Does it matter if a fairy tale has become some some miss guided folks faith? Matters not a jot to me as all, ALL organised religions are evil and self serving. God is nothing more than a figment of the metaly ill.
Besides, Lors of the Rings is more beliveable than that badly writen collection of old myths.

Has anyone even posted anything serious in this thread?
As far as i can tell, thats the only insult so far..... Thanks for calling me mentally ill, i suppose i should get my self to a hospital and get my self checked out...

Well, as a plaguebearer of nurgle you might steer clear of hospitals. You never know what you might catch, and that whole plaguebearer things means you'll never get rid of it, like a bad rash, or maybe the US legal system.

Yeah, your probably right. I'll just have to take Ribon Fox's word for it....

Ironic you should say that since Lord of the Rings is filled with Christian metaphor

EDIT: I tried being serious, cause Theology actually interests me, but no one else wanted to talk about it so I resorted to making bad jokes (I have no shame saying I have no idea of Pete Haines is )

Ture it is, but, its better writen and Gandelf isn't portryed as the son of god, he is a Maina sim....ermmm, never mind

Edit: Fixy quotey catchy monkey

I like that. I don't know what it means, but I like it. I'll just have to go on faith.

He does however appear to come back from the dead.... (or does come back from the dead, i'm not sure, haven't read the books yet, and i can't remember what he says in the film)

The other thread (Hawkins one) is slightly more serious.
Although Frazzled, is of course laying down the law there as well

True dat. And now a read from Paul's phone call to the electric company:
"Heyeth thee, what giveth? Like all God's children I have brought to thee thine coinage, so that thouest may blessed me and bath me in soft light. Zbut thou hast spurned the Word of the Lord and demandeth 50 more drakhmas. The Lord hath spoken to me, and he chastened me to spread thee word unto thee and that word is to sucketh it and turnst on the power lest thouest be brought before a Higher Power on the 13th of August !"

Do you know the true story of Paul?

You Saul, the XO of the Galactica, before it turns out he was one of the Final Five and had a revalation on the road to Earth?

And some say former Pharisees can't write. HA!

Yeah, thats the truth. None of this nonsense of turning blind on the road to Damascus after persecuting Jesus' followers. What ever was Matt Ward thinking making that up for?

Well, you know what they say makes you go blind...


... Staring into the sun. Obviously... *shifty eyes*

Exactly.

Thats leads onto another question....
Did he have big feet? 'cos you know what that means......



Edit: Not that its relevant at all...

The Crucifixion happened between 30-35 AD.

Screen shot or it didnt happen

But in all seriousness of course if it happened it happened between 30-35 A.D if jesus is said to have died at 33 and we mark our calender starting on the date of his birth.

On the contrary - bigger feet mean bigger sandals, and bigger sandals could mean more expensive sandals. How could he afford to go walking around all over the place without a proper job if he has to keep replacing expensive giant sandals all the time?!?

[/proof there is no god]

I think you have just won the battle for the Atheists. Unless Sir Frazzled has something to contest this?

or its proof Jesus wasn't a carpenter, but a really a shoe salesman!!! The world is turned upside down I say!

This is all getting a bit to serious now!!!

And we still don't have confirmation on the rumours Matt Ward wrote Codex: Bible

Oh I think thats confirmed, yes indeedy. Luckily there aren't any CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT noted in the Bible. Because if Jesus had a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT believe you me, things would have gone differently.

I heard that after Jesus was crucified he was recast in resin and was much more expensive than original metal Jesus.

For a start he would have been able to transport way more than 12 disciples in his CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT if he had a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to transport things in.

The author of the article quoted the author of Forged

"“There were a lot of people in the ancient world who thought that lying could serve a greater good,” says Ehrman, an expert on ancient biblical manuscripts"

There are a lot of people in the modern world who think that lying can serve a greater good, like politicians, special interest groups, Al Gore, News Channels, etc. Unfortunately, their greater good seems to be exactly that; their greater good. If anyone had read Procopius' Secret History, this scribe from the Byzantine Court offers up a bunch of accounts of heavy editing of the New Testament by the Emperor and his wife, who were basically a homicidal maniac and a nymphomaniac. Lamentably in my opinion, most people can't make out the difference between Churchianity and Chrisitianity. Christ's teachings are super easy; Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you and be excellent to each other.

What happens if you don't type CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in capital letters?

The resin thing makes sense, where his disciples re-sculpted at the same time? Or just left for a few months in the poor old metal castings....

Indeed. With a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT he could have transported the disciples, their friends, the Superfriends, and a recalcitrant Pontius Pilate, who, if truth be told was a swell guy and man about town. Woops got to go.

Well to be properly portrayed as in the thread discussing the merits of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, everything about the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has to be capitalized. Its that awesome.

Pontius Pilate was a pretty cool guy, shame he got such bad press. Bloody journalists....

rodgers37 wrote:What happens if you don't type CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in capital letters?

The first rule of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is you don't talk about CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

No, they were released in plastic sets of 5, meaning you had to buy 3 packs and do some conversion work. Luckily you got 3 spare in case you messed up.

And also, for clarification, was Dash of Pepper around back in the day? Did he beat Jesus?

Dash and Jesus got into a rules argument which lead to Jesus storming off and saying he wasn't going to come back for the second round...
