    LOL, I didn’t know God’s agent is Scott Boras. That explains the huge deal he has.

    I would have sworn that the thumpers would thump in here and start quoting from scripture against this cartoon that dares to poke fun at the christian god…..

    Yeah but my God can beat up their god.

    grazer, their god IS your god. The God of Abraham/Ibrahim…

    Of course, it raises the question, if God is omnipotent, who would win if He fought Himself?

    It ain’t the same God. The Muslim God “begets not, and is not begotten.” The Christian God begets and is begotten.

    It’s the same God, you just disagree whether He’s in the begettin’ business.

    The God Christ spoke of (which may or may not have been a self-reference) was the God of the Jews. The God of the Jews is the God of Abraham, and of his Children. The Jews claim descent from Abraham through Isaac, the Moslems through Ishmael.

    The modern Jews still hold that their God didn’t do no begetting.

    Same God, all the way around.

    I thought the Christ claimed only that he was the Son of Man. Others called him the Son of God.

  13. fritzoid

    Well, at various points he refers to “my Father” as well as “our Father”, and I think that the Gospel of John (which is believed to have been written as much as 100 years after the others) has more references to Jesus claiming divinity than Matthew, Mark or Luke.

    And I recently read that the term “Son of Man” actually originated in non-Hebraic (maybe Mithraist?) traditions. But I don’t have access to my sources right now.

    Hey everyone, thanks for the info. Now I won’t have to go to church. I got my sermon here.

    If they actually TAUGHT this stuff in church, the world would be a better place.

    if god made everything, then who made god?

    rricchterr, whether you believe there’s a god or not, sooner or later you hit the unanswerable question. If all creation stems from God, how did God come into being? Likewise, even if we trace all existence back to the Big Bang I don’t believe we’ll ever have a way to show what existed (if the term has any meaning) BEFORE the BB. The “why” of existence, as I see it, isn’t a question of “purpose” (I don’t believe there IS an inherent purpose, as such), but of “process”. Why is there SOMETHING rather than NOTHING? I don’t think we’ll EVER be able to answer that.

    I heard a radio commercial this morning of a little boy asking his father about the Sun, and every to answer the father gave (beginning I think with “Because the Sun is millions of miles away”), the boy would follow with “Why?” (Because if the Earth were closer it would burn up, because the Sun is very hot, because stars are made of exploding gases), until finally the father had to admit “I don’t know.” An astrophysicist would be able to extend this pattern farther than the father in the commercial could, but sooner or later he too would have to finish with “I don’t know.” A theologian might follow a different path, but ultimately would arrive at the same place.

    If God is all-powerful, how can he create something more powerful than all-powerful? He is the end of the line.

  21. fritzoid

    According to some Gnostic theologies, the being who created the Universe is actually an insane entity (the Demiurge) who only THINKS he’s all-powerful. That’s why Creation is imperfect.

    But the Demiurge is actually the offspring of the Supreme Unknowable God, who exists outside the created universe and takes no direct interest in it. The process of Gnosis is the revelation of knowledge of the unknowable, bypassing the Demiurge.

    As you might imagine, there’s the possibility Gnostic readings of Judeo-Christian lore, which sees the Demiurge as the God of Genesis, who punishes Adam and Eve not so much for disobedience but for trying to obtain knowledge/Gnosis. In the Ophitic heresies, the serpent in the Garden is actually associated with Christ, as mankind’s benefactor, in starting our First Parents on the road to true knowledge.

    fritz,

    in terms of responsibility,
    you, as l gather, are correct…

    personally, l’m not hitting on what would be “why”

    yet rather,

    when you take an effable look at what is,
    how can you believe….

    or rather how can you side with negativaty…

    regardless of who may have initiated it.

    there is a movie,
    the final countdown,
    (sorry about the mix-up earlier)

    in it Martin Sheen says
    this country of ours, is ours to defend,
    past, presant, and future…

    by the same token, when you step outside the box,
    you are not to succumb,

    for the lack of a better word

    you are not to be run over, f—-n period.

    You can study your whole life and completely miss the point.

    there are influences,
    with mean tools.

    take your thoughts,
    interject other thoughts,
    real mean…

    bottom line is they are alot like us,
    in many ways,

    the problem is they
    are control freaks…

    the more you study religion, the more likely you are to become confused…

    that and you become a walking zombie in that you live for the afterlife….

    of course this is only my opinion,
    what do l know…
