Talk:Jesus
This is very inappropriate and mocks the Christian faith. No one is avatars of Christ Jesus.
This page while it may be inappropriate to some is not here to mock anyones faith. Many of the people who are considered "Avatars" of Jesus Christ are Christians themselves. They are not saying that they "are" Jesus; just that they resemble him. If you find this offensive then simply ignore/don't view this page. --Kelvelos 10:13PM (CEN) 30 April, 2008.
I second Kelvelos. The page specifically states that it does not refer to the Christian Jesus. Tolerance is one of Christianity's best tenets. --Linden 07:20, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
In my faith, Tatsumaki *is* an avatar of Jesus! Please stop mocking my faith by removing his glorious reference. -Tanath
You apparently don't know the definition of 'avatar' do you kelvelos. I perused your profile and was sad that on your own personal heraldry you would have the upside down cross. That right there tells me you are out to mock the christian faith that you so rightifully put you are not. If you are not you wouldn't even bother. If you really want to get technical. Jesus Christ was THE Only avatar of God.
But Tatsumaki IS my son - God
If need be, the use of the word Avatar could be changed to Look-alike, but honestly, since the entire point of the Amtwiki is to preserve our history and culture in an organic way, and since it's several voices saying "Leave it alone" and only a single, unnamed individual, wanting to change it, this page should be left alone to preserve the spirit it was written in.

Ten, if changing the word 'Avatar' to look-a-like will calm this situation I'm in favor. Baine, please let us know if that is enough for you. --Linden 12:48, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
We don't need to cater to this kind of crap at all. He knew exactly what was meant by the usage of the word "Avatar" and is using this as an oppertunity to spread his religious fantasy to everyone else.
This is a blatent display of someone trying to force their beliefs on a non-church entity. You don't see me bitching about how the article "Implies that Jesus really existed, which is a complete affront to my faith in the flying spagetti monster" because I have both a sense of humor and a grounding in reality.
Please deal with the fact that not everybody is christian, and stop pushing it on people. -Tanath
leave out 'avatar'. And please refrain from posting your own interpretation of the history and life of christ, in your own "humorous" manner.
The life of 'christ' is open to lots of interpretation. I will not remove the entry's biography section. But I will change the word Avatar to look-a-like. --Linden 14:15, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
Tanath - I don't agree with it, but this is easier than having to re-edit the page every so often because so 2-bit schmuck with a cross thinks we're slandering his christ. Besides, it isn't like the christians EVER mock non-christian ideology. Ah well, when the favored adherents of FSG ascend and behold the stripper factory, all will be right with the universe.

Baine, if that is who you are; since you continually decide to post a name only your IP.
First off, attacking me about symbols used in my heradlry proves nothing about my beliefs. I am a person of tolerance; my character on the other hand is not. The "cross" you complain about me using is actually based off of historical reference The Order of the Dragon a group that were defenders of the Christian faith. The group was perverted by wealth & hid (like the Crusaders) behind the symbol of "Christ".
Second off, this is a group of individuals who remain free to think for themselves. As I stated before people from many religions come out to play Amtgard. Yet, you don't see everyone bitching about symbols used for heraldry & names used for personas.

"Amtgard is a not-for-profit, free, non-sectarian group dedicated to the recreation of
medieval and fantasy genres." Page 2 of the RoP. If you don't like what you're reading, stop reading it mang and let other people have their own damn opinions. -Weezicus
Ten, agreed to an extent. I don't like empowering these people, because that leads to more censureship by them -Tanath
What though, is the point of this page at all? Is somebody going to be traveling around the country and need to stop in only the kingdoms that have a guy who only looks like a religious figure? Ghey!
Actually, my plan was to get all of them together and tour this great nation of ours... Amtgard Jesus Tour 2009!!

Do we have to include Kurse because of his "Buddy Kurse" status?
-Tanath
Would anyone be sad if this stupid entry were deleted for it's lack of relevance and flame-worthy content?
