It seems they all have 'Your Own Personal Jesus'.
I prefer Depeche Mode over messiahs though.

Which Jesus is real?

It's a fair bet he wasn't as good a commander as Cesare! 
Apostle Paul's retconned Christian Jesus is a fucking abomination.
Jesus was born, lived and died a Jew, and no amount of wishing to goodness is going to fix Paul's astonishing reimagining of Jesus. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Quote:Jesus was born, lived and died a Jew, Or not. The imaginary sky-daddy jesus seems to pre-date the Jew from Galilee story. Again, Richard Carrier's On The Historicity of Jesus discusses all the evidence, something you can never get a so-called xtian "scholar" to do.
I should revise that to read "Bible Jesus", the Jesus that the Christers profess to Believe in lest they be damned. And that Bible Jesus is clearly described as Jewish until Apostle Paul grotesquely exceeds his authority to just preach and then rewrites Jesus as someone He never was or could even imagine Himself to be.
LOL, and I thought Mormonism had enormous insuperable gestational flaws, Hell, the 'home brand', if you will, is catastrophically fatally flawed from literally the get go. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Yeah.... that's the way they went back and wrote the story.
It makes Joe Smith and his clusterfuck less original in execution too.
Sheesh, making it up as we go along for 2000 years, damn !! The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Given where he was born, Jesus would have to look middle-eastern. I'm not sure where this "white/black Jesus" thing comes from, except Europeans didn't want their savior to look more like a jew or a muslim than them.

Jesus, why is everybody so concerned about Jesus. He never turns up.
I would rather be concerned with those of us that bother to attend the party. 
Well, that's how messed up the mentality is. They don't even have the sense to be pissed at the guy who's supposed to have literally limitless access to free booze for any occasion, and holds out on everyone.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
--- There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views. |
