I'm no Biblical scholar, but I think that Jesus the man taught that we should all love each other. Even you **** homos.
I love you, SK.
I know! It would actually make a great sci-fi movie with a little adaptation here and there to avoid offending the Christians. Hey, but it's a whole lot less nutty than the mormon stuff. I never really paid much attention to the LDS's until Romney, but holy shit!houndawg wrote:death dealer wrote: Actually, modern Evangelical Christianity is heavily into the sovereingty of God. You can't get in with good works. It is all about the sacrifice that Jesus made of himself. Because God is apparently perfect, and completely righteous, he cannot tolerate sin. Therefore, a sacrifice had to be made to attone for the inevitable sin committed by humans to clear the slate. Up until Jesus came along, that had to take the form of an animal sacrifice that met certain very strict requirements contained in the Torah. But Jesus sacrificed himself by coming to Earth as a human, living among us, allowing himself to be subjected to the same tempations and restrictions to time that all humans are, and then being crucified in our stead.Jesus is actually the son of God, but is also God himself, at least one third of God, the other two parts being Yahweh and the Holy Spirit. But when he came to Earth he gave up most of his Godly powers and was just as mortal and weak as the rest of us. His holy, deified blood was apparently enough to compensate for all the sins of all the mortal souls on Earth for the rest of time. All that is required is that you profess faith in him as the devine sovereign ruler of all existence and devote you life to the conversion of others.
I grew hearing this story day in and day out for most of my early life. You think this is **** up? The other side of my family is Jewish. Christianity is pretty tame compared to Judaism.
And let's not even get started on the Scientologists! Do you think Cruise and those other celebs really believe that shit? What a bunch of maroons! 
Religion, making otherwise normal people look like freaks for, well, forever. D1B wrote:Mostly off.Ibanez wrote: Right. He should have stated "on and off since its inception."
Joe, is there anything else, really fucking important, languishing in latin or "misinterpreted" dogma, that your church is confused about and never ever practiced or taught, that needs to be clarified to the masses?JoltinJoe wrote:D1B wrote:

Hey bro, Auburn is about 4 1/2 hours from downstate, where I am. Are you coming downstate at all? Driving 4 1/2 hours to meet a guy who might kick my ass after a few minutes of conversation is a little too far.D1B wrote:JoltinJoe wrote:

I'm hoping to get to the city for a day and hit the Metropolitan and MOMA, then up to my cousin's cabin in Auburn. I'll pm you the day(s). Would very much enjoy having a couple with you. Maybe you can sneak away for an hour or two and view some of the excellent, catholic financed, art at the Metro.JoltinJoe wrote:Hey bro, Auburn is about 4 1/2 hours from downstate, where I am.

BTW, Auburn is famous for two things: being on the Finger Lakes and for its well-known maximum security prison.
You are coming because of the Finger Lakes ??

It's really not possible to see both in one day. In fact, you really can't do either in one day. The Met is over 2,000,000 square feet. The MOMA is over 600,000 square feet. If you want to try to get to both, you have to plan in advance which collections/areas you want to see. If you dedicate yourself entirely to the MOMA, you might be able to do it in a day, depending on your pace, but you will feel rushed.D1B wrote:I'm hoping to get to the city for a day and hit the Metropolitan and MOMA, then up to my cousin's cabin in Auburn.

Yeah, those plans were a bit messed up! Looks like 19th century European and 20th century abstract expressionism at MOMA this time. I'll try to firm up plans ASAP to give you time to adjust your schedule if necessary. Look forward to tipping a few.JoltinJoe wrote:It's really not possible to see both in one day.

If you only have one night in the city, I'd say you got to go for a steak at Peter Luger's, but it's in Brooklyn and could be a haul.
Anyway, I''d definitely meet up with you and even buy your beverages, so you'd be coming all that. It's a breeze for me to get into the city, and I might be able to plan to work in our NY office on that day with a little head's up.
