"Damn Paul, this Old Testament is becoming a real bear to keep up with, too many rules, we can't do everything God wants."

"I hear you Matthew and I have an idea. Lets say a married virgin gives birth to the son of God and this son has come here to save us. All you need to is accept this son and you will go to heaven"

"I like that idea Matt, we can still screw one another over but all is good because we 'believe' in the son', SWEET! Now lets get writing"

Umm, Paul, you do know that this new religion we are trying to sell is gonna piss quite a few people off don't ya? We are liable, to get beheaded over this crap if we are lucky or crucified, boiled in oil, or burned alive if we are not. Look what you guys did to brother Stephen back before you switched teams.

Matt, quit being a sissy. We are selling the idea of a new religion based on a dead guy coming back to life to people who already have religions they are willing to die for. That is gonna take some aggressive marketing and a few of us are gonna have to take one for the team. Quitting the pharisee business was the best thing I ever did. The money and the perks were obviously awesome, and it took me a lifetime to get where I was but I always wanted to start my own religion....get in on the ground floor so to speak. If it takes off we'll be freaking legends after we are dead but I doubt we see much in the short term.

How bout the twelve? Are they down with this?

Certainly. Don't know if you heard but Pete sold his fishing boats and Luke gave up his medical practice. We all figure that if we can survive for a few years without getting killed by the Jews or Romans, we can make more money peddling this new religion to poor people. You still thinking about returning to the tax collecting gig?

I'm thinking about it but you make the idea of a lifetime of self sacrifice and death cheating to advance this con sound so appealing. Sometimes I feel like I'd rather be crucified than to go back into government services.

Atta boy Matt. I always knew you had it in ya! Let's go down to the Synagogue and rattle some cages. When they flog us, I bet I can take more licks than you before screaming out in pain...cause after all, you are a big sissie!

I gotta hand it to you Paulie....you always could make martyrdom seem fun!

These threads crack me up.

I recently watched a documentary about a local man who spent 25 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. He said you don't have to join a gang in prison to be safe but to make it known immediately that if someone harms you there would be repercussions. Once the word got around that there would be payback if someone harmed you were relatively safe. He also learned that the best way to avoid fights was to NEVER argue about politics, RELIGION or what to watch on TV.

I am enjoying some of the discourse being shared by the believers in this thread.

Well said.

And while we are at it, new converts don't have to cut off the end of their pecker. That should help us grab some market share!
