They provide some code which you add to your front page which presents a banner to IE users urging them to switch to using Firefox. As a bonus, you can potentially make some money via Google's Firefox referral program."

    What, no comments about FireFox "memory leaks"?

    Jesus wasn't playing the nice guy when he cleared the moneychangers out of the Temple, although there are those who will argue that he wasn't exactly playing the winning guy when he died on the cross.

    Because anyone could write down any number of miracles and attribute them to this person. The Gospels were written long after his death. But hey, if it's in an old book, it's gotta be true!

    My life is not special, and I don't pretend to be special. Perhaps you need to feel like you are more important than a plant or a bug in the grand scheme of the universe? Not I. I take my lot in life and run with it sans a silly belief about what happens when I die.

    He denounced those who didn't worship his 'god'. Society at that time was accepting of others' beliefs...often regional gods were rolled into the Pantheon and everybody got along. Jebus didn't think that was OK. It's was his god or eternal pain.

    You know, how mainstream 'christians' think about...oh...the Mormons...or the Scientologists.

    Sure he attracted crowds...he was a freak!
