You can't prove the non existence of it either. It's just a matter of faith, you have it or you don't.


But you also cannot disprove Flying Spaghetti Monster existance. Demanding a proof for non-existance of sth shows only lacks of education in logic. You of course can use a word like 'faith' to describe someone unrational beliefs but I would describe it as naivety.

@vizunary: I don't agree with your comparision of Hitler and Jesus. You're right that "followers" of both killed lots of people but connection between Hitler and people killing in his name was much stronger than connection of Jesus (if he existed or course) and Christian Church.

A few disclaimers.

1. this is NOT a real game, just a joke video

2. if you are sensitive about christianity or graphic violence just DON'T WATCH

If you can't take a joke about something you love then I feel sorry for you.

Do you really think God doesn't laugh at some of the jokes about christianity? 

 



I would buy the hell out of this game.


And yes, it would bother me more if it was Mario.

And yes, Mario saved my soul.

well I just watched it and that was pretty sick. How can it bother people more if it was Mario, a game character! I am as atheist as they come, but there is undeniable evidence that Jesus existed and he was a great man and liberator of his time (much like Jefferson, Ghandi etc). This video is very disturbing.



@tombi: And where have you seen this 'undeniable evidence'? I know that you made up that he was a great man and "liberator of this time" (whatever this is supposed to mean) so don't bother to prove that, focus on 'undeniable evidence'.

The problem is that people enjoy the torture and death of an innocent human being, killed by the will of religious fanatics.

If this is enjoyable to you than you aren't worthy enough to be called a human, you lack humanity, you're just a savage/beast.

This has nothing to do with whether Jesus was Christ or not, this would be a game just as bad as the Columbine Massacre.

Then might I recommend Super Columbine RPG? It's not half as good as I'm OK though. That's the best game ever.

Actually Rick people can pretty much enjoy anything they want and deserve to be called Human. The Christ thing I said was only to point out that most people who get offended easily by this stuff don't even know about who Jesus really was.

So this how I see things if you enjoy stabbing people and participating in crucifications yes you really do need help. However since this quite obviously a parody it is funny at a certain level. IMO people put too much on the crucification and not enough on the message so in that respect I actually kind of appreciate this parody.

 



1st) You can't compare Jesus to Hitler just because of what his followers did. Let me ask you, if they REALLY were his followers (Christians) why would they kill innocents then ? Besides, I can say the same for Stalin and how he killed more than Hitler and therefor, since Stalin is Atheist then it must be all Atheisms fault. No..

The responsibility lies with the person themselves, not someone or something else.

That's like assuming someone who played GTA is gonna be a murderer.

2nd) I had a feeling this thread was gonna explode, lol. But all ya guys gotta respect eachothers opinions, sure you may not give a damn for Christ but he means a lot to some people. And to others, don't get too offended.

That's all.



Understanding is the key.

Well as far as hitler and stalin are concerned it really has nothing to do with that. I didn't even make that comparision. If you ask me most violence that stems out of christianity comes from the way Constatine established a "universal church" and previously the roman empire's handling of a new, yet very segmented, religion. Most hypocrisy of christianity comesout of an unwarranted percieved strictness that really isn't there.

 

I just feel there is no reason to eb offended by this video or any others or anything else that anybody does regarding (your religion) because in the end it is a personal venture.

 

BTW there is not much proof outside of the New testament for the existence of Jesus. He is breifly mentioned in the Antiquities of the Jews some 100 years later and supposedly mentioned without any distinction(i.e. he had no name and no descriptionother than a guy icausing trouble in all of 2 sentences). He may have been mentioned in the Babylon talmuds but than again the only guy in the talmuds who had apostles only had 5 and was hung for burning meat in public. It is something that we take on faith. He came from a time when there are many prophets, some people believe that hte Jesus you read about todayis a conglamorate of all those people.

So don't get mad when people call Jesus fictional it is just part of life. Most of the New testament was pieced together by a council of men who added and subtracted books ot fit the story they wanted to tell a few hundred years later.
