Default He's not the son of God, just the support act

An Islamic group who ironically calls themselves "MyPeace" are putting up billboards:

Quote:
The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Rob Forsyth, said it was ''complete nonsense'' to say Jesus was a prophet of Islam. ''Jesus was not the prophet of a religion that came into being 600 years later.''
Pot meet kettle. Your religion is just another version of nonsense, too, Rob.

Half past midnight when I came home on Thursday night/Friday morning I rode past one of those annoying large things about Islam (biggest bloody religious billbord I've seen at the moment) at 70km/h - often wish I could blow it up.

Also the funny thing is that not a lot of Muslims refer to him as "Jesus" and he was a messenger of Allah as well.

Looks like both the kettle and the pot have design issues.

And yet if you suggest the xian god and allah are the same imaginary being most followers of either get all duck lipped and call you names. Go figure.

Now someone just needs to put up a billboard saying "Mohammed was a Scientologist", and let the mayhem ensue.

And based on nonsense that was already an old and tired script by the time Jesus supposedly came along. What with the whole virgin mary and sacrifice thing etc. They can't even invent something original.

I'm more worried about that priest's 'logic'

None of the prophets were prophets because they came around x years before what they prophesied would come about came about?

Id chip in for a mohammed was an X poster so long as it mentions the age of his 'wives'

It didn't take long for christians to be "unchristian" about these billboards

http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/billboard-...529-1faz4.html

Looks like some christians may be so insecure in their own faith, that they can't handle it being challenged.
