scott_harpell Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 7, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt Jesus would approve of 'his' church nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badvoodoo Posted June 7, 2004 Share 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.

JoshK Posted June 8, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
