Dunno if this has made the rounds yet, but it's a pretty funny debate:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgHfq0epSJg
No, no atheist propaganda, Lukster, you can go back to bed. They try to "solve" the differences between the two religions in 3 minutes, good stuff.
-
More like Beavis vs Butthead except that Beavis and Butthead are funny.

chair... I am not a christian but I don't have the hard on for em that you do. Did one of em scare you as a child? You seem to think they are all stupid and dangerous and that the only salvation for the world is athiesm.
Marx thought that... people who think that allways end up substituting something for religion and....9 times out of ten... it is worse.
Athiests scare me more than christians or... even most muslims.
Agnostics scare me the least.

Lazs: Get over it. My post has nothing to do with atheism, try not to threadjack. I mentioned that as a playful jab at lukster (who has been post-stalking me on anything near religion).

me get over it? I am not the one who posts 90% of his posts about some flaw with religions or religious people while pretending to be an uninterested (LOL) "athiest".

Stalking? I answer when you call me out is stalking? Your strawman is made of, uh, straw.
I have a sense of humor and it isn't bound by piety. I can laugh at myself and my religion if there's something funny. I'm sorry but Jerry Lewis at his worst is funnier than those guys.
Funny stops being when it has to explain itself.

Look, you want me to create some sort of shades account to post a funny video? That's not my style. You've been spectacularly wrong about me and my motivations before (remember the whole "i think chairboy is a gun hating socialist" thing?) and that's the case again.
I just thought it was a funny video. That's it. Grow up.

The concept has funny potential, the execution was poor.

Listen.. there is no doubt, so why the constant debates?
Agnostic folks are the best and they dont bother others as much as religion folks.
-
chair... try to at least be honest.
It was funny to you because it made fun of religion/religous people.
If anyone cared enough about athiests to make a funny video you would not post that.
You are simply obsessed with religion. Why won't you admit it?
Why can't you be (quietly) proud that you are one of the tiny little fraction of believers in the athiest religion and stop preaching?

Here's a funny debate:
Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to leave Italy. There was, of course, a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with a leader of the Jewish community. If the Jewish leader won the debate, the Jews would be permitted to stay in Italy. If the Pope won, the Jews would have to leave.
The Jewish community met and picked an aged Rabbi, Moishe, to represent them in the debate. Rabbi Moishe, however, could not speak Latin and the Pope could not speak Yiddish. So it was decided that this would be a "silent" debate.
On the day of the great debate, the Pope and Rabbi Moishe sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
Rabbi Moishe looked back and raised one finger.
Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head.
Rabbi Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and chalice of wine.
Rabbi Moishe pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and said, "I concede the debate. This man has bested me. The Jews can stay."
Later, the Cardinals gathered around the Pope, asking him what had happened.
The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent
the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show that God absolves us of our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"
Meanwhile, the Jewish community crowded around Rabbi Moishe, asking what happened. "Well," said Moishe, "first he said to me, 'You Jews have three days to get out of here.' So I said to him, 'Up yours'. Then he tells me the whole city would be cleared of Jews. So I said to him, 'Listen here Mr. Pope, the Jews ... we stay right here!"
"And then?" asked a woman.
"Who knows?" said Rabbi Moishe. "We broke for lunch."

Lukster, that's the point.
You don't argue taste or colors or... religion, etc. That's exactly what those things aren't: rational.

I prefer to think of it as discussing rather than arguing. It's a process whereby we get acquainted with one another.
-
Personally I feel there is no subject too serious for there to be found no humor. Humor has many elements but should have an element of truth (agreed that perception of truth is subjective). One big detractor from funny for me is ill disguised contempt for it's subject and that is apparent in the video.
-
I didn't find it funny?
Too forced or something?
Have to admit I find myself agreeing with Lukster. Seemed contemptuous.......

"They try to "solve" the differences between the two religions in 3 minutes, good stuff"
There is no way to "solve" the differences between these two religions. The differences are fundemental to the beliefs of each. Christians believe that redemption is through the sacrifice, and shed blood of Jesus Christ. Followers of Islam believe redemption is through belief in Alla, and his prophet Mohammed, and that their good deeds must out weigh the bad. The only similarity really is FAITH.
As to who is right or who is wrong, well, one day we will ALL find out.
Oh, and yes I am a Christian.

I don't find your posts to be especially offensive Chair. You do seem to dwell Chrisitanity more than a little though. You might want to take a closer look at that?
Is this thread about Christianity vs Islam or humor? I vote for a discussion on humor.

Not of religion, but of blind faith & hypocrisy. If those were 2 hockey fans debating which team had the best idea, would that be contemptuous of hockey?... or the nutty fans?

Depends on how its done, if done just like this one, then yes, contemptuous.

I'm just glad that in the end Chairboy will receive his eternal reward for his determined crusade against Christianity in particular and religion in general from .. oh wait ... guess not. ;)

Now I'm expected to know everyone's native tongue... ok...

You know, Nilsen, Now that I see you're not English speaking, its cool, but what makes me laugh is that you just laughed with me... Viking got all smoked up and I wasn't even talking to him.
Honestly, I didn't see your nationality. Had I seen it I would have changed the wording.
But the real giggle here is that it didn't bother you at all... Only Viking.:aok
P.S. I'm glad you caught that typo first, and not him..

No you didn't get hot and bothered at all! (sarcasm) ;)

I do respect people who know several languages.... Even Spanish is very difficult for me and I would hate to have to argue in it.
I also feel sorry for people who live in a country that has such a worthless language that they have no real choice but to learn english. It must be a ***** to have to learn english in order to find anything worth talking about.

Not at all. Henry Ford pioneered the use of the production line, which the producers of the Beetle further enhanced and perfected.
Religion, on the other hand, is responsible for creating the pervailing perceptions of God. That model of the almighty, no matter which religious handbook it comes from, seems to be unilaterally retarded. If a higher power exists, and it is indeed cognizant, I would think that it laughs at our feeble attempts to personify it.

That's no less anthropomorphic than many other views of God.

Okay, maybe it doesn't laugh, maybe it quietly, mysteriously, in its own incomprehensibly omnipotent, pure-energy-based way, scoffs.
Damn, still anthropomorphic.

School of Vodka, my daytime spelling is much better.
Thats also the root of the pomp... Yeah, I was being a punk and it wasn't cool, thats why I apologized to Nilsen. Lately I've carefully avoided this boards if I've been drinking, not sure why I got so fascinated last night.
With regard to checking someones location prior to any post... No. There are 73 million more important things to do. And 85% of the guys here have locations such as 'hell' 'the moon' etc.

They have. There's books, DVDs, and software available. The rumor that more people spoke Klingon than Navajo did not turn out to be true... however, it's still the most widely spoken "made-up space language" that I know about.
people have too much free time...

The Multanomah Co Oregon Department of Human Services thought about someone who (among the other normal qualifications) spoke Klingon.
Snopes says this:
The full story, run in the Portland Oregonian, included the crucial context:
The county would pay a Klingon interpreter only in the unlikely case he or she was actually called into service.
"We said, 'What the heck, let's throw it in,'" Jelusich says. "It doesn't cost us any money."
The county's purchasing administrator, Franna Hathaway, greeted the request with initial skepticism. "I questioned it myself when it first came in."
But, she adds, "There are some cases where we've had mental health patients where this was all they would speak."
Jelusich says that in reality, no patient has yet tried to communicate in Klingon. But the possibility that a patient could believe himself or herself to be a Klingon doesn't seem so far-fetched.
"I've got people who think they're Napoleon," he says.
Multnomah County Chairwoman Diane Linn could not be reached for comment. Next up: another mythical language popularized by The "Lord of the Rings" films.
"The kids," Jelusich says, "are learning to speak Elvish."
and adds,
The office that treats mental health patients in Multnomah County had included Klingon on a list of 55 languages that could be spoken by incoming patients.
But the inclusion of the Star Trek language drew a spate of tongue-in-cheek headlines.
And now the county has rescinded its call, stressing that it hasn't spent a penny of public money on Klingon interpretation.
"It was a mistake, and a result of an overzealous attempt to ensure that our safety net systems can respond to all customers and clients," Multnomah County chair Diane Linn said in a news release.
County officials had previously said that no patient had ever come in speaking only Klingon, but that the county would pay a Klingon interpreter in the unlikely case one was actually needed.

The problem (which I percieve to be a problem) is that very little european nations make their language an important commodity. For example, it's not that big of a deal to go to norway because a lot of the norwegian know English. And since everyone else knows english, it's not that big of a deal.
However, if you isolate your language, and not teach your students the most popular language, suddenly the words you speak become a commodity themselves, you and the people who know Norwegian become important. And since everyone in your country would know norwegian, everyone would be important.

Atheists don't come round to your house and try to convince you that - insert god here - doesn't exist. Makes them much less scary to me. Besides Xians and Muslims are just one religion shy of being atheists anyway.
