heralded as the worst translation (actually, re-write) ever attempted. Scottish "Queen Jimmy" changed so much about that book it's shameful. I suggest that you read a real Bible.
JR2000Z Posted December 16, 2001 Posted December 16, 2001 *glances at Keyan* *glances back at raVen_image.* Here comes a holy war....
