Re: Can I tell the truth, Jesus?
I approach Jesus. "Where are the references that show your credentials?" I laugh and walk away. He thumps a Bible on the table. "It's customary to ask for two pieces of ID." I add, " Photo ID." The rest is silence.

He has probably had His image drawn up more than the other 3 combined.... So has Snoopy. Edited by Ringo, : Added signature.

Re: Will the rest of the world please wrath up?
Omnivorous writes: I just want to say that there are an awful lot of Asian, American, African and Australian Gods who are very unhappy with your OP. That's where my cross-examination is going. First I want proof of identity from all of them. Then I want proof of omnipotence. (I'm not sure how the retro-proof of creation is going to work out.) As we eliminate the imposters, we can roll in the next batch of contenders.

Omnivorous writes: You could be the living acid test, Ringo. I was thinking of shooting them one at a time to test their immortality. The omnipotent and/or fairlipotent might eat me in self-defense. I'm mulling over whether or not to make the sacrifice in the name of Truth TM.

Re: Will the rest of the world please wrath up?
Omnivorous writes: So how about you and them fight? Remember the three-way gunfight at the end of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? The key is in deciding Whom to shoot first. If I shoot one of the imposters and the others all panic and zap me, will you be able to tell which one is the Real Thing? Can you tell the Real Zap from a parlour trick? The only reliable test is if I shoot the Right One and He/She doesn't die.

Re: for the record
Phat writes: I wanted to present the evidence in John 1 as well. Objection. John can not testify to Jesus' identity until John's own identity is established.
I submit that the darkness of human reasoning cannot fathom the light as defined by Johns author. Objection. If John's author was human, why wouldn't his reasoning be as dark as anybody else's?
I submit that Jesus is mentioned in the top bestselling book and that the other candidates are not... Objection: The "top bestselling book" is irrelevant. First, it is a bestseller only because its adherents are required to own a copy. Second, the other candidates are mentioned in countless books and oral traditions where Jesus is not. Third, popularity has no bearing on any of the candidates' claims. I move that all mention of "the Bible" be stricken from the record.

Re: Can I tell the truth, Jesus?
Rob writes: Well, if you live to see the dead raised at the rapture as prophesied by Ezekiel, will that be enough of an earthquake to shake your foundation? You're missing the point of the thread. The evidence has to be presented here, in the courtroom. We're not interested in sitting around waiting for the Gotterdammerung.

Re: Can I tell the truth, Jesus?
Rob writes: That's why your blind! Justice is supposed to be blind. In this courtroom, all of the candidates are on an equal footing. They all have to offer the same level of evidence. If you don't like that, you can go outside and preach on the street corner. This is not the place for you.

Re: Can I tell the truth, Jesus?
Rob writes: I wasn't talking about justice. Well, the rest of us are - equal justice for all of the candidates for the position of "God". A level playing field. Now, would you care to present some evidence for the candidate of your choice? Or does He need a better advocate than you?

Re: the party at the hospital
Archer Opterix writes: The self-abusive woman had an idea for a costume that involved cutting off her head and carrying it to the party under her arm. That would be a hell of a costume if it wasn't for the logisitc problems. We could try that as an option to my "shoot 'em all" proposal. Cut off all their heads and see Who rises on the third day.
