I just watched "It's a wonderful life" for the first time....

cagefighter has been a little down in the dumps as usual around the holidays, short days, lack of clear family status and plans for the pagan rituals like everyone else.

i have also been struggling with my belief or lack of in god and god letting idiots with guns run around while he does nothing for children dying of cancer hasn't helped either.

you can say, i have been in a extreme rationalists state of mind.. last week for my small group from church (the umc equivelent of the book study in jw land) we just decided to pop this little movie in the dvd player and light up the fire place.

Did Jesus ever claim he had to die for our sins?

2. beliefs
so for those that have been keeping up: i have recently become fascinated with the lost gospels as well as the history of the four cannon gospels (matthew, mark, luke, and john) and as some may say the "historical jesus".. i am fascinated by the variations in who jesus was and what he did according to different traditions and texts.

one thing that provoked me the other day is that the coptics/gnostics do not believe jesus "died for our sins".

which explains why an i have never been accosted infront of my favorite drinking hole my a glassy eyed 20 year old with a pamphlet in their hand asking if i am "saved".. so this got me thinking..... i don't recall jesus ever claiming to have to die for our sins in matthew, mark, luke or john either?

An inconvient crisis

2. bible
sorry folks, no laser pointer and cherry picker to wheel around like al gore..... for those that keep up with the cagefighter show you will know a couple of things have been perculating in my mind lately.

first, i discovered matthew 27:52 (the much downplayed zombie apocalypse raid of jerusalem as i call it now).

i have always been able to buy the gospels for some reason up to the resurrection.

it really put things into perspective.

It's time I face the truth about my belief in God.
by Cagefighter in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i don't beleive in him, at least not like most christians do.

as some have described before the "sky daddy" version of god has not been able to be rationalized by cagefighter's brain for some time.. does this mean i don't believe in a divine power/entity?

does this mean i do not consider my self a christian?

What do you think of Anonymous?

i would like to hear from some of the tech-savy members: what do you think of anonymous.

i went all day with no email and half the day with my co. website down b/c they wanted to prove a point with godaddy.. i kept up with the guy on twitter @anonymousown3r claiming responsibility.

it could have been a trick, but he did seem very in control of the situation.. i started watching some of their videos on youtube.
