Oh now c'mon man.......Wait a freakin' minute.....universal quest for the nature of god?????.........Are you huffin' me? Gimmee a break........

Albert Schweitzer did an excellent work back in the mid 50's called "A Quest for Historical Jesus" and it was an interesting exercise in establishing that this man did exist. This thread is an amateurish attempt to figure out if the lad had a dick. Not at all the same thing and I'm curious as to how we can learn of the nature of god through an examination of JC's tool!

Let's try not to read too much into it huh?

Amos, the laying on of hands is one thing but what you are suggesting...I mean a good Jewish boy would NEVER...well not in PUBLIC anyway...I mean the tsurrus to the family... well, it just wouldn't happen, thats all.
Better he should get married and stop all this schlepping around the country with these fishermen and tax collectors like a schnorer and worrying his poor mother half to death and come home and go to work with his father in the carpentry shop.

troll...who could go on in this vein for hours.

I think Lenny said the difference between a Jewish girl and a schikse is that the gentile girl "wouldn't let you touch it, but the Jewish girl would let you touch it....your own, that is."

Difference between a Jewish Mother and an Italian Mother. The 18-year-old daughter stays out until four o'clock in the morning. The Jewish Mother crys "You're going to kill me!"
The Italian Mother crys " I'm gonna kill you!"

Having devoted the last 1/2 hour of my life to reading this thread and deciding the debate has been exhausted, or at least isn't likely to attract significant new or enlightened thought (but please prove me wrong), herewith my two cents.

Christ was equiped with all the moving parts of the average male of humankind. Whether he used those parts carnally does not matter to my faith as a Christian. Temptation was one of his major teachings so it would be logical that he had and used his penis. The method God used to impregnate Jesus' mother doesn't really matter to my faith, but did the Holy Spirit enter as sperm, flesh, or some other place along the line of miraculous conception is a question for people who have more time on their hands than me, who should I expect think about spending at least equal time on the gospels. The subject doesn't offend me in the least, as it has an academic element, and it does amuse me. Frankly, just as I see Christ as the first great socialist (hey, there's another thread...), I see him as having a sense of humour. How could he not if he was a man?

Finally, I've never found anyone in Mudcatland trying to convert anyone else or foisting their views on others. It's virtually impossible as this is a virtual place. Personal faith can hardly offend before it violates nature.

Is there any hidden meaning in my waiting 'till Sunday to post here?

Peace. Mooh.
