That's one of the most bizarre posts I've seen in this forum.

Religion damages some people. And some damaged people sometimes seek solace in religion. For the most part, I don't engage them. In my book, most fundies are more to be scorned than pitied. But the opposite is true of the damaged ones.

I think this perhaps is not taken in the literal sense, otherwise, all Christians should not have ANY sexual activity, in an effort to emulate Jesus.

If Jesus really wanted to prove his love for humanity he would have gone to hell and suffered eternally so we didn't have to. That's REAL love. Instead he just suffers a few hours dies and then gets resurrected and is back to his normal happy self. But we get sent to hell to suffer for eternity because we didn't believe a ridiculous story.

Uhm, could you speak up a bit? I can't quite "hear" you because you aren't typing loudly enough.

Or unstick your caps lock key. One or the other.

Essentially what you're trying to say here is that the daughter of an atheist who never heard of Jesus somehow painted a picture of Jesus? And it was confirmed to be Jesus by ... someone, I guess. All I saw was the name "Burpo" which made me wonder if he had chronic gas issues or something.

At any rate, this is utter nonsense because NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHAT JESUS LOOKED LIKE!! (There, that's my stuck caps lock key).

How can anyone confirm anything about a painting of Jesus. He could have been a 5'2 tall little fat man with a receding hairline and a Grizzly Adams beard for all anyone knows. He could've looked like one of those idiots on Duck Dynasty.

Someone paints a picture of a guy with a beard and mustache and ... suddenly it has to be Jesus? I bet he's depicted as being a blonde-haired Aryan, too.

Xuipa, I think you slid down that ladder a little too fast and landed on your head. And it's "Chutes and Ladders" not "Shoots and Ladders".

And that's a different game from Candyland.

I've no doubt that where that poster is, they have both games, plus arts and crafts. The God she plays the games with wears colorful scrubs, perhaps printed with kittens or balloons on them, and possesses an access card that opens the doors to the corridors.
