That's an interesting idea, to present a disguised account of Jesus Christ to those who make a big fuss about how much they believe in him, but I think that it could have been improved. "Susej" is a bit too obvious. And you could call "eternal bliss happy-land" something else, like the Gardens of Perpetual Happiness.
I've been thinking of doing that with some of Jesus Christ's teachings, but I haven't been able to come up with any really good disguise for them. The most I've thought of is to turn "Father" into "Mother" - female deities ought to drive the fundies nuts. |

and i think the idea about turning father into mother is great. Ive always wondered why the omnimax creator god would have a sex. Especially considering he was suposed to be around before he even created animals. did god create all the animals with 2 sexes but then created humans with only one sex, untill later that "day" he decided to add another sex. or did he create females for all the animals at the same time? |

a really easy comparison is:
Jesus as compared to Horus. (You could probably also lump krishna in with this as well) Miracles would kind of lose their "luster" if they happened multiple times before the arrival or jesus, or so it would seem . . . . At a glace . . . http://www.beliefnet.com/boards/mess...ssionID=358729 |
