    Now that's a superb question, which has amused me no end !!! :D

    If I was religious, I might answer it, but as God (all gods) is born from mans' lack of understanding of the world around us and how we came into being, I won't.

    :D

    well no he sneaked into a woman's house. Raped her with some celestial version of rohypnol, got her pregnant, got a minion to break the news to her, paid no child support, didn't bother with his son for years whilst he bossed the world about then let him die.

    Sounds like a Jeremy Kyle case to me :twisted:

  • He didnt even buy his Son a bike when he was a kid did he?

    Don't be silly, you can't leave a baby Jesus alone to deal with the all-powerful underworld magic of the puncture fairy - he wouldn't have stood a chance!

    Good point, it would have made it very easy for him to be lulled over to Lucifers point of view, I do like to think though that our Saviour would always have been a roadie and not an MTB rider so Lucifer can suck a fat one.

    Joseph always seemed like a decent bloke to me.

    Imagine you come home and your (supposedly virgin) partner tells you they're pregnant. Imagine your outrage. Turns out she hasn't been messing about at all. It was an angel!

    What a relief...

    If God had given Jesus a bike, would it have been Shimano, Campag, or SRAM?

    slightly OT, why is it that Easter ( the death of the son of god) cannot be pinned down to one specific date, yet there were hundereds of followers of christ as well as people there documenting his passage through life.
    BUT his birthday is a fixed date yet all that were there were a mean old pub landlord and a few farm yard animals, yes they were joined by six men ( OT OT this in it's self is strange, did wise men and kings go round in nomadic gangs and beat each other up with gifts they just happened to be bearing), but what was the gap between birth and the arrival of said suspicious single men looking for a child of dubious parentage.
    So how can we be sure that chrimble

    sorry ramble over, just wondered
    Back on topic, it seems a bit egotistical to sacrifice your son so your own ideals can exist, but the we are dealing with a man who put Adam and Eve on earth and told them not to touch the forbiden fruit, whereas anyone who has children knows this is like saying please you must touch that

    It could be to do with the story that he died, then was alive, then disappeared.
    Maybe this created confusion and in the end he was regisered as missing, no one could confirm the actual date of death :wink:

    It was more likely to have been Biggus Dickus, surely.

    Serious question? Just in case it is:

    The date of Easter was settled upon by the First Council of Nicaea in AD325. I don't know much (anything!) about the calendar used in those times, but they decided Easter should be celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox, so it moves around. Never before March 22nd, never after April... the... something or other...

    None of this happened, Judas was crucified instead of Jesus who was taken alive to Heaven by Gabriel, Michael, Rafael and Azrael according to Chapters 216 and 217 of the Gospel of Barnabas.

    Dunno, but one of his first miracles was removing a stuck seatpost.

    they must be proof of religion because every time I see a pair I think 'Jesus, they're stupid'
