14. That's nothing, I've seen Jesus's face in 8 or 10 pieces of toast and at least 6 scrambled eggs.

3. And ... almost no one remembers Jesus between the ages 3 and 32.
Just what is he hiding?

4. The lack of Jesus' body is PROOF that he ascended into Heaven
Somebody is bound to say that in full sincerity :crazy:

39. He lives within my heart!
Not all Christians are fundies, not all Christians are Republicans, not all Democrats are atheists. I find the man Jesus worthy of my praise and worship, I am a new age Christian, a believer in reincarnation, Buddhism, Global warming, I value the real living breathing child of God any day over the unborn, I am straight, but not narrow, I offer my help to the poor, I live in sin, I protest wars, I am a humanitarian, a tree hugging lover of life.

Archangel Michael protects me, Jesus watches over me, along with all the ascended masters, because I believe they do, and what I believe is the reality for me.

On the face of the entire earth, there could not be anyone, no not one, happier, healthier,nor more satisfied than me.

I am considered to be an intellectual, non-delusional. This is 'What Is' for me. Thank you for reading, Love, Darlene

5. This Facebook post is up for an award!
Best/most original gratuitous nonsense dig on Christians/religion - for the week....!
The winner will be the hero to dark basement hand-wringers the world over who mark each day with anti-religion posts all over the Internet landscape.
The final vote, if tied, will be decided by Bill Maher live on his HBO show later this week.

6. Osama will begin appearing to the doubting deathers--they'll touch the scar above his left eye and
yet, they shall still disbelieve.

8. Or for that matter, the (previous) lack of a long form birth certificate
It's weird how people can believe in the existence of all kinds of things that people KNOW don't exist like elves, unicorns, and eskimos and can't observe with any of their senses but suddenly become skeptical of things that there is plenty of proof for (i.e. global warming). I guess their ability to have "faith" in something is, like with most other things, selective. :shrug:

Everyone knows Tupac and Biggie are the "real issue".

They have faith in their god, but not in their government.

20. How about they didn't need proof of weapons of mass destruction?
Edited on Wed May-04-11 05:47 PM by Raschel
It seems like a better analogy, plus I think mocking Christianity is very intolerant.

33. The question you should be asking yourself is why you feel justified mocking teabaggers,
but you feel that mocking certain other groups is intolerant.

40. You should be asking yourself why you feel teabaggers are equivalent to religious groups.
Would it be 'consistent' to be tolerant of KKKers as well? :eyes:

41. It's funny you should mention the KKK, given their faith affiliation.
Why are religious groups more special than political groups?

23. There is plenty of physical evidence, doubters.
There are enough pieces of the true cross still in existence to build a barn, and crucifixion nails melted down would start a shortline railroad.

that said that 40% of americans think the world was created 6000 yrs ago and we co-existed with the dinosaurs. But then again alot of them believed in a bumbling bush!:smoke:

See? To accept fanciful claims about JC, all you need to do is accept another gigantic whopper that explains the lack of evidence.

42. Gay Civil Union in the Bible!
David, son of Jessie, before he killed the giant Goliath, before he became King, before he met Bathsheba, made a covenant with prince Jonathan, because they loved each other Read the book of 1Samuel up to the 1st chapter of 2Samuel, and or read this website I made and outlined all pertinent verses

http://angel2shine.lbbhost.com/daj.html

IMHO - Love is a gift from God blessing any marriage. David got in trouble with the Lord over Bathsheba, not Jonathan. Namaste Darlene :kick:
