Title: Here's Why Everybody Has Their Own Viewpoint
Rapture of the Damned - May 21, 2006 02:59 PM (GMT)
There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone "brother."
2. He liked Gospel.
3. He couldn't get a fair trial.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:
1. He went into His Father's business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33 (Also classifies him as a Geek).
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure he was God.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:
1. He talked with his hands.
2. He had wine with every meal.
3. He used olive oil.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:
1. He never cut his hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time.
3. He started a new religion.
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.
But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:
1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it.
3.And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was work to do!

While this did make me chuckle, it also sucks. Cause stereotypes suck. And I hate them.
:P

*bursts out laughing*
'Tis all just a joke. Good fun this time around, I say.

Funny, but in a bittersweet way.
And where does it say that He liked gospel music?

He never said Gospel music, just Gospel. Like literally, good news.
I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head and walk away. Could this be a bit sacriligious?

Of course it's sacrilegious, that's why it's funny AND bad at the same time
It's like Racist jokes!

I feel kinda bad for finding it funny... :unsure:

I'm not sure that many of those points are in context...I didn't get why a lot of the points were said.

The part of this joke I find flawed is the term 'equally good'.
I find the last one somewhat amusing.
The rest is just, really, true stupidity.

Lol, it's just a joke. No need for everyone to jump into defence mode....
Stereotypes are fun....and fine when they're in a joke.

Not at all. And stereotypes are pretty much always in jokes, which flaws your point. Taking stereotyping to any level above jokes is about the stupidest thing possible.

Isn't that basically what I just said?

By saying "Stereo types are fun...and fine when they're in a joke" insinuated that stereotypes are fun and fine when they're in a joke. But you put that sentence as if it were two seperate statements.

Well Said. It makes you chuckle, but the sad part is that it's really true. It shows that to alot of people, Jesus is just who they want him to be, not who he really is.
