So, there’s this professor of religion who has started saying that Jesus was a Muslim. He even wrote a book about it.
Now, I know religious studies probably aren’t as big on timelines of when events happen as say History people, but there is a slight problem with his assumption.
You know, about 600 YEARS!
“But Lucius, what do you care about Christians and Muslims, you’re a Heathen?” some might ask.
Because I have a problem with stupidity.
Apparently (reading the article) Islam isn’t the Islam we all know and fear (if we’re smart) or love (if we have a suicide complex). Islam is about Social Change and Social Justice, and Jesus apparently could get behind all this an so Jesus was a Muslim (apparently before there were Muslims, Mohammed, or even anything like it).
Completely disregarding that Socialism, and this whole “Social Change/Justice” bs has it’s roots in Christianity (not Islam).
Le Sigh. Is it any wonder I’m a bloody Heathen?

I love some of the crazier Christian theories out there – just so I can tout them out and set my Christian friends’ teeth on edge should the occasion be warranted – but this is pretty stupid.

Well, there’s the fun and exciting idea that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. Open that up in front of a bunch of fundies – I DARE YOU.

oh i love that one, and the ever fun response when they insist he wasn’t. “So…he ran around with 12 dudes and no women…for how many years? Sounds like he liked da menz. ;)”

Now now. Its not nice to pick on these people, after all they can’t help that their holy book has been rewritten so many times Twilight is more believable. Nor can they help that the Bible has been subject to the kind of rigorous editing process usually reserved for New York Times Best Sellers with almost a dozen of its ‘books’ cut from it’s hallowed covers and held from the public in the Vaticans Black Library.
In all honesty we should probably be pitying these poor unfortunates.

There was no ‘christian’ or ‘muslim’ back then, there were just forms of belief. Jesus was just a man who walked the earth, claiming to be the ‘son of god’.
Back when magick could still be called upon by the willful. He wasn’t a child of a god, he was a damn mage with a few parlor tricks.
But that’s just my belief.
