Jesus Christ and Darth Vader
Each, based on the stories, possess "unearthy" powers.
Each was born by immaculate conception.
Each died to save the "world."
Each was saved in the end.
Each died only to be born again in another form.
Interesting comparison really.

"toom" is spelled "tomb." it is one thing to speak simply so as to not offend or confuse someone, i.e. using "substitutionary" as opposed to "propitiation." but, it is another thing altogether to use poor logic or grammatical errors. if one is to defend christianity properly, one MUST use his brain and logic. people already consider a follower of jesus christ to be simple and gullible and unscientific. don't add fuel to the flames.

Besides, your little imaginary Jesus never did cool stuff like choking the cr*p out of people using only a hand gesture, or blocking blaster bolts with his bare hands, or wielding a spiffy red lightsaber.
I will hear no more of your blasphemy.

yeah ok but can Darth Vader save the entire world from there sins? Can he keep you from spending eternity in a burning consuming fire?
Plus, in a lightsaber fight, he could kick Jesus' arse.

Funny thing, though. With one little word, the Lord Jesus Christ will slay the ruler of this world, Satan. Beats the hell of out lightsabers, if you ask me.
Oh I know a convoluted illogical explanation for why he is holding back will follow, possibly including phrases like 'deserve' and 'origional sin' and 'free will' and maybe even 'God knows best'.
