51. Do you only read comic books?

Because that's the impression I get.

Try to do a modicum of research on other religions, and crack a god-damned reference book or two, for crying out loud.

Highlight:

A familiar, and very old, observation. [View all] rug Apr 2015 OP

Jesus died for your sins, not mine. Cartoonist Apr 2015 #1

That is either an idiosyncratic thought or you have none. rug Apr 2015 #2

Hi, pot Cartoonist Apr 2015 #3

No, that is mainstream Christian theology. rug Apr 2015 #4

So quoting a centuries old book Cartoonist Apr 2015 #7

No. The idiosyncracy was the reslt of your misunderstanding of the subject. rug Apr 2015 #10

you are still in your sins. Cartoonist Apr 2015 #19

And you are . . . . ? rug Apr 2015 #20

In contrast, bvf Apr 2015 #5

Glad you agree. rug Apr 2015 #6

Paul was a bigot. Cartoonist Apr 2015 #8

Name-calling and labeling closes a bigot's mind the fastest. rug Apr 2015 #11

Know ye, Paul was a bigot. Cartoonist Apr 2015 #18

I don't think you know what bigotry is. rug Apr 2015 #21

Jesus Cartoonist Apr 2015 #22

Yes he did speak to that effect. But that particular phrase is attributed to Peter. rug Apr 2015 #29

Has humanity changed that much? Cartoonist Apr 2015 #32

I don't think so. rug Apr 2015 #35

The downtrodden Cartoonist Apr 2015 #38

Well, I don't think you'll find that the oppressed are free of bigotry becase they're oppressed. rug Apr 2015 #39

White Southern sharecroppers? okasha Apr 2015 #45

Wrong century nt Cartoonist Apr 2015 #53

Women and gay people were subjected to discrimination, even by the poor, in the first centry CE. rug Apr 2015 #54

How are the more recent downtrodden and oppressed okasha Apr 2015 #60

Like I said earlier Cartoonist Apr 2015 #69

You're right, but that doesn't respond to the question. okasha Apr 2015 #73

Your question? Cartoonist Apr 2015 #81

"Right field?" okasha Apr 2015 #85

. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #86

Well, bvf Apr 2015 #9

You can call it what you like but I'd have my observation skills calibrated first. rug Apr 2015 #12

That is either an idiosyncratic thought or you have none. bvf Apr 2015 #13

No, it's dismay at your equating it to zombies and expecting credence. rug Apr 2015 #14

If you believe phil89 Apr 2015 #15

Sorry, your judgment of morality doesn't hold much water. rug Apr 2015 #23

A zombie is a corpse revived by a supernatural power. bvf Apr 2015 #17

You know as little about zombies as you do theology. rug Apr 2015 #25

Still haven't found a dictionary, I see. bvf Apr 2015 #33

Ah, ad hominems! I acept your surrender. rug Apr 2015 #34

Your complete disinterest bvf Apr 2015 #41

Lol! Kudos on two blunders in one sentence. rug Apr 2015 #42

I missed you. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #43

Same here friend. rug Apr 2015 #44

You are so much better at arguing then I am. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #46

I did, too. okasha Apr 2015 #47

I'm scanning some of the old threads. rug Apr 2015 #49

You did a great job. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #50

Thanks to you both, but it was in a small way. okasha Apr 2015 #70

some of our friends in here either have me on ignore or have chosen not to respond to me anymore. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #72

There are a couple who get pretty quiet okasha Apr 2015 #75

Yes that is true. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #77

Do you only read comic books? bvf Apr 2015 #51

As soon as you learn the difference between a zombie, an avatar, a unicorn and a Messiah. rug Apr 2015 #52

Educate me on the difference, then. bvf Apr 2015 #55

"crack a god-damned reference book or two, for crying out loud." rug Apr 2015 #58

So in other words, bvf Apr 2015 #62

We don't as Christians call him a Zombie and find it offensive to call him such. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #63

You find other religions offensive? bvf Apr 2015 #67

No but calling Jesus a Zombie is offensive. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #68

Look up the word "zombie" and explain to me bvf Apr 2015 #83

I know what the definition is and I can tell you the modern walking dead definition comes to mind. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #84

I think you're making the same mistake bvf Apr 2015 #87

That maybe true about the definition but it is still offensive. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #88

Save yourself the trouble. Vodou won't rescue your from your flailing. rug Apr 2015 #71

Excuse me? bvf Apr 2015 #82

No, let's stick to my actual words. Try again. rug Apr 2015 #66

"A zombie is a corpse revived by a supernatural power." bvf Apr 2015 #74

Simple. You haven't demonstrated the accuracy of your definition. rug Apr 2015 #76

You're the one who said you didn't need a dictionary. bvf Apr 2015 #79

But indeed the tomb is empty! hrmjustin Apr 2015 #16

I like what precedes and follows that passage. rug Apr 2015 #26

On the ressurection? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #28

Yes. And on faith in the Resurrection. rug Apr 2015 #30

Just read it and yes it is. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #31

Yes, it is. Faith can be very real and also futile. Sound and fury as the writer said. pinto Apr 2015 #24

He lays out the heart of it right there. rug Apr 2015 #27

I find it suggestive that Paul was in an argument over whether the dead are raised, Htom Sirveaux Apr 2015 #36

I'm not following you. If he was resurrected the tombe would be empty, mention or no. rug Apr 2015 #37

But according to the gospels, the tomb was an identifiable place. Htom Sirveaux Apr 2015 #40

That's an interesting point. rug Apr 2015 #48

Thing is, we don't know what Paul knew. okasha Apr 2015 #56

In fact Paul did not seem to know much about Jesus' life at all. longship Apr 2015 #64

he didn't edhopper Apr 2015 #57

I don't do haiku. rug Apr 2015 #59

your OP was a series of questions edhopper Apr 2015 #61

You should have kept reading the passage. rug Apr 2015 #65

thank you for taken care of all that edhopper Apr 2015 #78

Your last sentence reminds me of a joke. rug Apr 2015 #80

that's juth thilly. edhopper Apr 2015 #89
