    If you were to join a church "for the hell of it" which one would you join?

    I'd probably be a therapeutae (from the Greek, "worshipper or attendant of the [pagan] god") of the god of the surf ... Huey. In preparation for the day when the worship of Huey is officially recognised as a tax-deductable business, I have written his Gospel and mythology...

    Why would an author write about Jesus having explicit sex?

    It seems closer to this other sort, thanks Keith&Co. The idea of pulling a woman out of his side goes back to the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Does anyone see this as a form of satirical literature against the 4th century "Jesus Church Organisation"? Was Jesus (and thus the 4th Century...

    Why would an author write about Jesus having explicit sex?

    That's brilliant Keith&Co thanks for your response. To what extent might the genre of the "Gnostic Gospels and Acts" (supposedly written by blasphemous heretics in reaction to the Canonical Books) be described as fan fiction? Fan fiction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fan fiction...

    How would you subtitle the Bible?

    This is how Emperor Julian saw it c.362 CE: It is, I think, expedient to set forth to all mankind the reasons by which I was convinced that the fabrication of the Galilaeans is a fiction of men composed by wickedness. Though it has in it nothing divine, by making full use of that...

    No Forgery Evidence Seen in "Gospel of Jesus's Wife" Papyrus

    I think that it is quite possible that we are looking at a Hellenistic [seditious] political reaction to the appearance of a male-dominated Constantine Bible. The evidence for the existence of any gnostic gospel or act prior to Nicaea, and the political appearance of the Canonical Books, is...
