"Accept Jesus Christ And Get A Free Playstation 2"

Theological flaws, please?

B

I see none at all.

Jesus... Playstation... where's the dichotomy?

Hmm, well I believe in 'play station', so could I get a free jesus?

I've spent all evening turning wine into 'water'. Is that good enough?

B

I'd be more impressed if you were turning water in to wine mind i just realised.... its about damn time I did another visit to the wine merchants... obviously not right now, I imagine they'd be closed

You've gotta be kidding me. Testamints???

I clicked on that link and went to that web page. I read the web page and its contents. and the only response I can think is. Why?

Because they leave your teeth whiter and your soul smelling minty fresh

Inspired !

Pass me that bible brother.

>>Theological flaws, please?

However, as a christian and someone who studied theology at college I feel I should point out that the basic premise of the above is flawed on a fundermental level. After all it's obvious that if Jesus, Christ, was alive today he'd have a Gamecube... Or maybe a DS

I think he'd have an X-Box, seeing as an X is like a slanty cross.

Exactly, it's cruciform. If you'd been sent to the electric chair would you buy a console called an Electric Chair Box? I think most people would not. Plus the Gamecube is quite blatantly more divine

I should've realised you'd fight back with the Bill Hicks argument there...

May I be so blasphemous as to point out that having been crucified, the last thing Jesus would want to see is another damn cross, so I reckon an X Box is out of the question

I doubt he'd be too happy about seeing a cross on every church too

That would be the Bill Hicks arguement, alrighty.


Jesus probably wouldn't be a fan of the X-box for another reason. As anyone who has read the Pocket Guide To The Apocalypse knows, Bill Gates is a candidate for being the Antichrist.

Bill Hicks - *that's* where I heard it Thanks CZ

I was thinking it even before I read psycorp's mention of it as I've just recently been finding all of Bill Hick's DVDs available from Netflix.

I'd just love to know what he would have thought of Bush, the younger, seeing how enamoured he was of the father.



BTW... $600 for a video game console?

Prayer is about the only way a kid of mine would get the new playstation 3.

(Good thing I don't have any. I can spend that money on without a second thought.)
