The title of the site should be changed to "Atheists who have been convinced by selected quotations that Jesus was a really swell guy."

The point these guys are making in a stupid, confusing way, is some things Jesus is reported to have said in the Gospels were OK.
In other words, one can't have a morality that concides with Christianity without being an 'Atheist for Jesus'. Bastards. If they need someone to follow but can't help but be atheists, why not be a budhist?
I kinda understand where they're coming from. I'm sort of a atheist pagan.

Do they think they are part of those 144,000 people? I'd laugh if they went up to Heaven, while Falwell, Phelps, and Chick all went to hell.Durandal wrote:Did all those people get stricken with amnesia? Jesus is supposed to come back one day and kill everyone but 144,000 people!

god damnet that was the oddist oxymoron i have seen in a long time .....those two words should NOT be used togeather , just like Millitary and Intelegince , or even Honest Goverment
I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars, Did wander darkling in the eternal space, rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth. Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air

These are basically people who don't believe in God, but buy into the Christian Propaganda Machine's claims about Jesus being all-loving and the Bible being the "Good Book," so they seek what is nothing more than a political compromise.
It's like people who believe in the theory of evolution, yet they think "creationists bring up some good points, too," so they dream up this intelligent design bullshit. Many atheists are just too insecure to risk being at direct odds with the majority's belief.

These people need some serious counseling. I can give it to them by way of an sledgehammer...

Jesus was a rather nice person, if the Gospels are any indicator...

I dunno. The whole "peace and love" angle was rather convincing to me.

Perhaps they mistook Aragorn for Jesus. (Viggo Mortensen, the actor who plays Aragorn in the new Lord Of The Rings movies, bears a striking resemblance to most depictions of Jesus)
