I don't know much about him but 365 Tao is the most accessible book I've found with a Taoist theme (or any religious theme for that matter).

What Would You Do To Jesus? [View all] CJCRANE Apr 2014 OP

K&R! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #1

This will be my new story for the RW nuts who are being mean to others, refusing to help others. Thinkingabout Apr 2014 #2

But that would require more than prayer and lip-service. DetlefK Apr 2014 #3

The Jesus as a Homeless Person statue CJCRANE Apr 2014 #4

"Get a job, you moocher." DetlefK Apr 2014 #5

"(D)istribution was made unto every man according as he had need". CJCRANE Apr 2014 #6

Ah, the sculpture. Very thought provoking indeed. cbayer Apr 2014 #7

From each according his (or her) ability. CJCRANE Apr 2014 #13

Good points. cbayer Apr 2014 #14

I guess the OP is more aimed at trying to open the eyes of conservative christians CJCRANE Apr 2014 #15

Some of the reactions in the community where this sculpture is found have been very telling. cbayer Apr 2014 #16

I just had to think about the "Need for Speed"-movie. DetlefK Apr 2014 #9

The problem is RW Christians think the bible is a-la-cart. n/t fasttense Apr 2014 #8

Not sure what you mean by a-la-cart, but I think literalism is cbayer Apr 2014 #10

Not really fasttense Apr 2014 #121

Ah, I see what you are saying. cbayer Apr 2014 #128

That would work f right-wingers were Christian Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #11

I think you're absolutely right. okasha Apr 2014 #17

I think that's absolutely right Prophet 451 Apr 2014 #18

Yes, you and the other skepticscott Apr 2014 #85

Had to do some research on Luciferian. Very interesting. cbayer Apr 2014 #20

Interesting take. pinto Apr 2014 #12

He's from San Francisco... CJCRANE Apr 2014 #21

Probably go away grieving. rug Apr 2014 #19

Many DU Christians might want to reconsider their behavior... trotsky Apr 2014 #22

Come on trotsky. Why foster so much divisiveness? Is it worth it? pinto Apr 2014 #23

Come on pinto - let's have some fun! trotsky Apr 2014 #25

I thought you had rug and Starboard Tack on ignore? hrmjustin Apr 2014 #36

I sure do, and it's made this group a lot more enjoyable. trotsky Apr 2014 #37

Well you should read them yourself before you make a judgement. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #39

I'd really not have to read their vitriol. What's your judgment, justin? trotsky Apr 2014 #41

I would need a link from you to judge. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #44

Nope, I can do no better. trotsky Apr 2014 #47

Ok do you think you continue to the drama here? hrmjustin Apr 2014 #48

I don't know, what do you think? n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #50

I am more interested in your opinion but I tgink many of the regulars including you and I have hrmjustin Apr 2014 #52

What Goblinmonger said to you in a previous thread seems appropriate here. trotsky Apr 2014 #59

Well that maybe so but I have seen you call for civility and you never say anything to your friends hrmjustin Apr 2014 #60

I think you will find that I don't actually call for civility much. trotsky Apr 2014 #62

Well trotsky I guess this right here is your hypocritical moment. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #63

I think you missed the point entirely. Civility is wonderful, but I question... trotsky Apr 2014 #65

But you have asked for civility and I have never seen you call attention to your friends hrmjustin Apr 2014 #68

I'm asking for consistency, hrmjustin. trotsky Apr 2014 #70

If you want consisteny then be consistent! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #75

I agree. Great advice. When you start displaying it, people might listen to you. n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #77

You see trotsky I was able to admit I wax wrong and a hypocrite. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #78

Alright, let's do this. Point to a post by a nasty atheist that you want me to call out. trotsky Apr 2014 #79

I am not playing your games sir! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #81

I figured as much. trotsky Apr 2014 #82

Trotsky your the one with zero credibility and you don't see it. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #83

Don't waste time with this one skepticscott Apr 2014 #84

He never denied what I said. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #86

Shift change I guess? Leontius Apr 2014 #87

Lol! I think they are angry at me because I brought up an uncomfortable fact. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #88

I have not made pleas for civility, hrmjustin. trotsky Apr 2014 #94

You never asked for civility here? hrmjustin Apr 2014 #96

I think it's a silly request. trotsky Apr 2014 #99

yet you don't say anything to the atheists about their behavior. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #101

Yet I offered to! trotsky Apr 2014 #102

I am sorry but I don't buy this. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #103

Point me to an "open" group/forum on DU... trotsky Apr 2014 #105

my point is you talk about civility too. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #106

Nope, there is no point. trotsky Apr 2014 #108

Civility is not being told your disingenuous old the time. Civility is not caling people hrmjustin Apr 2014 #109

If you want to go down that path, we certainly can. trotsky Apr 2014 #111

I should have included this was not aimed at you personally. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #112

Geez, in how many posts are you going to claim you have me on ignorr? rug Apr 2014 #117

Typical trotsky. Same old trotsky. kwassa Apr 2014 #126

I appreciate your concerns, kwassa. And way to set an example yourself, huh? trotsky Apr 2014 #127

It was not "out of nowhere". It was a direct response to your usual divisenness. rug Apr 2014 #74

This is just a clear wow moment to me. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #76

It's what they do it's what they always do. Leontius Apr 2014 #80

Two of those statements are correct. rug Apr 2014 #71

That's Friar Tuck to you. Warren Stupidity Apr 2014 #51

Thanks for the correction. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #53

trotsky, I support civility here across the board. Would make that comment to anyone. pinto Apr 2014 #45

Aw shucks it's OK pinto, I accept your apology for your inappropriate post. trotsky Apr 2014 #46

Cool. pinto Apr 2014 #49

Is there no room for disagreement on individual issues... trotsky Apr 2014 #55

I think differing opinions are essential. And common goals, as best as we can state them. pinto Apr 2014 #57

Great! n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #61

There you go again, calling out people you ostensibly have on ignore. rug Apr 2014 #67

Ye without sin cast the first stone! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #24

Indeed, hrmjustin. Good advice for yourself. n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #27

Trotsky look at yourself before you judge others here! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #29

I do not regret calling attention to hypocritical behavior. trotsky Apr 2014 #30

And you have never been a hypocrite here? hrmjustin Apr 2014 #32

Anyone is more than free to call me out for it. trotsky Apr 2014 #33

Have you ever been a hypocrite here before? hrmjustin Apr 2014 #35

Sure! *grabs a rock* AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #90

Lol! hrmjustin Apr 2014 #98

It probably helps that I don't believe in the concept of 'sin'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #107

Yes I suppose so. hrmjustin Apr 2014 #110

I'm curious - why do you put Anti Theist in quotation marks? You know that some el_bryanto Apr 2014 #26

Some do, yep. trotsky Apr 2014 #28

I can see that, but it's hard to use that term without it encompassing more than is intended el_bryanto Apr 2014 #40

I have no idea how to begin quantifying it. trotsky Apr 2014 #42

Yes some atheists feel it's all believers and some believers feel it's all atheists. el_bryanto Apr 2014 #43

I'll quantify it. Warren Stupidity Apr 2014 #56

Prime numbers are under-represented in your sample set. AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #124

For god's sake, stop whining. LTX Apr 2014 #118

Thank you for demonstrating. n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #119

Demonstrating what? LTX Apr 2014 #120

Tell him to stick to philosophy, steer clear of theology. -eom gcomeau Apr 2014 #31

Lol! You would tell Jesus that he needs to change majors. cbayer Apr 2014 #38

I'd hit on him, because he's dreamy. Maedhros Apr 2014 #34

I'd squck his thrug until all he could whupple was geep. nt. Warren Stupidity Apr 2014 #54

Well, if that didn't CJCRANE Apr 2014 #58

Sunday: Cheer him wildly. struggle4progress Apr 2014 #64

Good thread untill someone shit all over it. Leontius Apr 2014 #66

Is this a good example of a civil post that contributes to the discussion? trotsky Apr 2014 #69

Just stating the facts if you don't like it you're more than welcome to leave. Leontius Apr 2014 #72

Hey that's what I did, too! trotsky Apr 2014 #73

Offer to let him use my razor LostOne4Ever Apr 2014 #89

No more or less than I would to any other human being. AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #91

I think this is the best answer in the thread. cbayer Apr 2014 #92

That's the whole point Leontius Apr 2014 #93

When will you start displaying some? n/t trotsky Apr 2014 #95

What's that smell? Leontius Apr 2014 #97

That's right, you made Jesus very proud. trotsky Apr 2014 #100

I just asked a question but your response it says a lot, thanks for clearing up that mystery Leontius Apr 2014 #104

One would think AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #113

Way to take a compliment and spit on it. cbayer Apr 2014 #114

I'm sure crusaders need quite a bit of correction from time to time as well. Leontius Apr 2014 #122

One usually doesn't judge books by covers. AtheistCrusader Apr 2014 #123

Ok, that's pretty hilarious coming from you, wouldn't you say? cbayer Apr 2014 #129

Jesus came to the USA on Thanksgiving Day in 2007. stone space Apr 2014 #115

Great story and I had not heard it before. cbayer Apr 2014 #116

Pester him with questions. okasha Apr 2014 #125
