What would Jesus tell George?
I am making my own Christmas Cards this year. Here's the front:

I need something for the inside. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for the inside words,or if you have a better suggestion for the saying on the front. Thanks:)

1. Stop taking my Name in vain!
Don't tell lies.
Don't kill for corporate profits and oil.

2. "You're On Your Own, Pal...."
"And stop invoking my Name. You're pissing me and my Dad off big-time."

4. How about these verses from the sermon on the mount....
Edited on Wed Dec-03-03 05:11 PM by liberal_veteran
38 "You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
39But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
41And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
43 "You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

11. Well, many modern day Christians have rationalized that verse...
...by claiming it is refering to a small gate, but that is pure speculation and myth and is basically the religious equivalent of an urban legend.

9. The Beatitudes
Matthew 5:3-12

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

5:10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

5:11
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Pretty damn good for an agnostic, huh?

14. Beat me to it.


Just "Remember, George, blessed are the merciful" would be nice.


Great cover.

12. I would add at the inside bottom
John 11:35 - Jesus wept.

That is, if it were me. Great card, by the way!

13. Sit down Waldow...
I'd imagine Yeshewa bar Joesph would be kicking on GWs ass for a lot of stuff. Shewey was a Jewish Carpenter. He would been pretty buff. I'd imagine he could lay the smote down.
