kooka_lives -- no doubt that is how it would go
If Christ returned as people think he has promised, those same people would not recognize or acknowledge him and they would eventually kill him or at least render him ineffective. The problem is that your modern day bible thumper has had nearly 2,000 years of nonsense crammed down their gullets. It's all they know of their own faith, the fairy tales and myths. If something real ever actually happened to them in terms of an event worthy of becoming part of their doctrines, (as if this were possible) they wouldn't recognize it for what it is if it bit them on the ass.

Any money that is going to be made off of my sacrifice for humanity is going to have to be give at least 70% to me, otherwise whoever made the money will suffer a fate beyond horror. I'll get back to you on what that will be, since I am not in my most imaginative state of mind right now. So if you tape my torture by man, I better see so green coming my way.

And it would be the believers who would be behind it. The non-believers would just say 'Aren't you over reacting a little there?' I seriously would not put it past the Christian community to kill their own messiah because he offered new ideas that went against their beliefs. For some reason God ain't about to update his laws to make them fit with the changing times and anyone who preaches otherwise is going to be in trouble.

kooka_lives - that is one thing that I feel certain about
If a messiah of any type appeared in this day and age, he would meet much the same fate as the first so called messiah.

kooka_lives - it seems to me that being the adversary to the next messiah
is a much better gig.
Think about it, Satan invented drugs, alcohol, tobacco and pornography. He must be loaded and besides, they didn't string him up like they did the last messiah.

janeybaby
actually you are wrong.
the only thing we have regarding Jesus is the New Testament and various writings that The Church have regarded as spurious and blasphemy.
and a mention in Josephus (which is pretty good)
but -- Socrates was Alexander's mentor. We have pretty good note of his existence.
please, please, please -- don't go off the deep end.
making statements that are so easily contradicted.
okaqy -- here -- you make the statement -- now provide the eivdence behind your statement.
1+1=2
a=b and b=c therefore a=c
see how easy it is?
don't go saying all cats are lions when they aren't.

FIRST GET A SOTHERN ACCENT
check out the 700 club
all the televangelists
imitate their accents and ways of speaking
and their "good ol' boy" mannerisms.
and declare outright that god speaks to you.
problem is you might be skating onthin ice
because unless you are an established public figure, if you declare that god speaks toyou, then people will say you are crazy and admit you to an institution (where most of these guys belong anyway)..

LATEST PROPHET
I would pour you and all your doctrines thru my "bullshit" screens, as well as thru those of my friends, the Atheists and Agnostics! If (fat chance!) all those screens came up empty, I might eventually, after repeated screenings, begin to wonder if I should (maybe) at least consider the merit of your claims! Maybe.

And yet I would venture to guess that you believe everything you might
read about Socrates?
I find it ironic that people have no trouble believing what they read on the ancient Greeks from Plato's writings - in spite of the limited evidence as to their existence and the gaps in the manuscripts - yet have trouble believing that Christ walked this earth. There is more data and earlier manuscripts to prove the existence of Jesus than there is to prove the existence of these early Greeks.

Okay, the typo has been fixed
It has just been a long day and a tired prophet makes mistakes.

What's the point of being a prophet if you ain't gonna make a profit?

kooka_lives - the first thing he would do is learn to spell prophet
but maybe that was a Freudian slip?
