Re: Religion Thread: ...and suddenly, everyone's a theology scholar

Oh man, the liquor one even has the three wise men right.

D-mn. No, it doesn't, That's Cuervo, not Walker. I hadn't noticed that and man I wanted it to be right!

An oddity, I hardly drink any liquor at all but I knew every one of those labels in the small size image before I could read them.

I may have spent too much time in bars with hockey people.

Oh, yeah. You're right. Jose is when you add it to a Three Wise Men and then it's called The Four Horsemen.

Guy puts a nativity scene on front lawn with 2 Josephs and an infant Jesus.

Line crossed or acceptable?

I don't care.

I don't see any lines crossed. Christianity is highly metaphorical, and in addition to its humor, anything that challenges or teases convention has value. I can't imagine committed christians feel threatened by it.

Right now, they're too busy insisting on Merry Christmas and yelling about Starbucks holiday cup.

Beginning to hate people who tell me they "disagree." With what? We're not debating ice cream here.

Ranks right up there with "you made a choice." Like I would suddenly choose to have family and friends stop talking to me.

The more I look at it, the more I might join the Episcopalians. They have a lesbian preacher, all are genuinely welcome...

Jesus was God and so the Gospels trump. I can't imagine a scenario where those people are tracking with the Word.

Those Episcopalians sound good. What city do you live in? If you live in a major city, find some churches with young people in urban areas. Google is your friend. If you find the right community, they should care at a level that you don't typically find.

The Bible according to 5mn: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

So, what do we do with the other 1,000 or so pages?

This will seem like a hopelessly simplistic and open-ended question, 5mn, but what does that mean? Is the meaning traceable to the Council of Nicea?

In 20 words or less.

Didn't Pope John 23 tell us all to get along? Everyone can worship their own "god" and we can be happy?

Smart man that Pope
