Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

I guess some people need to reread the parts about the meek inheriting the earth and turning the other cheek. The main reason real men don't join the church is that it's boring, preachy, and it interferes with the pregame show.

Re: Ultimate Fighting Jesus?
Old women are the main group at church because it gets them out and they can have tea and biscuits afterwards.
They could get Silvestre Stilone playing Jesus and it still wouldn't make a bit of difference. If men suddenly started going to church just to see a big beefed up man on a cross I think I'd start to wonder about them anyway.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Ultimate Fighting Jesus?
I like the way that it is balanced now. Maybe the author was talking about protestants, because Catholicism still has a pretty good balance. We have action hero saints and Jesus was no baby. I think ending up will nails hammered into you, shredded flesh and a gaping gash across your side while asphyxiating in the heat is a pretty manly way to go - especially if you could get out of it if you wanted to.
Catholicism any manlier would be Islam. Again, I think the balance is pretty good.

Oh, yes, the manliness of Catholicism in several meanings of the term is certainly well enough attested to...

Emasculation of Hey-soos?
I think the Word gives a pretty good account of him. Anyone who wants to know about Jesus should read the Bible rather than rely on someone else to feed you a perception.
Unless you're Catholic, in which case I guess you just do what your told or something.

Not of course suggesting that all sisters (or brothers for that matter) were sadistic bastards , it just that you really remember the crazy ones .
Re: Ultimate Fighting Jesus?
Care if I don't give a crap? All organized religion is a freak show when you look close enough: holy black stones, crying Maria's, flying monks, holy cows, sacred elephants, prayer bells and rotten incense.
I know it's unreasonable and I won't follow through on it, but every once in a while I dream of just locking up the whole zoo and and losing the key.
I promise that tomorow I'll be my nice, tolerant self again and discuss your steroid Jesus as if it wasn't just another pathetic circus act cooked up by a benighted imbecile.
Wow, good to get it off my chest once in a while.

Have you seen Father Ted?
Re: Ultimate Fighting Jesus?
Afraid I haven't! Bummer. It sounds great.
As the series continued, though, the doubts both Father Ted and Father Dougal have about religion are raised more frequently. A good example of this is Father Dougal stating the only problem he has with Christianity was accepting this whole idea with someone looking down from heaven, the crucifixion, and resurrection.

Might I recommend a soundtrack for the Christ's image-fixing project ?

They need to puch the OT more, David, Sampson, Solomom. Moses was pretty hard-core as well.
Jesus is all about moderation but if you take him away from the scripture he refers to he does go a bit soggy.
