Glad you brought it up. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 5:56 pm HOOORAY!!!! » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:57 pm KQ, The mythology around it is most likely culled from many different sources but when I refer to a historical Jesus I mean that I am of a belief that a man existed who was revolutionary to enough people that they didn’t want him forgotten. Or there was a message he had that they didn’t want lost. Or he could be the single personification of several different prophets of the time who all played a role in developing Christianity. Either way, I believe there was a physical person or persons whom all this sprung up around. Most likely a single person. Someone who was going to fulfill the prophecy and overthrow Rome and restore the land to the Jews. When that didn’t happen it all became about him being the Son of GOD and the bodily resurrection and all that other stuff. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:56 pm foxisms, Thanks. It’s good to know that the words what come out my mind could influence impressionable children. π Seriously though, thank you. I try to be funny to various degrees with my presentation because I believe people will absorb more if they are enjoying reading about it. And levity tends to “level the playing field” for all the readers. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:40 pm Well, i can’t blame him. Perry Como is terrible. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:36 pm HA! the Pilgrims were terrible people. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:10 pm 2ccp, I swear that the first picture I chose to end this with was a montage of “black Jesus” and have the caption, “Sorry black Jesus. Maybe next time.” But I thought maybe people would think I was making fun of the idea of a black Jesus. ‘Cause he very well could have been. He was definitely not whitey. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 3:02 pm Khirad, I don’t doubt it. Even though all these cultures grew up separated from each other, they all developed so many similar ideas. Jesus’ death and resurrection is a unique one but death and rebirth among ancient gods was hardly a new idea. Jerusalam was still a city of scholars and I find it hard to believe they didn’t have texts from Persia, Eastern Asia, and Greece laying around. After Rome moved in, their roads made travel and exploration so much easier. » Posted By ADONAI On March 23, 2011 @ 2:19 pm Of Thee I Sing : a response to What IS leadership and what kind of leader do WE want? Abby, send them my way! I have TONS of terrible ideas π » Posted By ADONAI On March 19, 2011 @ 6:05 pm Outstanding post, Roosevelt! I believe you made your argument more than clear! I shall now present my comments to said post in the form of bumper sticker slogans I thought of 10 seconds ago. π No man can lead who has not first learned to follow. A leader is any person who can convince someone to follow them. A leader delegates, a tyrant subjugates. Confidence. It matters less what you say but more how you say it. O.K., enough of that. If you are going to lead people you must be ready to lose people(o.k. one more). But leadership is just leading. Making a decision. Life is just a series of decisions. Whether it proves to be right or wrong , that decision must be made and I do not envy the person making it. That’s leadership to me. Not the silly promises, the speeches, or the “brilliant ideas”. It’s making a decision that affects everyone and having the confidence it is the right decision. And if it isn’t, the humility to seek forgiveness. » Posted By ADONAI On March 19, 2011 @ 5:46 pm Friday Music Thread – Comedy Tonight Evenin’ LG. Hope all is well. Or as well as it can be. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 5:34 pm I had to stop this DVD numerous times to keep from dying of laughter. One of my favorite comedies of all time. Since Walker and Texas Ranger are taken, I’m naming one kid Delta and the other one Force. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 5:26 pm “I’m Black Ya’ll” from the movie CB4(still Chris Rock’s best movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFY2kJ96jNY See if you catch the subtle message he is trying to get across. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 5:13 pm I would have went with him. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 5:09 pm HOORAY!!!!! MST3K! » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 5:03 pm Dress to Kill is one of the best stand up performances of all time. Eddie is brilliant. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:44 pm Cher & BDM – The guy who does them features a bunch more including Tron and Twilight. Very funny stuff. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:43 pm Good call KT. Still my favorite Carlin bit. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:42 pm HA! Mandingo. I remember this movie from when i was a kid. Always liked Robert Townsend. » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:41 pm HA! cheese » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:30 pm Mitch Hedberg. I found out about this guy when I heard George Carlin talking about him in an interview. If George recommended him, I gotta listen. I was not disappointed. A comedy great who left us way too early. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMYAPixoWaA R.I.P.

» Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 4:12 pm AdLib – I can’t believe you led with Python. That’s like Skyynyrd opening with Freebird » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 3:58 pm Invite For Collaboration Part 4 GOD Hates Us All. And I am way ahead of you π » Posted By ADONAI On March 19, 2011 @ 7:34 pm O.K., I gotta admit. A couple of days ago I got a new name at HuffPo{spit} and decided to just casually go in and type the thoughts I usually type but in no way give an indication that it was me. I wanted to see if it was my ideas that were popular or just me. First of all,I can’t believe the comments that just disappear now. I checked out Breitbart’s pathetic columns and the comments were just one insult after another. And rightfully so. But that place is weird, man. After being here for a while it’s like going to an alien planet. And people HATE me. I managed to pull in 6 fans so far but if they had an enemies total next to it, it’d be much much higher. Some of it I didn’t even get, though. I kept getting replies about me and Rush Limbaugh and having tea with Michelle Bachmann. All I did was disagree with their ideas not their objectives. The first moment someone told me I was absolutely wrong when we were only debating opinion, I had to leave for awhile. My original response would have never made it post moderation. Still some cool people there but most of them seem so paranoid about everything. BillLoney appears to have established his own doomsday cult. Just a weird place. I’ll probably wait a few days to go back. This nuclear plant thing has them all at each other’s throats. » Posted By ADONAI On March 19, 2011 @ 7:27 pm Fantastic detail, Buddy. I really enjoy this one. And I am in no way jealous or resentful of you artistic expertise….. π » Posted By ADONAI On March 18, 2011 @ 1:36 pm THE EAGLE (has trouble) LANDING Love eagles. Not a big fan of the current Endangered Species Act though. It needs some tweaking. I like animals but not more than humans. » Posted By ADONAI On March 19, 2011 @ 12:47 pm I know we can build a safe nuclear plant. My problem with nuclear plants is that we are creating tons of nuclear waste. We have no way to get rid of it other than bury it and hope future people find a solution. » Posted By ADONAI On March 15, 2011 @ 5:57 pm The Battle of Thermopylae: How Democracy Was Saved Pluto, Amen brother. I can think of more than a few. I was pushing for more public shame on here awhile back and Ostracism would be perfect for this. » Posted By ADONAI On March 22, 2011 @ 4:02 pmComments Posted By ADONAI
