    If Jesus was one of us how would he get himself noticed without blowing peoples minds or causing mass riots.The second coming is always the most difficult.

    Did you ever think what would happen if god was one of us? Just a slob like one of us or just a stranger on the bus?


  • Registered Users Posts: 321 ✭✭Chevolution


    He'd post a thread on AH asking people how he could make himself noticed without blowing peoples minds...........hold on a second!!!!

    The second coming is always more difficult because you're not as horny after the first one.

    He'd go on celebrity bainisteoir.

    Thought it was more a gradual acceptance thing by conducting miracles and such,if we got some guy walking on water today I'm pretty sure there would be mass hysteria.

    He could have already come back but was probably committed to a lock-ward.

    I'd kidnap him and create a wine company beside the ocean in the south of France. Overheads would be fcuk all.

    Saw a documentary once called Rivals to Jesus and it claimed that his story caught on better and lasted the test of time compared to other wise men at the time.

    Unfortunately the 'miracles conducted' wouldn't occur in Times Square to be witnessed by all and sundry, but rather somewhere such as Balinspittle or Knock, to be witnessed by superstitious half-blind octogenarians or delusional schoolchildren indoctrinated to within an inch of their lives.
    Same as it ever was.

    He'd clone Hitler, then beat him up and throw him off a skyscraper.

    Also dinosaurs.

    If he did exist and I doubt it , it might be easier for him this time round as the most of the world is far more tolerant of gays, who knows he might even enter a civil partnership!

    He caused riots the first tine round. The authorities were so furious at his teaching that they nailed Him to a cross of wood. You should read the Gospel of John.

    and rightly so, people are getting the death sentence for much less.

    In reality though i dont agree with the death sentence or the killing of anybody.

    I'd love to see him on Jersey Shore


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos

    Technically John also points out that he hung there to pay the penalty for sin and take God's wrath on our behalf and that He rose again on the third day so that we can be forgiven.

    That's perhaps the most fascinating part :)

    you mean the zombie bit? Yea perhaps... but it's been done to the death at this stage.

    He is the messiah, and I should know, I've followed a few.

    (Was going to post the clip but Terry Jones' nutsack makes an appearance so I had best not)

    But technically, don't you believe that he was God?, you know, all that business with the shamrock?, the divinity of Christ, etc?

    I'm pretty sure, and you can quote me on this, he rose again because it was Easter and he had pucks of Easter eggs to get through.

    In fairness, at least he was a slow zombie, taking three days to rise and not one of them stupid new fast zombies for audiences that can't deal with suspense.

    Rising from the dead? Twin brother is more likely. Just like in the movie the Prestige :P

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    There was a really good mini-series about ten years ago that actually dealt with it is which Christopher Ecclestone was the second coming.
