That's not much of an image of Jesus on the cross. I mean, there's no cross, and it stops above his waist. It's half a Jesus on nothing.

I'd buy it, so if Jesus did come back i could drop it on his oh so noble head. Then ride the slab of granite over the sea to America and start a new life, be afraid.

It looks more like poo than the prevalent fantasy of Jesus.

Since when was granite boyant?

I was relating it to a biblical story of one guy who rode on a slab of rock to somewhere, and considered an amazing feat and very holy.

Hasn't Jesus got anything better to do than manifest himself in slabs of rock and cheese toasties?

It looks more like poo than the prevalent fantasy of Jesus.

One could use it as an urinal...

However, I actually like the look. I'd bid a few 100 if it is real rock.

Right, because Jesus isn't fantasy, therefore it looks like a lot of things before it looks like the 'fantasy' of Jesus that isn't.

:p

Oh, it's neat, and looks pretty cool... but I don't feel any desire to own it....

It looks like Georgia O'Keefe has finally been promoted to the division responsible for miraculous images. Good for her.

No dungeon in which to place it ? No nice stone fireplace where it would fit ?

Right, because Jesus isn't fantasy,

You keep telling yourself that and who knows, you might just manage to delude yourself into really believing it.

She would accept her award, but sadly she is still in her house...and isn't leaving.

It's nonsense like that that makes me want to fabricate images to make a living.

Jesus *Snorts* on the cross? *Snorts*
He holds his arms high up above his head... what, we´re supposed to believe that this is some kind of *Snorts* magical cross that if put upside down, would like very much like some sort of short sword / dagger?
*Snorts*
A short sword / dagger with a handguard that nearly touches the end of the hilt.
That is.

I was relating it to a biblical story of one guy who rode on a slab of rock to somewhere, and considered an amazing feat and very holy.
I don't remember that one, were you on something when you read about that one?

Oh and it looks more like a stick figure waving it arms, and less like Jesus on the cross. Honestly, what kind of crackpot would buy that?

That rock-Jesus is obese.

Interesting formation, but I think God has better things to do than plaster his image onto a rock.

He's always the last place you look.
Seriously, faith will take you there.

Watch women in the shower?

Hmm.... something something something about idols.....

You keep telling yourself that and who knows, you might just manage to delude yourself into really believing it.

Ok, so I've already been really believing for a while. Any other ignorant blanket beliefs you want to push on me?

Or would you rather sit in your corner and judge me?

Hmm.... something something something about idols.....

They need to be bigger and made of gold?

Hmm.... something something something about idols.....

:D

false idols ... false prophets ...
There shall in that time be rumors of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.

Ignore Fassitude, he just likes to tease others because he thinks he's better because he dosen't belive in God.

Oh, give yourself some credit - it's obvious that nothing ignorant need be pushed on you.

Or would you rather sit in your corner and judge me?

I much prefer pedestals or really tall equines, the better whence to look down on you.

They need to be bigger and made of gold?

Giant gold cheese sandwiches? Oh, i'm SOOOOOO there!

Oh, give yourself some credit - it's obvious that nothing ignorant need be pushed on you.

Mmm, indeed, excellent comeback... maybe you should be awarded a medal for 'uncreatively expressing the exact same sentiment' (colloquially referred to as the I'm Rubber You're Glue Award for Outstanding Toddlerism)

I much prefer pedestals or really tall equines, the better whence to look down on you.

Right, because looking down on people who have a different view than you is the reasonable thing to do. At least I can find solace in the fact that after millions of years of evolution, people like you aren't the only product.

Giant gold cheese sandwiches? Oh, i'm SOOOOOO there!

One question; wouldn't that hurt your teeth? A lot?

Ignore Fassitude, he just likes to tease others because he thinks he's better because he dosen't belive in God.

Thank you for your advice and support.

EDIT: Yay, post 500! It only took like, two-and-a-half years!

Relax, people.

Or those little hand crushing thingys, or a lava lamp, or if you watch the xbox 360 when playing music, the screen-freaky things are awesome! :)
I've spent ages listening to music and watching those cool screen things, probably better than the games i've got for it, don't play it much though it's miles away now.

So... would I be squeezing the monster or the lady for stress relief?

I figured the pic would allow you choose, based on *whatever* type of stress it is. :p

Relax, people.

Noblesse oblige, l'État - c'est toi.

I would never have noticed Jesus in that rock. Some people have an over active imagination.

Hmm.... something something something about idols.....

Idol hands do the devil's work?

I was relating it to a biblical story of one guy who rode on a slab of rock to somewhere, and considered an amazing feat and very holy.
So you are expecting "holy" results from an unholy action. Imagine that!!

Truly "amazing"!! :p

okay,
just bored enough to look at it, it looks like a skull with horns, one on each side, and a mohawk horn in the middle.

It could also look like Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir.

*fun with ink blots*

Looks more like Xenu to me...

I have detected a superfluous comment. It occurs to me that superfluous comments criticizing others beliefs are supposed to be a Christian thing, because that is what Christians are often accused of.

Interesting. Stick around, you'll probably get an interesting response regarding Fass's spiritual side.

Bah! I need no response. I have seen his spiritual side; it is a black hole, which leads to a temple carved in the shape of his head.

It is people like him that make NS...worthwhile.

I already knew about that, and it's completely irrelevent!

Pff, the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared in my butter, but you don't see me going on about it...
Now excuse me while I go on about it...
He really did, too. No foolin'. But since I'm the last man on earth without a camera (well, I have two Super 8mms, but that seems like overkill, and I don't have film right now) and I was hungry, I had to scoop into his Noodly Appendage's visage and make my Mac & Cheese.

You don't see the relevance of "Rocky"? :confused:

I was relating it to a biblical story of one guy who rode on a slab of rock to somewhere, and considered an amazing feat and very holy....I must have missed that one, despite reading about 60% of the bible and hearing the other 40% talked about.

it's a nice rock, I like the grain of it, but it looks about as much like jesus as the stain on the bottom of my trash can

...*puts trashcan on ebay*

also...how is a slab of granite 400 years old? aren't they usually, literally, older than dirt?

That's 'cuz it's not a miracle when he does it, what with the odds of his existence being more in his favour & all. :p

sounds like fox news is once again putting itself securely in the same league with the midnightglobestarinquirer.

400 years isn't long enough to prove anything other then that we've been idiots at least that long, which isn't exactly news at all.
