"DUDE"
02/12/2008 11:54
One day, you too will have to face the "Dude with a cross on his back" HE will remind you of your portrayal of HIM today. This type of writing is just to be controversial and will no doubt lead to a desired number of responses. To be frank even your "Hot S^%$t in the sack" comments of past when referring to your 'claimed' abilities is better scribbling than the above. - Ian |

NIce article David
02/12/2008 11:57
Nice article bro, prepare to be swamped by all the religious fanatics on this site. I think religious apsects as a whole tend to be boring while the fact that aliens could exist (I believe there could be other matter but Aliens as in movies? doubt it) is a very exciting prospect. Hence its like comparing Chess to rugby, no one is goint to crack open a beer on a saturday arvie to watch a chess match on tellie, I believe chess at the top level is more demanding though. Just a thought. - Crimson |

02/12/2008 12:07
Supernatural does not equal aliens. If that was the case, it would be plausible. The existence of aliens to me is more plausible than a god.
But in the survey it cites supernatural... I'm surprised since that could easily be the case since believing in a god and the supernatural requires the same leap of faith. :) - Simon |

02/12/2008 12:11
Why have you chosen those scenes with regard to God,surely you did watch those movies to be able to choose better scenes.Come on,are you trying to convince us that you believe in aliens and not God because the Media has managed to convince you so and God has done nothing to help us be convinced of His existance?God works in mysterious ways.Ways that the natural man cannot discern.You need a lot more to comprehend this one,not just logic my friend.One day,it shall be revealed and you will know! - nthatuwa |

02/12/2008 12:25
As a Christian, which I'm not ashamed of, that you refer to Jesus as a "Dude". The difference is that Jesus came in the flesh to the earth to die for me and you over 2000 years ago and has proven Himself which is documented and does not have to appear in a movie. This same "Dude" that you refer you is coming back and whether you like it or not, you are going to bow your knee to Him and everyone else. Remember, God is not mocked and there is consequences. Accept Jesus and see the difference. - andr?i> |

God is supernatural
02/12/2008 12:56
Any God is supernatural, so the 54% saying they believe in God must be included in the 58% that say they believe in the supernatural. Aliens, on the other hand, are not supernatural. And The Last Temptation of Christ is a pretty good movie :-) - CTheB |

Belief is not fact
02/12/2008 12:57
Belief in Aliens or God are personal points of view based on our culture, hopes, fears ect.
If you believe in something it does not mean it is true, in order for a belief to be true it has evidence to back up that belief.

Aliens are way more believable than God, mysterious ways, yeah right, how about no ways at all. The only piece of proof Christians have is a book written by some 'dudes' a very long time ago. Maybe if in a few thousand years all the books get destroyed and the only remaining book on earth is Peter Pan people will worship him, that would rock at least he can fly not only walk on water. - ALL MAN |

There is no documented evidence of Jesus existance other than the Bible.
Please dont quote the Bible as reference to the existance of Jesus it is not undenaible proof.
No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people written long after the time of his supposed death. - slanesh |

You people who go on about 'God shall not be mocked' obviously know more about how God thinks than the rest of us -- personally, I think even God has a sense of humour (look at the Platypus for proof!!!) and I reckon He's laughing His ass off with the rest of us at David's column -- well written, Dave!! - Rodders |

02/12/2008 14:03
Umm...in fact very few athiests believe there was a specific man called Jesus of whom the Bible speaks. Slanesh is right - outside the Bible there is 0 proof that Jesus ever existed - the two extra-biblical references are interpolations by later writers. Just because its in a book doesn't mean its true - xtianity is Paul's creation - he did a good job fooling people for 2000 years - less and less believe though and soon the game will be up. - Warren |

@Slanesh&Chops
02/12/2008 14:04
Hey Chops, you're right to a point, there is more proof of Christ's existence than Napoleon living but as much documented historical proof of His death, resurection and being taken up to heaven. Why you think he was around for so long after His resurection? Slanesh has a serious lack of education, sounds like Zuma's followers. - KM |

Do you honestly expect any intelligent person to believe what the Bible says happened when every single other historian is silent. For example, supposedly when Jesus died on the cross, the sky went black and the DEAD ROSE AND WALKED AMONG THE LIVING! Huh? That would be an extremely important and relevant (not to mention disgusting and scary) event. And not one historian, not even one wrote about it. Yet they busied themselves writing about the thickness of city walls. Please! pull the other one. - Warren |

Worthless Opinion
02/12/2008 14:33
I value peoples opinions when they give them in truth, but when people merely make statements to draw reactions from others I get seriously pissed off. It's that kind of mentality and the seemingly oblivious sentiment towards others that break down the moral fibre in our normal everyday lives. If you cannot even respect someone else enough to simply leave them and their beliefs alone then you are not worthy of respect yourself. - Huuyga |

Facts for Warren
02/12/2008 15:02
Jesus was hang on a stake not a cross check Jewish and Roman history.
The sky went dark as in overcast.
The dead were not raised, tombs split open and the corpses were seen in the city. Read the accounts carefully. As for a historian try Josephus. Additionally the bible more than sufficiently fills the requirements to be history.
Times, dates and names. As for the article I get the point, some believe what ever is on TV without checking - Watcher |
