The happy Jesus or the mean Jesus?? 😂

😛 Exactly....not to mention "I want massive genocidal war to occur in Israel in my name, before I come back and show you all what I nice fella I am" Jesus too....... Or even Ted Neeley.

Don't you just hate those "Jesus" movies where he never ever smiles? What kind of person would follow a person that never jokes or smiles...baah humbug. Everybody smiles and jokes. So, that couldn't be a real protrail anyway...Heck the bible said he had every temptation that man has and experienced it all to understand what people go though...So, with that in mind, he must had had sex or jacked off. If not, then he couldn't of experienced all that the human race did, but that's a no no to even mention that.....

Naughty naught me for saying this. lol

Jesus had fantasies. He had toooo. Yes he did...Hehe

BTW, I think he taught Karma. It's all Sowing and Reaping...and I like the happy Jesus movies anyway. Happy, happy, Joy, joy.

Also devil worshipers do sacifice animals and sometimes humans the same for witches who does the same thing.If that is not Violent then what is?

[list=1][*]That is not true.

[*]Even if it was, how does that make them any different than the people of the Old Testament who sacrificed animals and people to God?[/list]

Devil/God are the two sides of the same coin.

Reject one, you reject the other. Believe in one, accept the other.
The illusion of them being seperate is just that: An illusion.

Still. Goes to show how utterly rife with such horror, religion is, that even diametrically opposed factions within a belief system can be so different in so many ways, yet they can all still agree with sacrifice of living things to appease their god.....

....for God allegedly commanded it.

That was done a long time ago.No one does that anymore excert for the people I said before.

Animals were sacrificed in order to pay for a person's sin. Since Jesus came and sacrificed himself for everyone, no one has to sacrifice animals anymore.

He doesn't sound all that mean to me...

Gods before him did that too. How many gods does it take to take away the sin of the people?

Just one, as long as it's the right one.

That does not make one bit of difference as far as the point is concerned.

Yes, it is 2011, and people still believe in fairytales.

If a tradition of animal and human sacrifice is evidence that a religion is violent, then it is true for all religions with a tradition of animal and human sacrifice.

Untrue: People still kill humans for their version of god all the time.

9/11 was one such less recent, but more well known occasion.

Yeah, that and the crusades were on the top of my list as the anti-thesis of this thread's goal.

Fair play.
