The Jesus Robot Cometh

people... it's a joke. you have better things to be offended by.

Check out the video on youtube

The title of Tim Stevens' article, "The Jesus Robot Cometh," is sacrilegious, and offensive to me as a Christian. His citing of the 'lizard's ability to imitate JC,' and his fervent wish for a robot that can turn 'water into wine' are poor excuses of writing, period. I suggest he stick to writing in technical terms about gadgets, tech and digital stuff. I hope the BRAINS at work at CMU have enough SENSE to give their new robo-toy a secular name.

i agree wit angela they shouldnt be comparing a robot to jesus its wrong to do.plus why do we need this....i guess maybe as a lifeguard?!wow but still a robot compared to jesus...bad idea

Jesus is the easter bunny for adults, and no bunny can walk on water. when this robot can heal the lame the i'll be impressed

Oh whatever. The wind changes direction and you xtians get offended. Im offended that you have done nothing about the pedophile problem in your church.

This design does not seem likely to improve travel.... what purpose is in mind here?

Why the hell are Christians always getting offended? All people of the world don't believe what you believe. Get over it. We can make fun of Jesus if we want to.

If belief is not there, then why refer to Jesus? If belief is not there, why does dabe question "why the hell" CHRISTians are offended? I do not have to believe as a Muslim does, to respect their right to their belief, and not poke fun or demean it.
I too am offended by the glib and irreverent references to my Savior in the article, as well as incensed by LOWEReastsidenyc's innacuracy and slight dubbing CHRISTians as "xtians." I am NOT an "xtian," I am a CHRISTian. If references in a product review were made in a similar fashion casually about Scientologists, homosexuals or Muslims,there would be much ado. (possibly referring to Muhammed as "the big M" perhaps?) So why are CHRISTians not afforded the same rights of reverence? And since LOWEReastsidenyc immediately jumped on the abuse bandwagon, which however horrific, is no more prevalent among religious leaders than any other segment of the general population, perhaps LOWEReastsidenyc might explain just how he/she knows Angela is a catholic...or are all CHRISTians responsible? By his/her "logic" all musicians should be held responsible for Michael Jackson's pedophilia, all football players assumed to be cruel and inhumane pervayers of dog fighting, or all wrestlers held accountable for Benoit's crime? Political correctness must be a two way street, otherwise it is discrimination and stereotyping!

for all the 'offended' christians out there. let me give you all a quote i want you to think about. in this day and age, it certainly holds true:

if jesus came back today, the last thing he would be is a christian

shocking!! isnt it? but it holds true. you offended christians are too worried about what a writer wrote than worrying about your own lives. you call it sacrilegious but who here is without sins or faults?

btw, im a christian myself, but i dont focus on pitiful things like 'jesus' robots when there are more pressing matter to concern christians today. one being the bad rap christians have been given because of those who use the religion as a platform for their own personal agendas. these types of people have overwhelmed the christian religion and is bringing forth its own destruction.

Man, all of you really need to get a life.

I am a christian and don't find this at all offensive. Any so-called christian that does is simply being a hypocrite and banging their chests in public to self-aggrandise. You need to get a life and stop looking to be offended. Personally, I would love a water to wine robot and hope that they can develop that next. Much more usefule than a robot that walks on water.

A Christian knows what God say's about using His name in vane. So, naturally, a Christian would be uncomfortable using the name of Christ in vane.

A Christian who wasn't offended, I would think, was being hypocritical because, on one hand, he'd be preaching "Do not use the Lord's name in vane," while on the other, he'd be accepting a blatant breach of the Ten Commandments.

Wouldn't that be a typical "Do as I say, not as I do" moment?

A "Jesus Christ Lizard" is an entirely different animal than a "jesus christ Lizard," just as a "Christian" is not the same thing as a "christian."

Interestingly, even my spell checker recognizes the difference.
