163. Your AVATAR of John Lennon
just confirms that you are a godless hippie.
John wrote that he "don't believe in Jesus"
and "Don;t believe in Beatles" - even though he was one!
Thereby denying his own existence! (in relation to the group)

You are hurting the party by having him as an Avatar...

Just kidding.
It is good that you are honest enough to say that you would block the ad from your blog.
If you had one.
Shows the spirit of openness that is the democr...oh wait.

But a point of fact:
This ad does not DENY anything.
If there are more than "exactly zero" contemporary accounts of Yesu ben Yusef then quote it.
The clips for the movie speak of the pre-Jeezus hero figures, virgin births and such from previous myths, and the fundies general ignorance -- often quite willful-- of their own religion. It does seem to be anti-ignorance in its posture. And it does point out that so many people believing that jesus is coming back in their lifetimes does tend to make for bad long term planning. And more.

People so very sure of the righteousness of their faith, combined with a lack of interest in discussing historical facts, and willing to KILL for it... and what you see is the danger of alianating some voters.
So go write a blog and block ads you don't like.
Better change that Avatar though.
For thou shalt have no other Avatars before me, thus sayeth the Lord.
