This pissed Jesus off so he reincarnated himself as Hitler. Throughout his life he aspired to become a painter until one day he was rejected. Then he remembered that he was Jesus and said "**** you, I'm a dragon!" and went about killing Jews for blaspheming his name all those years.
So really Adolf Hitler is Jesus, and he didn't commit genocide, he exacted his godly revenge upon heretics!

So yeah.

Plus, Mary was a virgin...
So erm... HOW did she get pregnant if she was a virgin?

Lol, I love when people say stuff like that. "If she was a virgin, how'd she get pregnant? She was prolly raped by a Romand soldier." I mean, god is god, he can do whatever the **** he wants. If he wanted Virgin Mary to be pregnant, then *******'t *snaps fingers* she's pregnant!

The people who say that aren't stupid, they merely don't believe in god, but do believe that a man named Jesus existed. It's a theory that Mary got raped, and didn't tell anyone. It all depends on how much you see as history and how much you see as religious myth.

Actually... the bible clearly states that Mary and Joseph never had sex before Jesus was born. Actually, it does say that Mary was a virgin (modern day term) in the bible. Josheph found out that Mary was pregnate with Jesus before they were married. He was troubled by this and thought Mary was unfaithful to him. Thats when God visited Josheph in a dream and told him that Mary hadn't been unfiathful to him and that it was a work of God or something like that. So Joseph stayed with Mary and they never did anything until Jesus was born and they got married.

Even if that is the case, which I don't believe due to the nature of the bible itself, do you honestly believe that two horny teenagers had never done it?

Well dude, you can't exactly look at them as two horny teenagers. God wouldn't pick "two horny teenagers" to give birth to his son and raise. Joseph and Mary were prolly really mature and upstanding people. Respectable, even for their age. And think about it too, back then it was a lot different.
Plus, look at a lot of other modern relationships. I know people that have some sexual as hell relationships, but they don't **** like jackrabbits. They don't even ****. Teens get a bad rap, we don't all go off having sex with people just cuz we're horny if even we do have sex.

The problem is you guys are taking the word of the translated english bible as fact. Do you know how many inconsistencies there are within the bible not only due to the changing times and its original context, but because of the translation? Due to the fact that every word is not in every language, they often would make it "close enough". If you take every word of the bible as concrete fact, the entire idea of the bible itself would fall apart.

True, I get what you're saying Moose, and jsut for the record. I wasn't calling anyone stupid. So hopefully no offense was taken.
What I meant to say was, I myself don't know exactly if I believe in god, but if he does exist, I understand that he'd be capable of anything. I mean, if YOU were the creator of the Universe, you'd be able to bend the rules a bit too if you wanted.

Maybe we dont in our society. Back then, it was perfectly acceptable to get married and have sex at 10. Maybe they had sex but Mary just hadn't gotten pregnant. How do you know God wouldn't pick two 'horny teens'? Are you telling me you have the ability to understand and comprehend the thoughts of God?

No, 'two horny teens' would be a sin in mans eyes. Its like how being gay is a 'sin' yet its no where in the bible. 'Sins' were all determined by the church, not by God.

*sigh*, having sex before marraige is a sin, it says such in the bible (and yes, the original version says this as well). We know that marry and joseph weren't married at this time, and thus it was a sin. Maybe if you would have actually studied it at some point you would know this.
Where exactly are you getting all your 'information'?

YOU CANNOT SAY WHAT SINS ARE TO GOD. All you can say is what the church thinks what God thinks, not what he actually think. :violin:

Well as Drace pointed out, it's supposed to be guideline, not a way to live.
You guys seem to know alot more about the bible than I do, and there's been something on my mind. Near the beginning, in all the versions I've read, God says let man be in "our" image. Is he talking about himself d'you reckon, as more than one person, or was there (Wooo) Loads of gods? Like a race?

Prove it. As it has been pointed out here before, the bible is mainly about interpreatations. I think the bible is more than just a guideline. You can't prove that it was just a guideline just as I cannot prove that it was more than that.

"Our" refers to the three parts of god (father, son, and holy spirit). And by image, it doesn't mean that we 'look' like god does, but rather that when we were created, we were (like god) holy and without sin. Interperate that how you want.
According to The Bible ... The Bible does not discuss not eating meat.
Not eating meat on Friday's during Lent, and not eating between meals on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are symbolic measures that were created by the Catholic Church.
Now, why can we not eat meat, but we can eat fish? I have been researching this, and from what I have determined thus far, is that this dates back to when the Catholic Church owned many ports in the Mediterrian Sea, and they got a cut of the money from people eating fish. Therefore, if "you eat any meat besides fish on Fridays (because pre Vatican II, it was on ALL Fridays, not just during Lent) it will be a sin" would raise money for the Church. Now, like I said, I am still researching this part, but the first two paragraphs of this are established fact (well, as well established as anything involving religion is ... there's a reason it's called FAITH)
according to the bible what meat are u alowed to eat on good friday?

No, it is not. It is NOT more than a guideline. The bible is a guideline just as the Koran and those of the other religions. They´re a way of life in which you can take example of, not live life like. That would be foolish.
You impose to much on hard facts and nothing on interperation.
Again, any laws not made through the commandments are laws purposed and interperated by the church.

Watch Dogma. There's a sopt where Serendipity discusses why God was always a man, and say that its because the wtriters were men, they interpreted it as they wanted, thus God being a man. The bible itself says that man is imperfect, whats to say the imperfect writers who channeled him imperfectly copied his words?
If God comes to speak to a million people at a giant square and it´s caught on several tapes and live tv and he says the bible is more than a guideline, THEN I´m willing to give you your right. But God has not done anything like that.

In the Bible there are a few stories where he does just that. I personally like the one where God sets a bunch of wet logs on fire with a huge towering pillar to prove to a bunch of heretics He exists. I don't have the reference offhand (I was never that good of a Bible student) but I'll find it if you want.
Think about it though. Even of God could appear to us (the Bible makes various references that looking at His face means death, but we'll skip that for now) and was caught by major news networks, you'd have millions, maybe billions of skeptics. Some sort of elaborate hoax, they would say. Government-religio conspiracy to restore the faith. You can fake anything with computers, some would point out, and it's true enough these days. Not actually God, others would claim. Who REALLY knows what God should look like?
So what would that prove? It would prove nothing to people that don't want to see it.

Now, back to the original cause of this religious decussion; Jesus is a Nazi.

Wow, I love being totally ignored. When it says God visited the people in the Bible, it was a STORY. People of ancient times we're interested in the FACT, but rather the STORY. Therefore the bible is full of stories, not fact.
The Jews are God's 'chosen' people. Not that this explains why God let them get killed by Nazis, or why He let His own son get killed by Romans.
