Theos-Talk Archives (December 2001 Message tt00381)

Hi Bill, and all of you,

Allright Bill. 
I didn't say, that you didn't see what you claimed you saw.
I didn't say, that your post wasn't about Jesus.
I didn't say, that you had said that Christ was a joke.
I didn't say, that Maya can make things and events look real - even if theyreally are not.

Can you agree upon that?

To me Christ isn't a joke.
