Well, I have noticed that there isn't very many threads on here that someone doesn't get offended at. I don't think there are too many posters that haven't offended at least one person at one time. I think people are just a little too serious about too many things that really aren't. "You live, you die and everything in between is just entertainment."

Certain things aren't worth getting offended at, but there are certain things that I can see why a person would be offended.
I'll remember that the next time I support Jbeee in his rants against the killer country south of us or in my objections to deifying those that choose to make it their life mission to go over seas to kill people on my dime.
Ya! This thread should have been posted under Fun and Games but I don't think the OP expected this kinda silly stuff (or maybe he did, in which case, whack his pee pee!).
I saw the op as absurd and knowing Beaver that is what he wanted it to come out as , so people like Gerry are going to have to lighten up. Humour has many subjects , Sex, ethnic, politics and religious. I wonder if it was a subject on islam if there would of been any feed back. If not then who's the hypocrit?
Wasn't Mohamed a camel humper?
Serious people kill each other. There aught to be a law... Oh! There is.8O
Laughter has saved my life on several occasions. It is the only defense against serious people. Plus, when I was hit by the logging truck, a friend came in the hospital every day and told me jokes. This guy actually talked in puns all the time. Well, I was supposed to be in there for 2 or 3 months but after 12 days I had some friends rescue me and take me home, that way I was able to escape having to endure his punning any more.:lol:
i believe jesus was just a regular human being like a magician, whats offensive about that? I think calling him an aliens is more offensive, and calling him human is more....reasonable_ : /

I meant no offense but I was aware offense could be taken. It's impossible to exist without causing offense to be felt by another. Children easily take offense, even old children. However if no one took offense there would be no human growth of any kind whatever so getting offended is an absolute necessity for humans. Are you offended by greed, are you offended by injustice, are you offended by ignorance, are you offended by poverty? If you're not offended by something then you might as well be dead, even Jesus was often offended.
The OP, Jesus is very likely not of this world, like the man said, so where did he come from? Where could his Kingdom be? This undemocratic place we all die to get to.

Yeah.
The way I see it is that if the guy actually existed, who is to say that he wasn't an ET? Or that gods aren't ETs? IMO, one postulation is as good as a guess is as good as an hypothesis because there's no proof of anything either way.
Good point. A while back I made a case for the idea that the beginning of life on Earth was a random event and was dissed for it even though I posted scientific evidence supporting my view.
Shyte happens and everyone is a hypocrite at some point.
I find it hard to read an article without letting the past expressed opinions of the poster tint my view, thus I find it hard to believe that db wasn't being mocking, thus offensive by default.
But, to pretend for a second that the op is an earnest attempt to discuss the nature of god, I don't think putting the label 'extraterrestrial' on most people's notions of god is flawed at all. Trying to say god was a little green alien, now that would be flawed. Saying he's from beyond the earth, technically correct by the teaching of the bible, and churches all across the world. It's how you view the term 'extraterrestrial' that makes it right or wrong I suppose. Semantics and nothing more.

I think it'd only be more offensive if the ET was a wiorse being than a human. If the ET was better (like more peaceful, wiser, knowledgeable, etc.) than a human, then how could it be offensive?
