So what does everyone think about a GodCoin. Crazy fundies could demand they not pay tax on it for religious reasons, cause the bible says they shouldn't.

If Jesus is lord of lords, why can't he defeat the devil? I mean Satan is a fallen angel, not even as powerful as a human. Yet he seems to be unbeatable.  Huh
since when is an human more powerful than an angel?? just wondering
Angels are sub-human and lesser beings. At least according to Catholicism and most Christian sects. It's confusing because modern westerners think of angels as more holy than humans. But they are traditionally considered simple messengers without free will. 
angels are not messengers they are higher beeings which sometimes act like messengers... do you really think humans have free will? maybe it is an illusion which the fallen one makes you belive

I thought a basic premise for christianity was the excistence of human free will, seeing as God reputedly wants us to choose to love him. If will is not free that whole thing is rather pointless, no?
i am not saying that humans dont have free will, i said what makes him believe, where believing is like speculating... i believe the price of a stock rises so i speculate and buy it...
anyways my point was that humans are mostly driven / steered by the animal instinct and not by free will

Of course they are mythical beings, so you can give them any ability. But the idea of angels being higher beings is a very modern notion. In fact the word angel means "messenger" in Greek. In Hebrew and other earlier religions angels were simply called messengers.

The free will question is still debated among philosophers today. I don't know the answer to that one.
maybe you mix up angels with those gray little alien servants which have no will
angels are known as messengers because they mostly appear to humans to deliver a message...
if you ask your dad to say hi to your grandpa that does not conclude that your dad has no free will...

Well i thought users here are not that religious, but as i can see there are some signs and indications that some still believe in god. Well that might be ok or wrong, i don't know and don't want to discuss it, but i'm sure topics like this have place in Off-topic section.

BTW:  religious, racist and other topics should not be present in this forum, just my oppinion.

Find it strange that adults still believe in fairy tales like Christianity, each to their own I guess. Don't think I know anybody who goes to church on a regular basis.

Let's put it this way:

Whether you believe in the individual known as jesus being divine or man, or anything, you cannot deny that almost 2k years later children around the world are born in his name and the followers of his belief reaches out to all corners of the globe in numbers greater than any other groups on earth.

The bestselling book of all time is the christian bible.

Whether you believe in it or not, to me, that's power.

And power that tenacious at least deserves some acknowledgement.

I've always liked the theory where Jesus escaped death on the cross by using Yogic techniques learned in India to slow his metabolism pretending to be dead, and then went back to India with his family dying around the age of eighty to be burried in Kashmir.

Makes alot more sense than the other version.
I have read that this theory is widely believed in parts of India. You can even visit the Jesus tomb there.

Indeed, I travelled India a few years ago, did not get to see the tomb but spent a few weeks in Kerala in the south where christianity is the dominant religion. Many of those I met was adamant believers that Jesus ended his days in India.
