However, comic books and film tell us about a different origin of power for Superman. Could the comic book and film versions of Superman's origins be wrong? Could it be that Superman was the missing disciple, the one who ate Jesus in order to attain the high protein required for super human abilities?
And, if Superman did eat Jesus, isn't it likely he could face criminal charges, Messiah tampering, to name but one?
HEHE you makey me giggle, me likey you.

The majority of the Founding Fathers were not Christians. They were Deists, and hated organized religion - especially Thomas Jefferson. This country was not intended to be run by christers, and if we don't get it away from that we'll face destruction.
The "Son" of god is a gigantic hoax. Washington knew that, and 250 years later people still believe in these lies - which were stolen from the pagans, who didn't do a fraction of the killing and destruction that the (later) monotheistic religions have racked up. It is a disgrace that the Bible is held in high esteem by anybody, much less the president. Even if he doesn't believe in it 100% (nobody does), he's exploiting the brainwashed, lazy, ignorant masses to do his bidding. The terrorists did 9/11 for sure, but Bush has used it to further his agenda. Now we found that Iraqi terrorists were planning to blow up the Holland Tunnel. This is on Bush's head, IMHO. They never learn - we had the Shah of Iran replaced by the Khomeni, in Iran, and that should have taught us that secular is better. But NOOOOOOO! They've got to have their "faith" win the government. It's more than disgusting, it's downright reprehensible.
O'Reilly is another disgusting individual who is not only a hypocrite, but a liar as well. Don't even get me started on that asshole. :dance:
Time to smoke a bowl of New York Diesel (or whatever it is!).
Take it eeeeeez.

Howdy BA,
We're still buying oil from our enemy's,because the enviro-nazis here at home,have and continue to do so,stymie all efforts to be energy independent.
When you say that " The son of god is a gigantic hoax" and that the Bible is a "disgrace",yer telling 85 percent of America,that they are fools and that their lives are a 'hoax'. It's folks that say the things ya did,that make Christians git involved in politics..so go ahead and express yer contempt for 85 % of America..and count yerself amongst the religion of the God-less Left.
O'Reilly must be doin something right--to git you all pissed off...lol.
Have a good one ...

I read some poll that said that more than 50 percent of the U.S. population believes the Book of Revelations to be literally true, which means more than half the country believes that Armageddon is coming soon, and therefore why worry about using up the Earth's resources. Now, perhaps they're right, and we needn't worry about efficient alternatives to oil, because the world won't be around much longer anyway. But what if they're wrong? I guess it's Christian blasphemy to consider that all those people could be mistaken. But what if they are? This is where religion might not just merely cause wars, but could also potentially contribute to the end of human existence.

You're talking about a large percenatage of the population due to all of the SUV owners, others that won't walk a mile or so to get something, and more. Them Dems and Republicans are also on the payroll of the oil barons.

I have contempt for the religion, not necessarily the people. I do not care if I am "God-less", because "god" does not exist in the first place. Your religion is an amalgamation of myths, and must fight to maintain it's place in the world. You admit this. Well, the non-believers, who are rational, are usually silenced. Where is there an Atheist show on TV? You come up with examples things that you think are "god-less" - but the people that are qualified to show why religions are poison are not allowed to explain this in the media, schools, etc.
O'Reilly must be doin something right--to git you all pissed off...lol.
He is a showman, and I don't even care about his agenda - he caters to the ignorant masses who have allowed themselves to be brainwashed. He goes on crusade against the mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq, but is afraid to debate those that could stomp his meager intellect into the ground. He's a coward, as evidenced by his pro-war stance, and lack of military service.
There's more, but he's a pathetic, cowardly little man who does not even deserve the courtesy of a fair analysis.
Have a good one ...
O'Reilly was put in his place was on Letterman, last year, because David was clearly emotionally upset at him - mostly due to his heartless attacks on Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier slain in Iraq. In keeping with the character of a coward, O'Reilly will probably never voluntarily put himself in a vulnerable position again.

I got an idea. Why don't we give the copy and paste a rest....and use your own fucking words. I can understand you much better....that way.
