Nah, I think Anne Neville had it right from the beginning: he’s just a garden-variety idiot.
Yeah, I’d hit that.
Standard evangelical dogma - only they have the one true godbeingperson.
Which can go to ridiculous extremes. I once had a boss (talking to a client from their church) pound his fist on the table and state unequivocally that they had the One True Church of Jesus, and all others had fallen for Snares of Satan. (That’s verbatim.)
He was talking about other Baptist sects.
… I think I know why God decided to incarnate.
He wanted to be able to play drinking games based on the idiocies His creatures manage to come up with. If they are in His name, use the big glass.
Friend of mine’s getting married this summer and he mentioned that he’s wondering how one of his relatives, who happens to be Baptist, is going to react when she sees the minister for the wedding–the minister is a woman and is also Baptist.
Tell him to not unwrap her present until AFTER the wedding.
Or who’s left.
Schisming is a popular hobby among Baptists.
You’re very likely right… A quick Googling supports Ishmael in the Koran, Isaac in the Bible. My error; it’s been too long since I read the Koran.
I dibs Gustavus Adolphus!
I’ll have Eisenhower. The equipment and subordinates come with the guy, right?
Post/user-name genius.
“Moon god” ?
I would worship the FUCK out of the Moon. I think it would be “goddess,” though. Everyone knows the Sun is a guy, the Moon is a chick.
Naw, all Moon Knght fans know from Khonshu.
I’m surprised by the way Dom DeLuise played the Muslim and Omar Shariff played the Christian. Interesting casting choices.
It’s a bizarre idea. The notion that other churches are worshiping the wrong Jesus rather than worshiping Jesus wrongly seems to suggest there were several Jesuses preaching in first century Jerusalem and each church picked the one they liked.
Um… I surrender, and immediately apply for post-war rebuilding funds.
Ask the Numenoreans and Noldor… Or the next Hobbit you chance to meet.
Other way around. All other churches are not real churches. It is, or has been, a Baptist thing; as I understand it, at various points in the past, it has been a Baptist doctrine has been that they have a clear, direct line of succession all the way back to the very first apostolic church. In some homeopathic way, they took this to mean that they were that church, and all other churches were false.
Of course, since they are also prone to splitting over all sorts of weird stuff*, and they tend not to recognize the other splinter as legitimate, figuring out just which Baptist church is the “real” one is problematic. (Well, not for members. They all know that it’s their congregation, and all those others are lost and hellbound because they once let a Methodist come to their church picnic or something.)
*For example, “alien immersion”–a term I recall due to the WTF images it inspired when I was a kid–caused several instances of church mitosis in my home town. This is why the town has 15 Baptists churches when its population is only ~2500.
Or if you want to ask someone who you’ll only need a time machine, instead of Skald’s space-time continuum buggy, ask the ancient Greeks.
The only real Moon God.
There is only one god
He is the sun god
Ra, Ra, RA!!!
