    Probably not.

    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

        Correction -- if Christ started posting some of the idiotic crap that atheists and agnostics THINK He would post....
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          "The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

            He's white, has blue eyes and blond hair, and speaks with a British accent. Got a problem with that?

            • I never said he would agree with me. It would probably cause an identity crisis for him to agree with an agnostic.

                    P.S. And I'm sure he would enjoy a nice spotted dick.

                      Idiotic stuff about treating others like you would like to be treated yourself?

                        It would cause some self-doubt to agree with an agnostic...

                        It would be a full-blown identity crisis if he agreed with an atheist...

                          When you say stuff like "what is right or wrong depends on my subjective idea" he might actually agree with you, only pointing out that it is HIS subjective idea it depends on?

                            That would be a HORRIBLE example of idiotic stuff, as he actually SAID that. Come on, Charles, try to be sharp!

                              I sometimes get the impression some Conservatives find it idiotic when they are reminded of it. That was the sharp point.

                                That is beyond dumb.

                                In that case, I'd really hate to hear one of your dull ones.
