I saw a connection between Tatooine and Jedi Knights, and ancient Israel and a certain Savior.

The VISA card? It just sounds ridiculous.

Y'know, this certainly would explain quite a bit... :-)

OK. This is funny, but I'm afraid a lot of christians will be offended. Why? I dunno. I love it though. May the holy spirit be with you?

Jesus being a Jedi Knight would explain some things, but the fact that he "won't take American Express" will piss some people off.

I'm Christian, and I find that very funny. Not all Christians are humourless. Some are, but not all.

Josh: I think they're getting to know each other a bit too well, if you catch my drift.
Me: Oh, I agree. I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift.
Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

If its a joke I'm ok, if this is being plastered everywhere I'm offended!

WARNING: The following post is extremely offensive and due to its content it should not be viewed by anyone.
.

If you want to test church people's offensensitivity, try this:

(First, remember the following MST3K quote about Gamera:
*sung*: "Gamera is fun to eat, he's made out of turtle meat!")

Now.. think about the application that has to the ritual of communion... and sing...

"Jesus Christ is good to eat, he's made out of holy meat!"

If THAT doesn't offend the people around you, nothing will.

If you find a church where no one is offended by that, let me know. I may join.

I'm not offended by that at all, but that doesn't mean the rest of my congregation wouldn't be.

I like Jesus. Had Harley-Davidson motorcycles been around back then, He'd have rode one.

I don't see why people can't read the entire thing.

The VISA card? It just sounds ridiculous.

Nothing philosophical.
Nothing metaphysic.
And it had nothing to do with collection plates.

Holy Jedi knight Batman!

BTW how many satanists do you think have Christian as their first name? :]

Posted by Jaresh Inyo on :

I would imagine more than Christians named Satan.

Posted by RW (Member # 27) on :

I wonder, there are many christians who are called christian, but do you know of muslims/moslems/whichever you prefer who're called muslims/moslems/whichever you prefer? Or buddhists who're called Buddhist? :]

I actually knew a Buddhist named Buddah. Oh btw... I think Jesus coulda taken a Jedi Knight anyday. ;-) j/k Jedi=Jesus... kind of an interesting concept...

I'm a Christian, and I find this thread hilarious!

And there are a few Moslems whose full name contains the word "Islam." [I know: I work with some guys from the Middle-East.]

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

In this part of the country, there are a lot of hispanic people. Jesus (pronounced hay-SOOS) is a common name. It can be a real gas when you see a story about a local little league game with a headline that reads: "Jesus hits home run".

I looked up the character name Jesus Christ at the IMDB once, it turned out there were several hispanic Jesuses who played him. Actually, it's not really that funny if you remember his name is often Jesucristo in Spanish, not Jes�s, though I guess it occurs from time to time.

Hm... A Buddhist named Buddha... Isn't Buddha a title? That would be like a person named "God", or something... *points out that if anyone wants to name their kid after Buddha, his real name was Siddhartha Gautama (sp?)* Imagine growing up and learning to write your name like that... *L*

*Names his kid "Son of the Supreme Ruler of All the Universes" just so there'll be no mistakes*

Such lengths some people will go to to make sure their kid has a "unique" name..

Of course, I collect wierd names, but it's getting to be a surplus commodity..

(actual children registered with cards at the library
Tequila
De Ja El
Jonteal
Rostina
Queen
Shanique
Rofael (Ru'afo?)
Van
Chevy
(these two are named for places of conception, I'd wager)
Maurena
Loquanda
Tymel

*Sigh*

Of course, in my day, I rode the bus to school with Thurman Bowser, Lon Schmuck, and five kids all with the last name "Fartini" as well as a kid named Glen Dwyer (nothing odd about that, but his sister was Barbara -- Barb Dwyer).

I read a newspaper article about names once, names are rarely officially rejected unless it is for the child's own good (over here, at least). The given example was of parents who wanted to name their daughter Urine.

I mean, how dumb..?

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

*adds "ShzonPierre" to the f-ed up names list.

That one just registered today. Whatever happened to "John" "Robert" "Tom" "Jack," et al?

How the hell do you even PRONOUNCE "Shzon"???

I'm just waiting to hear "I spell my name Z-a-r-f-q-u-o-n-z-i. It's pronounced 'Bob.'"

Wasn't there a Swede or Danish couple that tried to name their kid something along the lines of "Bfrxzm1111111116?"
