First wise Jewish carpenter that came to mind for me was the one that from Bethlehem back in the day. . .

[internalenthusiast]

me too...

[Bill]

That's the point of the joke.

[bailewen]

doh....

That's what you get for making Jesus jokes with a jewboy.

It's my standard response to "Jesus is God": God? Well he was a pretty damn fine Rabbi but lets not get carried away here. . .

Nothing takes you further away from knowing than doctrine and dogma.

If you subscribe to these things, you have to understand that you are giving up an organic learning process and you are handing
your brain and soul over into someone else's machinations.

I think once that is understood, all is good.
No offense to the religiously inclined among us, but have you gotten in touch with your god lately?

[Patrick]

I have. He told me to go and learn some formal logic. If this would not convince me of my errors and cure me from my hearing voices- esp. his voice - I should learn some basic biology and physics. If this still doesnt work, I should propably talk with a psychiatrist.
Yeah he is just the kinda guy, that is not afraid of telling the truth. Hes just awesome. Real friends do that.

God watches... and probably laughs....

Jesus is wandering around Jerusalem when he decides he really needs a new robe. After looking around, he sees a sign for "Finkelstein, the Tailor."

He goes in and Finkelstein prepares a new robe for him, which is a perfect fit. When he asks how much he owes, Finkelstein brushes him off: "No, no, no, for the Son of God? There's no charge! However, may I ask a small favor?

Maybe whenever you give a sermon you could just mention a little something about how your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein the Tailor." Jesus readily agrees and, as promised, plugs Finkelstein robes every time he preaches.

Some months later, Jesus is walking through Jerusalem and happens by Finkelstein shop.

There is a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein robes. He pushes his way through the crowd to speak to Finkelstein.

"Jesus, Jesus, look what a marvel you've been for business!" gushed Finkelstein. "Would you consider a partnership?"

" Sure, sure," replies Jesus.

" Jesus & Finkelstein it is."

" Oh, no, no," says Finkelstein. "Finkelstein & Jesus. After all, I am the craftsman."
The two of them debated this for some time. Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful.

Finally, they come up with a mutually acceptable compromise.

A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein shop ...Are you ready for this?

"LORD & TAYLOR"

....why would a German be in first century Nazareth?

that's all I want to know.
