I thought this up while bored in Christian Ethics class. (Its so horribly thought up and slightly sleep deprived sounding)

What if Jesus was an alien( or someone from the future..). His mother was like Clark Kents mom and had a baby because someone from Jesus' planet asked her to. And Jesus was an alien name..thats why it wasnt so common. Those angels that came and visited people were actually aliens trying to look like us. And all previous prophets communicated with these aliens that called themselves "god" or something similar. Well Jesus grows up trying to conceal his identity. He prayed alot because he communicated with his home planet (or the future) telepathically. Well Jesus can perform miracles because he has magic godly powers. o0o. Well Jesus teaches the people to pray so that his home planet can study the thoughts of people on Earth. Eventually he "dies". But actualy thats just his earth body dying and he's sitting around in his alien body watching. Then he comes back a few days later and tells people he has risen. Then he teleports back to his homeplanet without dying. Mary does that too eventually. Maybe heaven is their home planet and earthlings are allowed to go there after death..ahaha..I don't know. But if you think Jesus is an alien trying to conceal his identity and help the world it makes it more interesting..

Yeah...
Sorry about the zillion posts in a row.

Lol all 4 of them?

Well that's a theory I guess... Maybe aliens created life on Earth and are watching us constantly and taking live specimans occasionally to study (aka dissappearing people). Maybe George W. is really an alien who's posing to be the president as part of an alien intelligence survey to test the ability of American people to detect BUll SHit and maybe I'm actually a penguin living at the North Pole posting at a lucid dreaming forum to integrate myself into human society and plan a massive penguin revolt to overthrow the Internet!

(I have no idea why I'm typing)

Well its a theory, but you've got a problem here. "Jesus" was a fairly common name, and there are known to be at least 12 other people named "Jesus" who lived in the same time and around the same area as the biblical Jesus. That is why whenever some artifact from that time period is found that references "Jesus", it usually must be carefully examined for clues as to exactly which "Jesus" it refers to.

I knew it! It's not just me!

Speaking of which a lot of Hispanics are named 'Jesus' too.

**AirRick101** · 10-12-2004 05:02 PM

LOL. That's hilarious!

It's far fetched, but constantly makes me think of various videogames....

A friend (barbizzle) once gave me an extremely kooky interpretation of the Bible. Maybe you can ask him about that...

The bible would be more intresting to read if there were those little fold out posters of women in it.

**Joseph_Stalin** · 10-13-2004 03:35 PM

I believe Jesus real name was Joshua or something, and Jesus is just a Greek translation. Joshua must have been a fairly common name.

**anokpunx** · 10-13-2004 07:31 PM

his real name was yeshua, thats how it was pronounced anyway, and it was pretty common back in those days. jesus was a magician, he could preform magic tricks and people back in those days were easily manipulated, so if you combine magic tircks with a bit of knowledge of the torah and claimed you were the son of god, and that if you knew this guy you will go to heaven, or as it is said a new earth, you can get a following of a bunch of stupid working class fishermen, prositutes, and, townfolk. but the jewish preists(who control the state), who probably knew that their god(g_d) wasnt real anyway but used it as a way to control the masses, saw jesus and were like this dude is insane he thinks he is the son of god! think about it if a guy came up to you and declared he was the son of god you would be like woah buddy, i think you need some help. so jesus kept on breaking rules and living this sham of a life because he craved attention and the jews and romans said look this guy has gone too far, and they were a lot more violent in those days so they crucified him. his fisher men followers saw this a great travistry and they wrote about it, sure they made up some stuff about him, threw in some interesting things to the plot, and we have the first couple books of the new testament.

jesus could have also been a hippie, long hair, beard, robe, sandals, crazy ideas of peace, love and harmony.

Hahahahahaha... Wait... you're serious...

**donbowyerson** · 10-23-2004 04:32 PM

They used to put pictures in Bibles - I guess they still do, for the children (and maybe for the adults who have a hard time reading the King's English).

Personally, I think what makes the Bible more interesting to read is when you compare it with other significant works like the Koran, The Pali Canon, or the Tao Te Ching...

Lot's of good stuff in other books to compare with "Christian Ethics". I don't understand why so many people are hung up on reading the King James version, instead of a good modern translation. What's up with that?

**Yogi Bare** · 10-23-2004 07:03 PM

This is much along the lines of the theories of Erich Von Daniken, remarkably so in fact.

check out his book 'Chariots of the Gods' http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...409546?v=glance

Von Daniken take things further by saying that we've been visited by aliens for many thousands of years, and the Bible (both old and new testaments) is littered with references that back him up, plus more evidence from the Pyramids, the Plains of Nasca, Stone Henge etc...

Funnily enough, I've been talking to someone about this just recently and he has a great theory about it. Consider where we are with genetic science right now, in that we have theories that are un-provable because we aren't legaly allowed to mess with some things. What if the US Government, for instance, were to discover that one of Jupiters moons is inhabited by primates not too dis-similar from ourselves? Is it not conceiveable that they would want to go to that moon to do experiments they couldn't do here?

Now imagine that x000 years ago another government from another (ahem) civilised planet discovered that earth was populated by primates. Is it not feesible that they would also have the same motives for coming and messing with things here?

Just a theory of course but it does make sense if you can get into this way of thinking.

**donbowyerson** · 10-24-2004 05:42 AM

Aaaarrgghhh!!! But what about the prime directive...

**Joseph_Stalin** · 10-24-2004 03:30 PM

FUCK the prime directive! *destroys the planet with 50 photon torpedoes*

Eh, can't remember what this post was about...

**Yogi Bare** · 10-24-2004 03:42 PM

donbowyerson - Aaaarrgghhh!!! But what about the prime directive... Shocked[/b]

I guess it was pre-federation and that's why we don't hear so much from them now

**pyrhho** · 10-26-2004 05:28 AM

any of you guys read The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
THE MICE!! IT"S THE MICE!

well if you can get into this way of thinking.......

US Government, aren't legaly allowed to mess with some things.[/b]

that the US Government doesent give a shit what they cant mess with and do anyway,
so why would they need to go to another planet to do it?

Just a thot...........

**NotWithoutMyPillow** · 10-29-2004 03:10 AM

Gnosticism is cool. The Nag Hammadi Library is the gospels I think you'd be talkin about. Fun read

**NotWithoutMyPillow** · 10-31-2004 02:43 AM
