scott_harpell Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 christ was a weirdo that's for sure. the love one another thing is fine but the idea that if the tree does not give fruit you should cut it down seems somewhat over-utilitarian? fortunately christ is not the be all and end all of philosophers. Obviously the idea of a metaphor is lost on the mind of a pragmatist. Quote
Dru Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 sure its a metaphor but the underlying idea is symptomatic of one of the causes of the currently ongoing mass extinction. Quote

slothrop Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Scott, you're talking with Jesus?! Can you ask him to please reply to my emails? Quote
scott_harpell Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 Scott, you're talking with Jesus?! Can you ask him to please reply to my emails? Yes I am. Daily. I don't think Jesus is...wired. His favorite medium is telepathy. Quote
badvoodoo Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Every time I see a homeless mentally insane person on the street, I think of Reagan and how he closed so many of the institutes that provided care for these people. I think we've already covered your conversations with jesus, scott. Quote
JoshK Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Jesus...the world's greatest salesman. Isn't there some book by that title? "Christianity and Communism...both perfect ideas on paper, and utter failures in the real world" - my late, great grandfater. Quote
slothrop Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Well, my telepather seems to be broken, but my computer works. Does that mean I'll never hear from Jesus? I have many burning spiritual questions. Quote
scott_harpell Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 Jesus was the World's first Socialist. How the German protestants ever came to think that capitolism was God's plan, I will never know. Quote
scott_harpell Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 I'm drunk and I can't find my horse Jesus makes stout wine eh? Quote
Fat_Teddy Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Every time I see a homeless mentally insane person on the street, I think of Reagan and how he closed so many of the institutes that provided care for these people. It is a fact. Well, at least we get to the truth of the matter. You're pissed because you got put out on the street. Quote
Dru Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 PLEASE try to stay on topic. This thread is about Jesus Christ, Socialist now! Quote

Stonehead Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Christ and AntiChrist http://articles.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0MKY/is_9_27/ai_108881880 Pope fears Bush is antichrist, journalist contends - Church - journalist Wayne Madsden - Brief Article According to freelance journalist Wayne Madsden, "George W Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to 'evil doers,' in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations--the anti-Christ." --snip-- Madsen contends that "Bush is a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."

JoshK Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I guess my take is yes, he was a lousy prez, but there is still no reason to celebrate the guy dying. That should be saved for certain select individuals: hitler, stalin, osama, castro, shrub. Quote
