Abstract:
Speaking for other people is a dangerous pursuit, but not nearly as dangerous as trying to speak for God. My job is to study scripture and make my best effort at faithfully interpreting it for students. ...

This is nice, but it belongs in the OPINION section!

You know, some people these days think Jesus is a downer, but he's really an upper!

Anne, your middle name is HOAR. 'Nuff said. Anytime you type anything from here on, I will follow it with "that's what the HOAR said!".

You can make fun of my name now too, d. Now get to the school bus stop or I'm gonna spank!

As an agnostic/atheist, I view this as perhaps THE most important issue of this new century! To solve it or not, in my opinion, means the continuation or not of the human species!

So I'd HAPPILY still welcome the meeting of the faiths so people of all faiths worldwide can put down their weapons and, with a unified voice, argue with people like me instead of killing one another!

I, for one, promise you there's nothing I believe in that will cause me to want to make holy war to the death with you! That applies to any "game" that might result in so much as a PENNY in the pockets of the Military Industrial Complex!

In fact, I suggest that be our incentive to unify - to spite these multinational war profiteers! Incentive enough, I think!

Those that do not accept me as their lord and savior are heathens. Plain and simple. I thought I made that clear? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, except the heathens who are stupid. Maybe some of my editors cut that last part out. But it's important.

Do not associate with heathens! They are evil and being led astray by satan. Surely, if that's true, how can you stand their sight? Follow me! Ignore the heathens!

Does anyone else think it's rather gauche for the person posting above as "Jesus" to mock Christ on September 11, one of the few days of the year when Christianity's influence on America ("God Bless America" on every t-shirt and bumper sticker) is really brought into sharp focus? I mean, mocking a religious figure in any case is bad enough, but on a day like today...

Anyway, I don't think this article should have been published in the Batt. At the very least, it should be in the Opinion section, as Anne pointed out before. This is not a news report or anything close, nor is it tied to any particular event or group relevant to Aggie life, like a fraternity, class, or social event. Why masquerade it as such?

Let it be noted that David Casper used the word "gauche" on 9/11/08 at 2:32 AM CST. David Casper, you dirty gauche.
