Also, if Jesus and God are one in the same, why did he get baptized? Wasn’t he already without sin? ---

> [@copperwindow](#): > > Is god still angry at me for eating of the fruit? Yes, so feel free to blame everything bad in your life on sin. Everything good in your life, you can credit to coming from God when he momentarily feels forgiving. He’ll go back to being angry right after. God’s fickle. ---

> [@copperwindow](#): > > Is god still angry at me for eating of the fruit? I have checked with Athena, both Thors, Bailey Quarters, and Gibbs. Athena feels the question is silly. Holding grudges is unwise and she is the goddess of Wisdom. Both Thor and Thor have asked me to remind you that he/the is/are god(s) of fertility as well as thunder, not to mention being the Son(s) of Earth. He/They feels you honor Them in partaking of his bounty but also remind you that man does not live by apple alone; beer is also good. Bailey is sweet and loving and only wants you to be happy. Gibbs remarks, testily, that one does not touch a Marine’s food if one wishes to live. Obviously, since you are not dead, it was not his fruit so he doesn’t care. ---

Along the lines of; _Every Sperm is Sacred, Every Sperm is Great If a Sperm gets wasted, God gets quite irate!_ Fruit is for eating. That is how the seeds get dispersed. NOT eating the fruit is the sin. ---

> [@copperwindow](#): > > Also, if Jesus and God are one in the same, why did he get baptized? Wasn’t he already without sin? If you believe Christian mythology, the baptism was required to fulfill specific predictions from OT prophesy and clearly introduce Christ to the world. But it is clear from the Gospel accounts that this detail of Christ’s life was an embarassment for those who considered him the Son of God. The latest gospel of John puts words in the Baptist’s mouth that Jesus should be the one baptizing him–which sound a bit like the evangelist is trying to sweep this detail under the rug. ---

> [@Kobal2](#): > > Sez the gal who turned Medusa into a monster for the abject crime of getting raped by Poseidon. That is a vile slander put about by the worshippers of the sad and pathetic Zeus, long since deposed and removed of the burden of his testicles in the same manner as his grandfather. In sum, I’ll be needing you to take that back. ---
