Re: Review a Book for Jesus!!

You seem to be the one in a muddle - go back and read the post again. I see deities as ways of reminding ourselves what it means to be a decent person. I have no need for them to dispense afterlife rewards and punishments like so much Pez.

So what you are is a chicken Atheist. You mask the cold truth of your beliefs in some pretty stories. Your claims on being a pagan are ludicrous since the real pagans held there false gods were real and they did judge people on their versus and virtues. Not that you would know but if you ever bother to crack open a book on mythology you would quickly learn that.

So now you have shown yourself to be a coward, fraud and ignorant is there any point in you posting here further?

Then what's the point of worshipping them at all? What is the use of a deity that is nothing more than a decent person - indeed, something less, for decent people can at least do decent deeds, whereas made-up powerless decent deities cannot?

The same point that it has always been - it amuses me.

Actually, I never said that I worship them. My paganism comes from the fact that I believe that we exist on a living planet, not a lifeless rock on which we were set down by God to do with as we please. We are A PART OF the life of the earth in the same way that our organs are a part of our life, not APART FROM it. Respect for the living earth IS paganism.

So Richard Dawkins is a pagan, then? I'm pretty sure he recycles, being the hellbound fool that he is. What about the demon Al-G'ore?

Ask them. I'm not the one who pretends to know what goes on in other people's souls.

As for me, respect for the living earth is central to my spiritual path. And yes, for me, recycling IS a religious observance.

Fine.
Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ. A truly beautiful portrayal of the human side of Jesus. In fact, Kazantzakis said that the writing of it strengthened his own faith in Jesus.

That's not much of a review.

Did you actually read it? Surely you have more to say than that.

I've read it several times, but I haven't re-read it recently. It's on my bookshelf; maybe I'll re-read it when I finish the book I'm reading now.
I've also seen Martin Scorsese's film version several times, and a copy of it is in my movie collection. Unfortuantely, my VCR has started eating video-cassettes, so I can't play any movies unless I have them on DVD, so I can't watch the movie again at the moment.
In addition to the fact that I haven't re-read it in a while, the book is a bit surreal, which makes it difficult to review, other than to say what I said before - that it's a beautiful portrayal of the human side of Jesus.

I had read part of that book... as much as I could stomach... and it do not surprise me that this godless ho had enjoyed readin' that smut. It be the inspiration for that godless Da Winky Code book. In it, Jesus marries that trollop Mary Magdalene and haves chillrens with her. He also disrespectful to God (his own DADDY!!) AND he be buddy-buddy with Satan - sound like what the Mormons believes! But that do not be the worst... the worst is... it depict... well, if any True Christian™ with a weak heart should be readin' this, it might be best if they stop right now. I'm warnin' y'all....














It depict Jesus and Judas as HOMERS! Oooooo LORD! I done got traumatized just thinkin' about it. I's gonna have to go spend some time in the prayer closet now.

This is yet another sign that Jesus hates you for your whoredoms. He has seen fit to cast demons into your VCR. Repent now, or next He'll curse your fig tree!

Mark 11:12-17
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Lateefah, thank you for warning us all what unGodly filth this butterfly-headed ho was trying to convince us to read!

Why, now that I've got that vile image in my mind, I too must rush to my prayer closet and put both my hands together, til it's purged from my mind's eye!

Jesus and Judas . . .

As for you, miss badassbuttflies, I've got my eye on you!

That's going to be a neat trick, since I don't have a fig tree.

You keep that up Jesus will give you a fig tree just to curse it! God can do that you know.

Not that any one would know if it was cursed with all the disgusting tree bothering you pagans do.

Or alternatively, Brother, he will curse all her other trees, especially those in the woods where she lumbers about skyclad cavorting with the goat-gods minions. Although, as you say, all the shrubbery within a ten mile radius has no doubt been humped to death already by she and her insatiably perverted companions.

Soory to once again crush your fantsasies, but I don't hump trees. I stick strictly to my own species.
