h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Jesus was one of the most misunderstood people of the last couple of milleniums. Comments?


On a similar topic: my research, if it goes smoothly, will mean that in 24 years I will be able to stand up and say:
"I can turn water into wine.
I can turn flour into cocaine.
I can turn coal into diamonds.
I can walk on water.
I can feed millions of hungry mouths, using only dirt.
I can end suffering.
I can cure disease.
I can grow wings and fly.
and I could be immortal.
And you can do all this too."

But, humanity doesn't deserve it.

There's too much evil, corruption and injustice in the world for me to give this gift freely.

I will only feed the starving, and heal the ailing, in order to give everyone equal opportunities to be able to prove the strength of their own heart.
Everything else will have to be earned.
Possibly some form of repentance would be in order.

I'm fully anticipating being cruxified, when the time comes.

Hey are you looking for an evil sidekick? I'd gladly be Judas if it would get your plan done faster.

I'll be the guy who sits by himself, not taking sides, and calmly taking care of his own stuff.

I know the one you mean. The guy who said seeing is beliving.

Or pontius Pilot.

I could've been Mary Magdalene, but I never did it for the money

Can I have it then.

30 Pieces of Silver in fact.

oooOOOooo. Job, I'll give you a shiny penny for those thirty pieces of silver. Deal?

And of course I'm looking for an evil sidekick; that's why I stated the "Putting out the call" thread! Actually, I'm a little more greedy than that; I'm looking for many sidekicks.

The one I need to find most urgently is a musician who can also program. As a second choice, I can also go with a programmer who can play music, but I'd prefer the first option. Does anyone know anyone?

X, why take sides? Your world will be changed in twenty-four years whether you want it to or not. You may as well reap the benefits of being supportive to god's creation. (For given values of 'reap', 'supportive', 'benefits', and 'god', of course. )

Most of my friends seem to be musos or programmers...don't know if any of them can do both though...

I might need to sit and have a think about that one...

*sits and thinks*

*Fails to sit, and also fails to think properly too...*

*...decides to and sink instead.*

*throws the a life jacket just in case*

My brother is a muso and my boy is a programmer, they've been meaning to get together for a while to collaborate...but nothing has come of it so far...

Any idea what they hope to collaborate on?

They're not trying to steal my ideas, are they?

It will just be music, the boy having one of those keyboards that attaches to the computer (I know it's a really easy name, but I can't think of it )

So you're safe

Midi.

Yeah, one of those keyboards...but they're both shocking at making plans, so you'd have nothing to worry about anyway

I'll do the music but I can't programme.

I got a cool piece of equipment yesterday. It's a mixer and it means I can plug four instruments into one amp! How ace!!!

~*~X, why take sides?~*~

Exactly. Why should I? Odds are all the sides are going to wind up killing eachother anyway, so I'll just watch out for myself and anyone else I happen to be interested in caring about.

~*~Your world will be changed in twenty-four years whether you want it to or not.~*~

True.

~*~You may as well reap the benefits of being supportive to god's creation.~*~


Mmmmmmmaaaaaaayyyyyybbbbbbeeeeee...........

But I don't really work that way, so it's not an issue. I'm not about to support someone or something just because they're the ones in charge. Now that doesn't mean that I necessarily /won't/ support them either, but it depends on whether or not I actually agree with whatever they're doing. Anyway........

Jerms
I could be your Doubting Thomas

Oooohhhkay. So what's a one of those in English?

Yay mixer! I want one!
Sorry, Job, I need someone who knows how to do both. I don't need music made, I need the concepts translated into a different way of thinking about them so that the music can make itself.

X, I think you have completely the wrong idea about what I want to do. It has nothing to do with control, and nothing to do with being in charge or bossing anyone around, or starting wars.
It's about changing the priorities that people have. It's about giving everyone the opportunities to be what they want to be, by making sure that absolutely everyone on the planet starts off without any disadvantages like poverty or hunger or disease. It's about eliminating capitalist greed by making all currency-based forms of exchange redundant.

St Thomas was the disciple who doubted that Jesus had really came back from the dead so a Doubting Thomas is a sceptic (as opposed to a septic)

~*~It has nothing to do with control, and nothing to do with being in charge or bossing anyone around, or starting wars.~*~


I know that Jerms. And quite honestly I was just joking around before.

But as far as fixing everything that's wrong with the world....... Well I'm just inherently skeptical. I don't think it will work.
