actually, I believe that it's a morality lesson on charity and nothing to do with the balance of yr bank account.

then again, don't ask me, I'm a voodoo-practicing heathen.

Nope, it is lesson in the truth that to become rich, to make a TON of money, there are many many decisions and actions that have to be made which are in stark contrast to the teachings of the Jesus.
One does not become a wealthy person by doing everything morally, at least not always.

bullshit. the man, if he existed, was a fuckin commie. everybody tries to weasel out of that fact.

[pbradley]

Communism entails the workers' ownership of the means of production and the redistrubition of wealth on a national scale.

Jesus what not a communist, nor was he a capitalist.

It is an erroneous attempt to derive a consistent socio-economic philosophy from the Bible.

[Rob Instigator]

methinks jesus was an anarcho-socialist!

[ni'k]

it suits capitalism to pitch jesus as a commie.

SINCE THE FUCKING IDIOT DECIDED TO LET HIMSELF GET CRUCIFIED.

wtf. what kind of ego trip was he on? i'm the son of god? its all part of a plan? not the type of self image that pays off well in a "im about to be fucking crucified if i dont run away" situation.

be subservient, suffer. as long as you dont think about revolution. you are all guilty, he died for your sins. i know that makes no sense but just feel bad about it and set your limits no further than stupid self sacrifice. since jesus DIED and none of us are good enough to come close to what he did that must mean communism is impossible.

christians love him because they like to feel even the feel good altruism and basic moralisms of the worlds first self help guru is an ethical dimension too far for their sinful selves. no, better to just feel guilty and be as corrupt as you like, you can get forgiven anyway.
old sandals n' miracles was romes greatest ally.

(in the fictional world were any of it actually happened.)

I bet Jesus was killed because he preahce dthe eradication o roganized religion, and the powers that are therefore given to supposedly godly people called "rabbis/priests"

that's a serious broad-brush yr using to paint with.

keep believing in shit that will keep you down!

actually....hold that thought...did you just use the bible against me....again?

eloh el.

I'm more certain that Jesus was executed for being touted as the "King of the Jews" and nothing more. All of the son of God and self-sacrifice came later and I highly doubt Jesus was a threat to organized Judaism at the time. Certainly they would be equally as opposed to the Herodian Dynasty, Herod Antipas' father having been elected King of the Jews by the Roman Senate.

Jesus was a popular figure among the Jewish people to replace the client king from Roman and, thus, was executed. Upon his cross was written the acronym INRI for "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews."

Really, it's a minor footnote in Roman history.

I wonder what King Solomon looked like "on paper".

HELLFIRE!

this whole arguement was designed by The Church to encourage poor people to give up that last loaf in tithe.

brilliant that it even work on The Intigator. hahah

[ni'k]

i bet jesus didnt exist.

or if he did he was just some schizo tramp on too much red wine.
i bet he was out pissed with his mates in the desert and they only had 1 bottle of booze left in their sack, but they were all shitfaced and their double vision caused them to imagine there was like 3 bottles, and jesus made some crack about how he did that based on them winding him up previous about how he was such a fuckin miracle worker. and then they drank that and had run out completely but by pure luck jesus happened to find a bottle of vino in some obscure place, and they all laughed and it got exaggerated.

then one of them said "fuck me jesus, if you're a such a fuckin miracle worker that ya can find a bottle of wine some cunt has dropped off his horse out here in the desert why can't ya find me a fuckin woman that doesnt run at the sight of me! ahahaha!" and then one of them said "fuck me lads (they have irish accents now) if thats your fuckin miracle worker we'll all fuckin doomed, an alco arab who loves his prossies?" and they all thought this was fuckin hilarious. and they always went on about jesus the holy dude, who could magically replenish your booze after you drank it, and when jesus got crucified for knocking up some roman guards daughter they talked fondly of their dead friend, and hazy memory and embellishment created a story of oul' jesu, the most bitchinest bro to drink with, when that dude was around you were allways in the drink. and then some other idiot retold the story only it was like "yeah they say if you partied with this jesus dude you were GARUANTEED not to run out of booze, some always came along somehow. then that got retold as some mystic thing, and it went on and on as chinese whispers till he was turning fuckin water into wine.

Of course it is a broad brush. it is a generalization.

Did Socrates exist?
Did Nero exist?
Did anyone exist before TV was invented?

Socrates and Jesus knew the secret to a long-lasting legacy.

1. Be massively influential but never write anything for yourself and leave the task to others with suspicious agendas.
2. ???
3. PROFIT, and centuries of philosophical and religious strife

I want to know which one of The Host of Angels is responsible for accounting and does the potentiality for damnation decrease with inflation?

is this measured by net or adjusted worth? are people with fancy number-monkeys able to write-off excesses in order to secure salvation?

It's not about writing their words themselves.
Homer did it and he is at least as famous as Socrates (but less than Jesus).

Even then, there was no recipe for fame and posterity.
