Thought Pi was a good film. The soundtrack was even better.

Aye, they were ten a penny. I would imagine the figure that came to be known as Jesus is probably some amalgamation of lots of them. Also, a lot of Christianity is influenced by the writings of Paul, who only met Jesus after he was dead which, again, I have a few issues with. Interesting fella though. I saw his blood in Bruges. Looked like a sausage

No, that was Spartacus.

Moses, who also quite possibly didn't exist, got there first.
-
Totally agree about the influence of him, which is amazing whether he existed or not. Even more so if it's the latter
-
That backs up my point though. Nothing contemporaneous whatsoever. Josephus and the Roman scholars mentioned were all born after Jesus was supposed to have died. I'm not saying that proves a lack of existence, as you can't prove a negative, but it also provides sweet fa in terms of anything remotely tangible from Jesus' life. And even those mentioned didn't say much about him. I think there's even a suggestion some of the writings may have included later insertions too.

Generic small time football blather thread 2015/16

This makes me feel really old. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39941716 -
I always find the selectivity amusing when recounting stories from it. Like you never get told as a kid about the zombies running around Jerusalem when you're learning about the Easter story. Would make for a better story like but it does tend to make it slightly less believable as well.
-
That's a fair point but I guess there are a lot of historical figures for whom there are contemporaneous accounts. Jesus isn't one of them. I tend to think that he either didn't exist or he did but the tales about him are wildly inaccurate.

Bellamy was signed after Jeffers went to Arsenal instead of coming to us and Robert was 2nd choice after Zenden opted to go to Chelsea. Just shows that even a manager as good as SBR needs a bit of luck now and again.

No one actually believes you think that's a bad thing btw

Last time I went we won but that was tempered somewhat by it being comfortably one of the worst games of football I've ever seen
-
There's virtually no evidence outwith the Bible he even existed. And that's fucking sketchy at best.

Alex replied to Anorthernsoul's topic in Newcastle Forum
Darlow's got potential, Elliott is more than decent as back-up. -
Has to be a parody account like. I'm looking at you, Adios.

Think Tooj and I are going to get ourselves along to that.

Both were shown free on telly last year for those reasons weren't they?
