   JESUS CHRIST
Special Selection October 08 Again, a list of accomplishments is pretty quick and easy here. For the record, there were hundreds of miracles, here's just a taste:
...and if that all isn't awesome enough, consider this. Back when he was into carpentry, he had to deal with a board that was too short. You guessed it.. he stretched it. Awesome Footnote: be fore warned, it may very well be a sin to vote against J.C.

Seriously when is Jesus going up against Jesus Riding on a Dinosaur
reply
I think that's already happened.
reply
Not yet. I think you're getting Jesus Christ confused with Robocop on a Unicorn. Easy mistake.
reply
OMG, no kidding! I've lost count of the times I've accidentally said, "In the name of Robocop on a Unicorn, Amen," at the end of my prayers. Boy, is THAT embarrassing!
reply
Its kind of shocking how much I vote for JC, considering how I'm not really super into him.
reply
Residual guilt is a powerful force.
reply
Wow, there is so much miss-information in these comments concerning who Jesus is/isn't or was/wasn't or whether or not a person named Jesus of Nazareth even existed. For the purposes of Awesomeoff (not for the alleged consequences to ones eternal soul - if one has one), does it really matter? Vote for whatever entrant you think most awsome. I say that as one of those "brainwashed people" Pandemic rails against.
reply
Hey! I've not saying anything against most of the ideas attributed to Jesus, and I'm not even slagging your belief that he existed or was divine.
Jesus is pretty awesome for a largely positive effect on history, for advocating nonviolence, for advocating the equality and kindness. There's poetry in those words, and the new testament is an essential part of our culture. All of that is totally frakking awesome. But other than Biblical references, the only contemporary text that mentions Jesus is of dubious authenticity. reply
I assume you mean Josephus. He also mentions James, the brother of Jesus, in a different passage than the "dubious" one. That passage is accepted as authentic by every historian I know of. The "dubious" passage is thought to be dubious in the obvious Christian sentiments that surround its authentic core. Most textual critics exsice those portions and retain Josephus' mention of a man by the name of Jesus, whose followers called him the Christ. Then there are the Roman (pagan) historians Tacitus and Seutonius, both of whom mention Christ or Chrestus incompletely neutral or even hostile contexts without denying his existence. Still, what one believes about such a man is up to you. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Jesus Christ vs. JRAD and JRAD vs. ROAU!
reply
Tacitus was writing a century after the supposed life of Jesus, the Testimonium Flavianum from Josephus was added to the text by third-century Christians, Suetonius refers to "Chrestus," which was actually someone's given name, rather than the title Christ.
So, when I said contemporary, I exclude Tacitus (because I wouldn't call 100 years later "contemporary), Seutonius isn't referring to anyone named Jesus, and Josephus is of dubious authenticity.
reply
Agree with much of what you write, although (1.)I understand that at least some of the Testimonium Flavianum does mention Jesus when the rather obvious christianizing aspects are taken out (based on an Arabic recension of Josephus' work); (2.) Chrestus is not an otherwise attested name - Suetonius says that the Jews were expelled from Rome "because of Chrestus," which most historians that I know of think is Christ (early Christianity had still not completely differentiated itself fro Judaism); and (3.) you are certainly right about the date of Tacitus, but writing 100 years later does not in and of itself rule him out (though in your favor some scholars I've read think he may have used Suetonius as a source). In any case, it is awesome that on this site of all sites there is someone, Olav, who is well read enough to respond intelligently to these issues (trust me, a rare occurence on atheist and theist sites alike.
reply
continuing . . . got distracted . . . Therefore, I salute you! My guess is we could come to some sort of agreement on the basic facts, but our beliefs will obviously differ. In any case I look forward to JC vs. JRAD vs. ROAU! Ain't the Awesomeoff . . . AWESOME!!!!
reply
Jesus is a pretty cool guy. eh shows tits and doesn't afraid of anything.
reply
Why would Jesus be awesome? A fictional character in a religion that has brainwashed billions of people and gave them a reason to kill and persecute others for their different beliefs or lack of.
reply
Really? Jesus is the fictional character you take umbrage with?
Chewbacca is a terrorist who plotted with religious fanatics to blow up a government installation, an attack that cost tens of thousands of government employees their lives! Jesus was just a carpenter who was nailed to a tree because he asked people to be nice to one another for a change. reply
You're an idiot. Jesus is a character ina fiction tale to a religion. Chewbacca is just a character in a movie. Huge difference. People pray to Jesus and put so much pointless hope in faith in him that's pathetic. Jesus is the answer to everything for many people. "Believe in Jesus and all your questions will be asked." If you don't understand what I'm saying with this than you never will.
reply
you are an idiot. regardless of whether or not you believe in christianity, Jesus did indeed exist. the debate isnt over whether or not he actually existed, but whether or not he was something Divine
reply
Sorry GoatFloats, but there's no decent evidence that Jesus even existed historically.
reply
Sorry, Olav, but there is at least as much evidence that one Jesus of Nazareth existed as there is that anyone in the 1st century AD existed - in some cases quite a bit more. GoatFloats is right - his divinity (and what exactly divinity might even mean) or lack thereof is the question. Being a "Christian theist", you can guess where I come down on that question. But I in no way believe that your obvious stance on the question makes you an idiot, or even provably wrong.
reply
Hey, there's no need to call me names.
I'll agree that what people do in Jesus' name is totally uncool and unawesome. I don't even believe in Jesus; religion isn't awesome. However, as a fictional character, he's still a more interesting and nuanced fictional character than Chewie. Plus Jesus has better one-liners. reply
Jesus is a self admitted sinner isn't he, how could he possibly be awesome?
reply
self admitted sinner? do a little research breh. you sort of missed a few hundred pages of the Bible
reply
Rollerman is like Jesus on rollerskates.
reply
Can't wait for Jesus Christ VS Jesus Riding a Dinosaur
reply
A win-win for Jesus . . . and Kirk doesn't believe in the no-win scenario . . . OH MY GOD! KIRK IS JESUS CHRIST!!!
reply
"What does God need with a Starship?" -James T. Kirk
reply
Indeed!
reply
Or how 'bout Jesus Christ vs. Zombies? He whose flesh is eaten vs. Those who eat flesh . . . another win-win for Jesus!
reply
Christ is the original zombie.
reply
Maybe, but if so, he is a zombie being eaten rather than eating: "This is my body . . ." etc...
reply
He reminds me of the Wheelers from "Return to Oz."
"She's got a CHICKEN!!!!!"
reply
I find it interesting that the only thing Rollerman has gone down to so far is Rabbit Holes, which is 6-8 so far for the month.
reply
Have you ever hit a rabbit hole while you were rollerblading? It hurts!
reply
You make an excellent point.
reply
monster trucks can go over rabbit holes fine (and crush a couple lamborghinis and deloreas on the way)
reply
Anything you make in school that turns you into a Daft Punk video prop is awesome.
