Imagine reading the bible backwards.
Whoosh Jesus decended from Heaven nailed to a wooden cross, luckily there were some Roman soldiers hanging around, they pulled the cross down, released Jesus, took him to prison and then then set him free, gradually over the years Jesus lost a lot of his followers, through his eratic and stupid behavor, one day he came across a large picnic, 5000 people eating bread and fish, whoosh and he cast a spell and all the food dissapeared. Then there was the terrible incident, where he came upon a group drinking wine, getting drunk, and thinking he was helping them to a more healthy life style, he turned the wine into water. Then he came across a healthy man, placing his hands upon the mans head he turned him into a cripple and told him to get in bed and stay there till he died. Things went from bad to worse, eventually he ended up as a baby in a straw filled feeding trough and the rich men (conservatives} came and stole all his new birthday presents.
In the same vein we go back to Genasis, Adam and Eve, spending all their time boinking and sining, then one day they came upon an apple tree and tasted the apple and god was so outraged he destroyed the world. Amen
Funny, but hardly original.
A great destruction of the World was predicted so the authorities took all of the DNA from every living thing,
Two of every creature of the sea, land and sky.
Bacteria and fungi too, plants and all other things.
Then they put them in an Ark and went to Mars.
I'm glad to see you've found religion Crissie, even if it is a little backward. lol

I see no reason for this mockery. Because you choose to not see the significance of the bible does not give you the right to criticize what others believe holy.
C'mon Robin.
Lighten up girl, it's the Transgender Fun forum.
I was at Mass yesterday evening and I can't see any offence in it.
The fact is I've long had the same thought that the Prophecies might be backward.
Also, you couldn't have heard many Irish comedians.

My beliefs are a major part of who I am. When I read this, I was hurt. If others feel this is acceptable, that's fine. But if it keeps up, I'm gone. I will not make room for this in my life.
Well me too Robin.
I must be much more liberal than you are?
But then again I also have a Masters in Theology.
Yet, I can agree that being open minded is not the same thing as broad-minded.
I am certainly not broad-minded but its no offence to me if others are.

Robin,
In a way, I understand how you feel and sometimes it's seems that the whole world is dumping on Christianity while all the while being afraid to do the same to other religions....and you all know what religion(s) I am referring to.
Being only "somewhat" religious myself, I sometimes ask questions of my own faith. So when someone only disparages my religion while ignoring other religions it makes me sad. Sad that they feel comfortable to say these things about one religion ...yet fearful to say the same about another religion.
I have to admit, I found humor in what was said and after all, the whole thing was premised as "It's not true, but the thought is funny" ..so I was not personally offended.
I am not debunbking anyones personal feelings about religion. Personal experiences of life, left me feeling abandoned, forsaken.
Perhaps Jesus had a sense of humour and would have seen the funny side. Its about rights to have feelings, this was a light hearted slant on something I thought about.
Having that book forced on me as a child for my afliction of being born a Catholic it makes no sense to me which ever way you read it . Try it backwards sideways or upside down it still makes no sense.
I think Cristines post is brilliant and so funny. It is not there to start a war like the Muslim religion would take it as! If it were printed in a national newspaper but about the Quran then we would now be having cars and buildings being blown up and people being murdered in the name of God.
Why can't people who have faith in this book of nonsense have a sense of humour? It is funny , maybe if there was a bloke named Jesus he was just a miserable old git . The way I look at it is Jesus was supposed to be the son of God and Mary gave birth to Jesus and Joseph was a real thick head , he believed Mary got pregnant by his father GOD .
Thou shalt not commit adultery. God must have forgot that bit so does that mean God is/was a Man?.

I have an account there but only to promote @Suffolk_Police I block about 10 people everytime I log in , they want to do things to me "Its true" total strangers. They are obsessed with the letters A and O . I have told them there are another 24 letters in the alphabet but they don't listen.
As for fun here? Well my joke make up tip turned into some kind of militant rubbish , I was only trying to lighten things up a bit .
People should remember before they log in to bring their sense of humour with them.

bible fun yey...
dont forget the writers of the bible making the kings name = the devil or should i say the devil = the king ...
caesar nero's number is 666
im ok my hebrew name rivka is 800 thats good im not the devil feeee u lol
also id rather be whipped everyday by the devil oooo sound fun lol ... than having everything forever be perfect
i am so disapointed in some people's lack of having fun. For the life of me why would someone believe in a story although some find it a good story not me but some and yet the very thing they believe in thinks that transgender people are freaks strange and will go to hell. so my point is if someone actually said these things to you in real life you would be extremely upset so why believe in something that does it in stealth. BTW cris i still think its fantastic
I think Jesus was Gay! When you think about it he spent most of his time hanging out with 12 blokes. They look like a bunch of hippies to me, Here they are at the last take away thing. Any straight bloke would be out humping virgins on his last day.

Some of the comments on this thread are fact and do not qualify under the thread heading Ïts not true, but the thought is funny"
I see that Robin has left unfortunately, which is her loss I believe - I hope that she can find friendship and understanding in whichever Christian faith she believes in. It was a fun idea and very witty I thought, it is a pity that she didn't see it in that light.
[Further comment edited out by poster]
the funny part about the bible it only doesn't like gay ppl etc out of context for eg
line 3 page 1 you pretty much dropped down dead i didnt know if i should ring 999 because of the laughs we will get from how u died
i hate when ppl quote stuff completely out of context like they do in the bible
well lets look at the lines before hand
1 the comedian fell over on the stage as part of his act as he jumped back he tuck the curtain down
2 it was so funny you started laughing out of control to appoint where you couldn't stand up
3 it was funny watching you collapse on the floor it looked like you were having a heart attack or something
4 you pretty much dropped down dead i didnt know if i should ring 999 because of the laughs we will get from how u died
i think everytime some qouts that dam thing they just know some verse out of context i mean you could take harry potter qoute and make it about halfcast imigration if you wanted to
i mean how could god hate gays etc apparently we are to love our nabour no matter the differences .... its not that its contradictory in the bible its just ppls understanding of it and qouting things to suit there argument what ever it may be
its like the declaration of independants i dont thing the right to bare arms is about weapons they never called guns arms back then arms were arms i think it was a right of marriarge or to hug maybe in the new state of govening they created on that day
