What do you think?

[FlamingoBlue]

Did Jesus ever have an orgasm? Do you think that he masturbated? Do yo think he was gay? I mean, he hung around with 12 guys.

I hope I don't get struck by lightning for asking these questions.

After those action figures I don't even want to think about that shit now......

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

If he did have an orgasm I wonder what he called out?

"Oh Dad!"

 

[Stevie]

I don't belive he existed, but if he did I'm sure he would have eaten, slept, shitted, fucked and wanked like the rest of us.

OH SHIT! LMFAO@Dixon!

I can just hear him up there now..."For MY sake people! First the action figures and now THIS!"

Yep...we're all goin' straight to hell.

Hey, DCL

I bet he would have said " ME!!!!" if he had the big O.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"Oh, FlamingoBlue, I'm coming?" Nah. Too many syllables.

 

[Lasher]

LMAO...

This just reminded me of last X-mas's "South Park" episode with Santa Claus and Jesus doing a lounge act and singing Xmas songs...

"Away in a manger, no crib for a babe... The little lord Meee-eee lay down his sweet head..."


Hehehee.....

Anyways, speaking of Jesus and orgasms... has anyone else here seen "Last Temptation of Christ" ??

 

[CreamyLady]

Anyone here ever read The Woman With The Alabaster Jar?

He and Mary Magdelene had a girl.

I saw Last Temptation of Christ opening morning, 11am show at the Zeigfeld in NYC. I went to the first show because I knew the Catholic protesters would show up. They did, along with CNN. It was a hoot. I was even interviewed (I think because I sat on the sidewalk while waiting in line, and the cameras swooped over to me like I was some kind of zealot who had camped out all night. I didn't have the heart to tell them I got there are at 10:15.)

I have to say, the spectacle outside was better than the movie, which suffered from Scorcese's direction to the actors to speak, and pronounce, everything in contemporary colloquiallisms and inflections. I know he was trying to "de-Hollywood" and "de-Bible" Jesus and the Apostles and make them ordinary men, but it had the effect of making me uber-aware that I was watching filmed scenes. I kept imagining the camerman and the Boom mike and the script girl running around getting coffee and the snack table set just off camera behind the Garden of Gethsamane.

However, the last half hour worked tremendously well, and is worth sitting through the rest of the film. It was so startling and surprising and original that I, finally, felt pulled into Scorces's vision.

 

[Lasher]

I'd have to agree with what you said about the movie itself, DCL... Every time Harvey Keitel was on the screen I felt like I was watching "Bad Lieutenant Goes to the Desert" or something. I have a tough time watching anything Scorcese has done (My wife just forced me to suffer thru "Bringing out the Dead".... She likes Nicholas Cage... But I just sat there the whole time going, "HUH?").... But if you can get past the bad film making, it brings up some interesting points... Like you said, that last half hour was amazing. But that was just one more reason why you should read the book BEFORE you see the movie.

But that was just one more reason why you should read the book BEFORE you see the movie.

I generally prefer reading the book INSTEAD OF seeing the movie.

 

[Never]

Yet another day I wish I did have to toss the fifty something books I once had.
For an intelligent and serious look on this subject, I would recommend 'Born of a Woman' by John S. Spong. In it, the Bishop explores Jesus's birth and whether or not he ever married.
Mr Spong makes a very persuasive argument against literal interpretations of the Bible and how centuries of overlaid male theology have influenced the Bible we read today.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

I never got a good answer to this query.

So, what do you think?? And, don't worry. You won't get struck by lightning.
