the buddy christ

i consider myself a christian and have never been able to not believe in a god or jesus but i'm still not a very religious person and all the shit you see about church and state and the aspects of modernized media-induced christianity, one slip up and you're toast and if you watch whatever christian channel you have (stoned...what other way is there?), they lie their asses off about everything and half the time all they do is ask for money

i get confused about how i should believe and how this belief should indirectly or directly affect my actions so i remembered in the movie dogma about the buddy christ the cardinal george carlin :thumbsup: came up with

thats my interpretation of jesus and it works for me cuz he's my homeslice and i'll light one up with him anyday. whether he's real or not is your concern, not mine. smoke on it.

ok.

Christ is dead.He died 2000 years ago and somebody forgot to tell the christians.lol

thats why we carry a cross, the symbol of his execution, around our necks.

i follow christ the same way blacks follow mlk or potheads follow marley, because they were revolutionary. christ declared his death a sacrifice to god to pay for all of the world's sins. wouldnt mind sharin a spliff with a fellow like that

If he had been shot, or executed by a firing squad, would you wear a symbol that looks like a gun around your neck? :smokin:

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."

Reminds me of the bit from life of Brian

He's gone! He's been taken up!!!!!

For He's been taken up!!!!!

No, there He is. Over there.

jesus is in heaven either way

And to add to your idea Doesn't god want you to NOT worship idols? God's son was an example, he is Lord and King but put in charge by God and we are told to ONLY worship God and Not Idols.

Is Jesus an idol?

Why did people who believe in Jesus worship him?

Is Jesus not God?
