It's always Jews and sometimes Christians that you go after...but mostly Jews...anyway...I guess you endorse other religions like Islam and Hinduism...you never seem to be critical of them...why is that?

You can't find anything with which to make fun of Islam or Hinduism? And it's not like those two religions don't have lots and lots of followers as well...

You really, really, really don't like Jews or the Jewish religion, do you?

There is nothing special about Jews or Christians or Muslims or their monotheistic religion and there is absolutely no valid reason why they should be critical of non-monotheists, but they are...they are human beings, just like the rest of us...the origins of all human religions can be found here on the planet...and yes I am critical of other religions as well, including Islam which I abhor, I am critical of any religion that goes around murdering people in their o so HOLY name, and that includes Communism and Catholicism and Protestantism, and Imperialism and Fascism and Americanism as well....

No, not true. ON HERE, you seem to be most critical and dismissive of Judaism...you've still never addressed why that is...

I don't recall you saying one negative thing about Mohammed...but you've got all the names of God in Judaism down pat...including Adonai...which I find odd.

Why do you obsess on Judaism when there are any number of religions to pick on?

The name of the thread should be changed to "Two Atheists and a Lunatic Christian."

I appreciate a witty insight.

I assume you didn't like the cartoon. I am like Actor in a way. I want peer reviewed documentation to support claims about the source of origination for specific religions. Something Actor himself does not follow on most of the claims he makes about Jesus.


Thank you for trying to enlighten me about Jesus' last name. I am fully aware that "Christ" is a title, as in Christ Jesus or Jesus the Christ.

But you could have enlightened Vigs with an explanation of what the title "Christ" means and the origin of the term.

Question: "What does Christ mean?"

Answer: To the surprise of some, “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name (surname). “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one.” This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiach, or “Messiah.” “Jesus” is the Lord’s human name given to Mary by the angel Gabriel (Luke 1:31). “Christ” is His title, signifying Jesus was sent from God to be a King and Deliverer (see Daniel 9:25; Isaiah 32:1). “Jesus Christ” means “Jesus the Messiah” or “Jesus the Anointed One.”

In ancient Israel, when someone was given a position of authority, oil was poured on his head to signify his being set apart for God’s service (e.g., 1 Samuel 10:1). Kings, priests, and prophets were anointed in such fashion. Anointing was a symbolic act to indicate God’s choosing (e.g., 1 Samuel 24:6). Although the literal meaning of anointed refers to the application of oil, it can also refer to one’s consecration by God, even if literal oil is not used (Hebrews 1:9).

You're confusing depression for wittiness. HOH was having another one of his acute low self-esteem attacks.

There is no show. Mythicisim is not accepted by accredited mainstream historians and/or theologians.

You should know this and when he quoted their works, you could have told him to apply the burden of peer review to his sources, like he applies to you.
