Was the historical Jesus [mefi] padded with stolen pagan ideas? Some go as far as to suggest a historical Jesus never existed. Gasp.

The downloads of the Christ

The downloads of the Christ 04/19/2004 01:52 PM

My new favorite blog Sellout Central points to an interesting story on Christian Piracy. Quoting:

only 10 percent of Christian teens considered music piracy to be morally wrong, according to The Dallas Morning News

I plunge the depths of the internet from time to time just to see what the scene is like and I've been surprised by the presence of things like the Passion of the Christ movie and soundtrack being traded around, bible programs being swapped, and people openly requesting pirated copies of christian-themed files. I would think if anyone considered downloading stuff online to be akin to stealing, it would be faithful followers, but apparently that's not the case.

update: Andy sends this story of Passion bootlegs being used to route around the damage of non-distribution:

But the Israeli distributors who have the sole legal right to import the movie to the Holy Land have so far declined to do so... Robbed of the chance to view the film legally, the Holy Land's Christians - foreign pilgrims and minority Palestinian Christians - are finding other ways to satisfy their curiosity.

Taking the Christ out of Christmas

Taking the Christ out of Christmas 12/30/2004 11:20 AM
article and feedback here i can't believe how politically correct Christmas became this year. Some stores sent out memos telling their employees not to say Merry Xmas but to say Happy Holidays and because of that you have some right wing religious nuts boycotting these stores and complaining on the radio. I personally think they are both wrong. the real religion for the stores is the dollar anyway. And if you waste your valuable time trying calling radio stations and picketing stores then you obviously have way too much time on your hands. just relax people and stop being brainwashed. this link is to a feedback forum where a reader complained about the usage of xmas as opposed to christmas in a headline. the editors explain that xmas is actually still a very religious term. link here
