Capt Lightning, so you DO believe in faith without proof then. Have you seen Gary in person? Sorry Gary, just making a point for this member who likes to bash faith in Jesus by those who have never seen Jesus in person...I believe you're real, Gary, reealllly real :laugh:

Y’know, that…. is funny.

Not hah hah funny, but a great analogy or parallel

Religious folks I’ve been around seem to always get that mystical, ethereal smug look about ‘em when discussing the topic of faith

It bugs hell outa me

I’ve called ‘em on it, calling bullshit when I see it

I’ve got ‘faith’ that my lady is gonna make me a great breakfast of bacon and eggs and pancakes, later this morn.
Now, I haven’t seen those eggs, but she told me about ‘em
…pretty much counting on it

The evidence of the existence of Him is freaking rife
If…you care to delve…into the book

That too bugs me, because of me

But, I’m counting heavily on that forgiveness clause

I really don't see CL as doing any bashing

I think he's jus' calling it as he sees it (pun intended)



Now, I do believe it’s time for an offering

So, you devout followers of Garius, jus’ go ahead and PM me for the mailing address

It might not be such a stretch to think that Gary O' is in fact GOD.

We've got the G and we've got the O the only thing that appears to be missing is the D or is it. :):playful::eek:nthego:

Well, hell
Ya found me out, Ain’t Bea (Opie Griffith accent supplied)

My name is GO’D
Gary O’Dxxxxxx

And that tag followed me all thru junior high and high school

Not complaining, as dating became interesting
 
Hey, I think we have the makings of a great novel, or at least a movie, in this thread!

What if Jesus turned out to be one of the regulars on this forum?! His cover story is that he is a charming poet in the Pacific Northwest, but what if...

Or to conjecture a bit further, what if Jesus actually was cloned? What would happen? How would he be treated? How would he use the internet? And how would the internet use him?

Considering the billions of people now inhabiting the earth I think turning the Mississippi river into wine would make most believers happy, for sure winos.
 
While finding apparent evidence of Jesus and his disciples I find interesting, the idea that scientists want to clone him, I find creepy and disturbing. What would their intentions be if it could even be done?
Even cloning independently, is a fascinating topic. Hopefully it can be used in a healthy way but there’s so much wrong with it on so many levels. It reminds me of that movie where they grew humans underground to be used for body parts. Great movie but the entire idea is super creepy.
 
Talk of cloning the Messiah is to my thinking pure hubris. Hubris is a very old human folly and there are many ancient stories that warn against it - Adam and Eve in the Garden, the Tower of Babel, Icarus flying too close to the sun and to some extent even King Midas. No good ever comes from hubris.

I had to look that up. For some reason I figured it would be about cloning but it’s about arrogance.
Oh yes. I’m guilty of this. In fact, when I looked up the 7 deadly sins I figure I must be doomed.:eek:nthego:
 
No Keesha, you are not at all guilty of hubris. It is arrogance at an extreme level, the level of thinking that we are the equals of God (or the gods). Nor are you doomed. You are just mortal, like the rest of us.
 
1. There will never be a cloning of Jesus. God will make sure of that.
God is the Creator. There is only one.

2. Jesus IS God who came to earth in human form for a specific purpose,
to be the Messiah, our Savior from sin. That mission of forgiveness, out of love for us, was accomplished.
All we do to receive that is to believe it. I'm only stating why cloning of Jesus can't possibly happen.

3. Scientists may claim to find Jesus' DNA. They may claim to clone Jesus. But it's not going to be Jesus. It could even be Satan's handiwork as a "sheep in wolves clothing", a false prophet, as the Bible warns us to beware of (Matthew 7:15). Dare I say the Antichrist, *shudder*

4. There would be some serious Divine intervention. I have no doubt.

As the resident atheist on this forum (one of them, anyway), I'm finding this entire discussion hilarious!

Leaving Jesus out of it for a moment, I started wondering about cloning in general. How much of it has actually been done? I know some animals have been cloned, but has it ever been attempted on a human being?
