The tone here pissed me off the most. I love those who assume that Jesus (assuming he existed in the first place) never swore. The guy walked around the desert wearing sandals, and you're going to tell me he never swore? If he wasn't stubbing his toes on rocks, he had to deal with snakes and creepy crawlies. Do you really think they looked at his feet and said, "Oh, the son of God is before us. We should move/slither aside to offer him great berth"? They probably said, "AHHHH, a five-headed monster!" *bite/sting* At that point, I sincerely doubt Mr. Christ looked up at the heavens and calmly said, "Thank you, father, for allowing your creations to teach me about feeling since it makes me so alive. I am so thankful I do not need to worry about anti-venom." Hell, in the Bible itself, when Jesus walked into the church and saw people selling stuff, how much was he praying then?

My mom once pointed out, quite sagely I think, that if Jesus never sinned, never had any imperfections, he utterly failed to actually live as a human.

Personally, I think we should rewrite the bible so it's more true to the amount of swears that likely went on. We'll call it; "The Fucking Linguistically Correct Bible".

Luke 1:25-29 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel promptly broke his toe on a broken shard of pottery, stumbled and, upon reaching toward the furnace, burned his hand. Then did he shout, "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!" and then did Mary conceive.

If living as human was not a requirement, I do wonder what was the entire point of the Virgin Birth and all that. God just felt like showing off or something?
Of course, the entire concept of an omnipotent deity needing to fulfil requirements to accomplish something is ridiculous to start with, so there's that.

A girl I know posted this on facebook. gotta watch out for those rappers! Yeah, because all non-christian bands and music artists know they're going to hell and are trying to drag the youth down with them. It's a FUCKING SONG! Most modern rap sucks, but not for those reasons.

Come on. Really? I agree with you that circumcision is wrong, but stop being dumb.

I'm not sure I'd consider something a ritual, in a religious sense, if it serves some apparent and quantifiable real purpose.

Just a heads up: If a circumcision discussion arises from this, I'll split it off, close it, and maybe decapitate a couple of people and stick their heads on a fence post as a warning. Circumcision discussions never go anywhere good.

Whether or not you agree with circumcision, you've got to agree that whole metaphor was a fail.
