Wow, was the last post here really in February?

I guess I should post something just to see if it's still working.

So I'm doing a play, a comedy, and at one point my line is, "Jesus Christ, I'm in the shower." which is funny, because I'm off stage and walk back on soaking wet.

During rehearsals it was a bit awkward to say the line, not because I'm offended (I'm not a Christian), but because other people are, and I don't feel comfortable blaspheming the Christian deity. If the line were "Blessed Allah, I'm in the shower" or perhaps "Allah u Akbar, I'm in the shower," I'd probably be in hiding under a fatwa.

Could it be that Christians are generally more tolerant, and will accept that it's part of a play and not being blasphemous? I mean, it's not like I'm putting a crucifix in a bucket of urine and calling it art.

Food for thought.

LOL im a christian, and i think its funny, dont worry we say stuff like that alot too... at least i dont mind, maybe some people would be offended but i dont see why

usually its because the name JESUS CHRIST at that moment was not exactly said in a loving way...but with anger or disgust...thats why...or, like someone who is being called out or on the carpet because they were caught doing something wrong etc.

and Christians these days are of the less strict forms to the point its almost a shame to be known as one...they use their religion only when its convenient...a feel good moment ...not as it should be used.

Hi guys,

As I have said before, I think the true Christian faith is going from this world. Please stop steaming for just a few moments and put yourself in my shoes.

I was raised in a protestant church learning the KJV bible and listening to migraine inducing sermons from backwoods preachers every time the church doors were open but at the same time I saw corruption, deep sin and the deepest of the fallen in the private lives of my aunts and uncles thus especially my own mother and father.

My father, a deacon in the church at the time, was screwing an eighteen year old girl from the church the very night that I was born and his taste for "Ladies of the Night"(as he would so innocently call them) is the sole reason my mother and he got a divorce, shortly thereafter he got married to one of them. However good ole dad and the rest of that generation could go to church and pretend that they were the White and Holy lot on church hours.

My GrandFather and GrandMother are the only ones that have ever lived up to the bill of sale when it comes to their dedication to the Christian Lifestyle but for some reason their Children fell off the map and this is not just in the one Church. No this is too many for me to name, not that I am going to call names here. I know people who make their living off of the "Name of Christ" that I could destroy with the information I have on them but they would just come back and say "Well that was before I got saved." or something to that effect and then go about their business. The truth might hurt them but it would not kill them as it should.

Christianity is the only religion in history where a person can be a tyrant all his life and then go to heaven but be a sinless virgin all his life and go straight to hell.

Mbass pretend your in a time machine and go back 200 years to downtown Boston and then yell out "Jesus Christ" and you might find a differed response.

In the meantime I am done with that nonsense. I am no longer a conformist in that church. Beltane is in full swing and the moon is full on the fifth so there is much to celebrate.

Help All, Harm None and Live Life.

only time Christians can go straight to hell is with a denouncement of GOD.

Illusive I don't plan to argue with you and you know how much I love especially you so just to be clear I do not know what the plan is and I don't think that there is one person here on this planet that really does.

For instance the Church of Christ does not believe that Christians should have instruments in the church house because they are a distraction but the General Baptists sometimes have a whole band. The Southern Baptists wash feet but the Pentecosts believe that one man should not touch anothers body man or woman. Some of these are critical hell-bound differences and some are not but one thing is for certain and that is if it were not for the law of the land and the lack of time all of the different factions would be warring and killing much more than the shiites and sunnis have ever achieved.

I was raised to believe that if you are a christian and you die with sin on your conscience then christian or not it is a short ride to hell. There is no room in heaven for the backslidden and I believe that it is the same way in the Catholic religion as well.

hey i will not go into the Christian aspects was raised that (STRICT Catholic)and first chance i had to get away from it i DID...lol...wayyyyyyy to many contradictions and always when it was for the convenience of the believer or its CHURCH...and having a cousin CARDINAL CHOKE...and having myself taught at one time 6th grade CCD boys...believe me when i say...we were taught noooooooo only if you TOTALLY denounce God then you went to hell.

besides kinda hard to condemn someone of errrm sins committed by the Father and the SON BOTH....i aint going there

and there is that nasty word again..."argue" i dont "argue" ...

You see illusive now that is exactly what I was gnawing at. A full blown Catholic will tell you that if you die without recieving last rights or without going to confession shortly before then your last sins will drag you to hell.

Monotheists have a monopoly on living short brutal lives that are bound to send them straight to the bowels of fire. At least Hindus can look forward to living again and trying to get it right the next time and so can Buddhists. I feel like if there is a next life for me then it may be just as trivial as this one because the cycle of life never ends.

Chop, burn or even pull the forest up by it's very roots but over time you will watch it grow back just the way it was and that is the same way with the moon and the oceans, boil that water away and it will fall as rain - Cycles - Everything works in cycles.

The spirits are with us and they teach us that everything is alive and never really dies. Science has tried to take away our imaginations but for me the more I know the more I want to know so my belief in the other world becomes more concrete every day.

i absolutely with solid convictions believe in life beyond this...to what level now who knows in reality but ..nah it doesnt end here ...

The forums still work! ;D Awesome! Hi guys!

Mbas, what's the context of the line? Like is it "Hey Jesus, I'm in the shower!" or "JESUS CHRIST... I'm..." Just curious.

Sounds like fun. Would love to know how it goes! What's the whole skit about? I think it'll be fine. Doesn't sound like anything offensive to me.
