I don't really go for the whole "Oh, I'm suffering" vibe. Was Jesus the first Emo?
Only if he really did come back and whine about it all afterwards.

Time and distance can make all kinds of things funny that wouldn't have been funny in the immediacy of the situation. Hence you get things like "Hogan's Heroes", "Springtime for Hitler" or Anakin Skywalker falling to the dark side*.

Oh I know. But I enjoyed the mental image of someone carrying arround a ID card to determines which youths were emo and which weren't. I envisioned it much like a kids in the hall sketch.Style evolves, just like everything else. I'm speaking more about the whole "I'm so sad and sensitive" thing.

Well, then, you are simply an emo wannabe, which is different from the emo posers who just dress emo but actually listen to ska.Well that isn't accurate, I have long hair, a beard, and I'm white, just like Jesus, and I like some emo bands.

So, it is possible for Jesus to be an emo wannabe. He'd be allowed to talk to the emos, offer some salvations, but wouldn't be invited to sit at thier table.
My studies are currently under peer review, submitted to the proceedings of the national academy of emologists.I would like to see your studies and genetic testing that lead to your emo cladistics.
Would Jesus be EMO and not emo?
BTW, here yah go DJJ..... http://www.myconfinedspace.com/watermark.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2007/05/jesus_supper_zombie.jpg
[Note this picture is funny, but should be viewed only by those with a sense of humor and who are not discussted by someone's lord Jesus Christ being eaten by zombies at the last supper (this is my flesh.... This is my blood..... These are my braaaaaaaains).]

Of course I would not expect you to recognize the difference, but there is a difference, , even on a subject as terrible as crucifixion, between making a joke or a play on words, and calling it funny in itself, wishing it on anybody, or advocating it in any way. Anyway, when you reported it, if you mentioned me by name, I hope that you also mentioned that it was my intention to give offense, because it was.
Rule 8 prevents me from expressing in fully descriptive language the contempt I have for your garbled ideas, your false prophecies, your hypocritical whining about remarks when you lard your posts with offensive, condescending, misdirected insults, your refusal to acknowledge any error, your mindless insistence that anybody who disagrees with you is false, godless and empty, duped by imagined conspiracies and doomed to some awful fate, which unlike crucifixion, you presumably find suitable and unexceptionable however cruel and arbitrary it might be.
So I will lay off the jokes, and simply say that I mean you offense because although I happen to agree to a point with your contention that churches are dangerous, I believe they are dangerous just to the extent that they behave as you do, preferring ludicrous delusions and imaginings to truth, arrogance to love, claptrap to considered faith, lies and name calling to rational discourse. You think yourself a prophet and a seeker of truth, but you would not recognize truth, wisdom or holiness if you tripped over it. You call yourself a lover of Jesus but you belong to the Prince of Lies. You think yourself a lover of Christ, but I see no evidence in your ratbag rants and distortions that you would behave any better toward him than toward anybody else, babbling texts like a Pharisee, just another voice from the rabble on Calvary.

There hasn’t been any good religion that as come out of the Middle East, (and for that matter a lot of other places to). Any religion that preaches that a so-called god has only one-way to its so-called heart always has nothing but problems. Also the idea of a so-called god has nothing but problems because people can make it anything they what is to be, have it say anything they what it to say, and back any agenda that they have. We see this now with the president, with him saying that he talks to this so-called god, which is just so ludicrous.So I will lay off the jokes, and simply say that I mean you offense because although I happen to agree to a point with your contention that churches are dangerous, I believe they are dangerous just to the extent that they behave as you do, preferring ludicrous delusions and imaginings to truth, arrogance to love, claptrap to considered faith, lies and name calling to rational discourse.
Wow, I've never seen anyone so full of themselves. So arrogant and hypocritical? Is hypocricy not a sin for your version of Jesus, or do those rules not apply to you?Yes you wanted to offend me and went way too far, and yet that is allowed.
But notice how the mob followed your bad example and parroted your words. This is exactly how mobs start, as non thinking people without consciences are easily swayed into jesting. mockery and then to violence.
Now you know the sliding slope of how the religious (or the conspiracy makers) can control the majority.
You have seen it here in person.
And you can now understand the whole trail and crucifixion of the Lord, because human nature is the same today.
Its shameful but that's probably the best bible study you guys and gals will ever EVER get. You are easily swayed into a mob frenzy and mentality.
And without consciences or standards, you just keep going and get worse and worse just to be OFFENSIVE.
I think DJJ just copared himself to Jesus. That's pretty bad hubris and blasphemy all at once. Someone report that to the mods, its offensive and a magnet for lightening bolts to any server storing such vile words.Yes you wanted to offend me and went way too far, and yet that is allowed.

Why are racist jokes moral? Why is being a false prophet moral? Why is perverting christianity to suite your own desires moral?
Nobody here is buying your mock-pious nonsense.
Mel Brooks once talked about what a powerful weapon laughter is. He said people asked him "How can you, a Jew, make light of something as horrible as the Nazis?" He replied that he could do far more damage to what Hitler stood for with ridicule than if he stood up and seriously lectured on the horrors of the holocaust.
