Here's my latest batch of replies in pretty green ink..-

Drfuzzy quote- "It's a book of fairy tales. Atheists see no evidence for the existence of any deity"
Some atheists are not so sure..

Vorlon13 quote- "I Like Them Big and Stupid

Lyrics-

When I need somethin' to help me unwind

I find a six foot baby with a one track mind

Smart guys are nowhere, they make demands

Give me a moron with talented hands

I go bar-hopping and they say last call

I start shopping for a Neanderthal.."


Here ya go mate-
"Ugh...me do not like dat Jesus man...ugh"

Ignoramus quote- "OP, I like Darth Vader, am I crazy?"
Call me picky, but I think I prefer Leia myself..

Simon Moon quote (re the Sermon on the Mount)- "What [Jesus] is saying here is, "Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't save money, don't store food for the winter, don't plan for retirement... live for today and trust that God will make everything work out. This is some of the worst advice in the entire sermon.."
Jesus was simply saying "Chillax and be ultra-kool ", but some people interpret it wrongly to mean "leave everything to God".
For examp I know a middleaged "christian" street preacher who won't lift a finger to help himself because he trusts 100% that "God will provide", and as a result he's got 2 failed marriages behind him because his wives got sick of him; he's been hauled up court twice for not paying his poll tax; he's had his electric, gas and phone cut off at various times for not paying his bills, and he pedals around on his bike after dark without lights! 
I told him to stop being so friggin sloppy-minded and get some organisation into his life, and reminded him of this verse-
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of selfdiscipline" (2 Tim 1:7), but he ignores it, so now I ignore him!


Mordant quote (also on the  Sermon on the Mount)-  "What I most certainly DID take from this was that if you mean well, try your best to do well, and trust god with what's beyond your powers, everything WILL be okay. When it wasn't, that was the beginning of the end for my relationship with Christian thinking."
Most Christians correctly interpret it to mean we shouldn't worry about anything and simply give life our best shot knowing that God has got our backs, and develop a mindset that helps us roll with the punches that life throws at us, it doesn't mean we'll never get socked.  That's why Christians are generally kool and unfazed, whereas non-religionists tend to be like wagons without springs, jolted by every pebble on life's road..

Inkfeather 132 quote- I personally don't think you're any more nuts for liking Jesus then you are for liking any other character from a book.
Davy Crockett was my boyhood hero and he was as flesh-and-blood as Jesus, he used to go around putting red indians and grizzly bears in their place, whereas Jesus used to go around putting the snooty priests and their lackeys in their place..
PS- me and my schoolpal Dave Theobold used to go around in our Davy Crockett outfits looking for renegade indians and grizzly bears but they were pretty thin on the ground in our sleepy english village..

Vorlon13 quote- BTW, which Jesus are we liking here?
The original Jesus, the Jewish one of Scriptures, sent by the Jewish God in fulfillment of Jewish Law and Jewish prophecy, to the Jewish people, to preach a perfected form of Judaism, assisted by 12 Jewish disciples, and conducting His ministry in the Jewish lands,
 -or-
the refurbished, rewritten, revised and reimagined Jesus, the Christian version the Apostle Paul felt was a little easier to sell to the masses ?
Paul's street cred was pretty good, he said- "Follow Jesus not me, I wasn't crucified for you"
Jesus was sent by God to bust the snooty priests stranglehold on the masses and the people soon cottoned on-
"Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers" (1 Peter 1:18 )
Below-
1- "Just you stick with me chum"
2- "Thanks JC, you're my main man"
3- "Hey kiddo, why do you talk to riffraff like him?"
4- "On yer bikes you dickheads!"

mh brewer quote- "I prefer the one that said the world would end approximately 2000 years ago, and then it didn't."
JC simply meant that his generation wouldn't pass away before seeing the establishment of Christianity on earth. Mission accomplished..
