Can you help me to choose one of this guys?





As you can see... they´re basically the same, just the face changes...  One seems to be a young nazi SS offciel, brave, without scrupuls...

The other seems more sophisticated with the monocle, maybe he´s a prussian gentlemen...

Which do you think could be the best for being the nemesis of the known character of Arizona Scott?

Thanks in advance...

The real basic  message from Jesus:

Love & Tolerance for Everyone.

Do we need Jesus ,or a Messiah to spread that message?

There are certain moments in my life when I can be quite good at directing my dreams... Some other times I just can't remember anything, so I can't really say if I'm lucid or not, but let me tell you how it works:

You must be very analistyc... I can control my dreams when I know that they're dreams. I've been told that only the human can remember dreams, because they can differenciate between dreams and reality, while animals can't (And it should be tricky if a cow awakes up thinking it can fly...)

Allways there is something that shows that you're in a dream... I.E. the buildings are different, if there are not happening more major things around (Flying pink elephants or something like that...) so... be aware of any sign of something strange in everything that is around you, in your life.

This is an ability that you must train while you're awake...

After that, the next step is quite difficult... If you're in a dream and you know it, your power is overwhelming, so... it is very easy to expoil it all! I remember that I was once dreaming that I was getting away from a killer... When I've realised of the absurd of the situation (I was in a strange abandoned factory of a big city, nothing similar to what I have to face everyday), I realised that I was dreaming, and then I decided to give a lesson to the killer. The result was absurd, I converted into a superhero and started to fly. This situations finally make you awaken up...

But if you archieve to go on dreaming it's thrilling, bacause,I don't know why, but every little think you have can get true while you're dreaming, which means that if you've felt pessimistic thae previous days, things in the dream can start to go badly... Till you recover the "control" the situation is very exciting...

Well... I don't think that many people here can face dangerous situations ofter, so, strange things happening in dreams can be quite exciting, don't you thing?

Just one thing Peter Thomas... Bible says that the World has 2,000 yeas old... that part of the bible was written 3,000 years ago... SO:

According to the Bible, the earth is 5,000 years old... what I´ve said in my post, where´s the problem? Where have I missquoted the Bible?  

I am not saying that the bible does not mention that Pilate judged Jesus... But it clearly says that he "washed his hands", which makes the whole history so much suitable for the people whose this "revisited" version was aimed for... the Romans.

And I can ensure you that no roman procurator (sp?) could wash his hands in front of a death penalty. He had to take a decission, and we know which was this... Romans acceded (at least) to the death penalty of Jesus.

BTW... if Jesus was really an annoying man for the Jewish church, there would be no need of Trial. Powers in the shadow (like nowadays) were perfectly able to finish discretely with a man, while the crucifixion seems to be more a punishement used as an example, more in the style of the Romans.

Bible is enough boring when resuming 5,000 years of history... Imagine including the previous 6,000 milion years...

Revisited Genesis:

"And the fish, became amphibius, which became a lizard, which became a Dinosaur, which was buried in the land by a holy stone thrown by God to the Earth, which bones were found by Spielberg, a sionist who made films... and God said, lets Jurassic Park be made! And he realised that this was good!"

Do you still use the bible as a book of history? Cool, let’s play, I’ll use the Bible and the book of the law of the Jewish, the Misna.

Was Jesus judged by Jewish? I say no:

(Extract of a homework I did for my class of Philosophy, years ago…)

1) According to the Bible, Jesus was judged in Friday: Impossible:

a)   The Sanhedrin could not judge in Friday, the eve on the Sabbath, if it was judging cases that could finish in death penalty.
b)   The Sanhedrin was not able to judge the eve of Easter, according to Misna.

2) The sentence was not able to be said that very Friday; sentences involving death penalty had to be postponed one day.

3) The Bible claims that Caifas, who accused Jesus, was also its judge… Impossible, the Hebrew law forbidden that.

4) Messengers have to be sent everywhere to announce a death penalty, but this is not mentioned in the Bible.

5) If Jesus was accused of being a false prophet, he could have been judged by the 71 members of the big Sanhedrin, which were not in Jerusalem in Easter.

6) The 4th Order of the (chapter VII) of the Misna says that the Sanhedrin could dictate 4 kind of deaths penalties: Lapidating, strangle, burning, and throat cutting. If Jesus was accused of being false prophet, blasphemy, magician and Sabbath profanation, he could have been lapidated or strangled, never crucified.

In addition, many students say that in those times the Jewish council was not able to dictate death penalties.

Conclusion: Someone (Paul?) invented a Jewish trial for making it suitable for the roman population, while all the historical facts aim to a roman judgement.  It was clear that Paul could not export a Jewish religion to Rome if its most important figure was a person who fought against the Roman Empire.

Believing in the good things that you can extract of the Bible is ok, but seeing it as a history book (IMO) not. Look…

I consider myself a good person, and I don´t need the example of a supernatural son of God, of the threat of burning in Hell. The only thing I have extracted of the Bible is that you must do that things that you believe are correct, which includes trusting in the power of the friendship and the love… What matters if that love is felt between to people with the same sex? I can´t really understand it…

False: the Sanhedrin was not able to impose the Romans a punishment, and Jesus crucifixion was made by romans (judged in Pilatos temple, punished by whig by romans... even the inscription in the cross was latin, which, let´s remember, make mention that Jesus was the King of the jews).

How could the Sanhedrin agree with a dead penalty under the acussation of being "King of the Jews", if they wanted to pretend that Jesus was no Jew?

Accept it, if Jesus was the "enemy" of the Jew Church that the gospels claim, he would have been lapidated...

[IN SPITE]

Cool Peter Thomas, you´ve response why was Jesus crossified... But I didn´t ask that... My question is clear: Why was he crossified IN SPITE of lapidated?

It´s a totally different question.

Congrats! I´ve worked half year as a DJ, and the work at bars/pubs can be thrilling, soon you´ll have a lot of histories to tell!

I agree with Las and Miez... We´re not saying that the four books of the new testament are a compilation of all the information of the apocriphs gospels... we´re saying that they´re re-written to make them more suitable and appealing, that´s something completely different!

So... ask me this.

a)Crossification is a Roman punishment...
b)Jewish punishement was lapidation.
c)Romans were very respectful with collaboratiive religions, and the Jewish church was in that time, SO:

Why was Jesus crossified? If he was the enemy of the Jewish church, and he was no great enemy of the romans (Let´s remember that the Gospels say that Jesus told the Jews to obbey the payment of taxes to the Romans, and Pilatos was told to see no guilty in him) he should have been dilapidated...

Why crossified? because he was a revolutionary, enemy of the collaborationist Jewish church and the roman empire... the romans killed him.

But Paul changed it all, he changed the propaganda against the Romans and added supernatural stuff, therefore, Paul lied, maybe in A LOT of aspects, who knows? maybe in all...

So... How can you still believe in the Bible as a history book???

The scrolls of the Dead Sea?

I feel strange giving crits to the supremme artist that Mr. Colossal is ( ) But I suppose that as a great artist you'd like to thing all we think about your work...

It is supperb, but the "bricks" look strange to me... I'm quite used to use reference for my paintings and the structure of the rocks in the window looks strange, as it is so much complicated in real life... But this critic is made by a person who was passed with excellent notes the subject of history of the art[/boasting], and probably the rest of the people  will just be amazed by the great composition and the excellent choose of colours.

A really quick edit, and not accurate, but I just wanted to show that the structure on the windows still has possibilities to be improved, but it's the decission of the artist to determine if that could disstract the attention of the real focus of the painting...

The 4 books which compose the new testament were choosen in a funny way: It was said that Constantin in his council told God "God, make us a signal to differenciate the good books than the apocriphs" and a white dove came from the sky and sellected John´s, Mark´s, Lucas´ and Mathew´s books.

Cool, but new documents reveal the thruth. It was very plausible that a group of experts sellected the most appealing books of all which related Christ´s life and put them up in a table in the place where the council was being cellebrated, while the apocriphs were lyng in the floor. Then, Constantin entered in the room and told "Good, if we have choosed badly, made us a signal!" (Of course,God did nothing, and Constantin sellected the most appealing books for the romans).

The new testament are a big lie. Christianism have been avoinded pages and pages of important information, like the one talking of the live or Mary, the brothers of Jesus, the marriage between Jesus and Mary of Magdala... It is specially shocking to see that the anciant good Mitra was born by inmaculate conception in a cave, died crossified and returned 3 days after, like Isis. Most of the "magical" or "supernatural" facts were by Jeusus are a compendium of ancient tales...

So... how can you still believe in Bible like a history book, or a guide??? The original documents of the biblical era paint Jesus as a normal man, married, with Brothers, a revolutionary leader, enormously charismatic and seen as a danger by Rome.... but the supernatural thingie was all invented half century after his dead.

Take the bible as a guide... It is cool, I still feel amazed when I read it and realise that Saint Paul invented such an appealing history, full of good feelings and a nice philosofy... But don´t take it as a book of history or laws...

Bible still consider mastubation a mortal sin, and we´re still here ( )

So... IMO, if you´ve something to complain about wedding between people with the same sex, thing and argue, but don´t use an old fashioned 2,000 years old book, we just can´t argument against that...  

It really looks like manga, and manga made by a great artist, but it doesn't look like Akira Toriyama for me... I remember that Akira designed some characters for a series called The adventures of Fly (?). It looks like that.

But this is a great style, with great personality, there's no need to look for a Toriyama copy...

Great!!!

Lost... I know that you don´t want to make it in 3-d, but I think that some kind of isometric shape would just be the same as the 2-d, I mean, flat "physics" for the flat parts, "slopes physics" for the slopes...

Can that be done?

Will this work?  

Ha ha ha ha... Custard wins ^_^ Every enemy of MI4 is my friend.

I really like Klaus'design, but I'm not very happy about some of the icons... I mean, Chris appears with a funny face, and that is cool, but Chris never wanted to have such a "predominant" place in the AGS community...

He's the creator and all that, but sometimes I really think that he wants to be just one more member most thant "THE MAN" who appears in the main page of the website, at the same level of the bluecup and the name of the Engine... We may ask him about that...

About the "community" icon, dunno, but a mittens photo doesn't seems to be fair IMHO. There are very important people who haven't had the chance to come to Europe for a mittens (I.E. Mr. Colossal, Dave Gilbert, DG, Las Naranjas... and many many others...) So... I remeber that there was a cooool collage with a bluecup made with all the pics of the AGSers.

I know that this can be excessive, and even unfair because we should show pics of one-post peope and not photos of important people who has never posted pics (I.E. Annie) but this is most close to a fair sollution.

But the best is not to post photos or personalize the "community" in just 7 or 8 faces.

(P.S: This criticism comes because I think that the page is soooo coool... ^_^, that I wanted to help... it is not pretending to be harsh)

(P.S.S: I don't like the bluecup shape at the toop... too convex, the real bluecup is totally cilindrical, I think...)

Of course existed a previous Universe... It had some strange things that looks weird to us now. For example, the soud was transmited in the empty space, explosions and lasers could be heard. It was possible to stay in the middle of an opened to the space ship without dangerous, and the Force controlled all the living things in the gallaxy.

It was a long time ago, in a galaxy far away...
