JeffreyJamez:
Some people just want to criticise just to be seen as different.

Tell me what you would have done Differently if you were to write Black Panther?

What exactly were you expecting from a SUPER HERO movie based on a Fictional Country?


The over 90% POSITIVE reviews the movie is getting from RENOWNED movie critics,you think its beans?


BALCK PANTHER LIVED UP TO THE HYPE!!

Black Panther 9/10

I bet this guy has not seen the movie but he's giving it 9/10.

How can you judge something without seeing it

That's the difference between you and me.
I watched the movie before judging it but you neva watch am and you're giving it 9/10....just because critics gave it good reviews

The same RENOWNED critics that gave Wonder Woman 92%.

If you start basing your judgement on critic opinion only, you are bound to be misled.

Go and see the movie for yourself before you start talking.

Twitter user @ChefWaites was apparently in the Atlanta theater when it all went down, and live-tweeted his disappointment and the hilarious reaction from the crowd when the first thing they saw was a wedding, not Wakanda.

In a video he shared, audience members can be heard yelling, booing and laughing at the screen, with one person exclaiming, “What are we doing?”

Aiight so this happened at Atlantic Station. They played 50 shades instead of black panther pic.twitter.com/5WhvX270Y5— The Chef (Steve) (@ChefWaites) February 16, 2018

I never laughed so hard. I’m happy i came to the black theatre pic.twitter.com/pxdTFK4Qt3— The Chef (Steve) (@ChefWaites) February 16, 2018

The snafu was corrected about five minutes into the final “50 Shades” film, according to people in the theater.

YOOO THEYRE PLAYING THE WRONG MOVIE! THEYRE SUPPOSED TO PLAY BLACK PANTHER AND ITS 50 SHADES OF GREY PLAYING RIGHT NOW AYO — Billy B the MUA (@emmabahi) February 16, 2018

@blk_tray @AminESPN
So they started to play 50 shades instead of Black Panther in my theater today... I’m 5 months removed from ACL surgery and I sprinted through the theater to get that turned off so damn fast— Slim Hardaway Jr (@TreDay421) February 16, 2018

Black Panther is already a hit after grossing over $25 million in Thursday preview screenings alone, surpassing the Thursday opening for even 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. This puts the film on track to nab a 3-day opening of $185 million with a total 4-day President’s Day weekend haul of $210 million, having already shattered ticket pre-sale records. The question now is if the movie will have legs to maintain its box office performance over the next few week. That won’t be that be difficult, given that there won’t be any major competition until A Wrinkle In Time rolls out on March 9.
Good word of mouth will only help the movie’s performance at the box office.Black Panther is already one of the highest rated superhero films on Rotten Tomatoes and, despite clocking in at two hours and 15 minutes, never drags thanks to its majestic visuals, cool action set pieces, and the cast’s riveting performance – meaning, it’s a very re-watchable movie. Beyond its earnings, Black Panther is expected to have a significant effect on racial awareness and proper cultural representation in Hollywood, similar to the social impact of DC’s Wonder Woman.

Theater Plays ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ Instead Of ‘Black Panther’ And It Didn’t Go Well
Atlanta moviegoers did not take kindly to the switch.

“ Black Panther” is bar-none the most anticipated movie of the year. “Fifty Shades Freed,” meanwhile, is the most anticipated movie of the year with an ice cream sex scene, so make of that what you will.
Moviegoers at Atlanta’s Regal Atlantic Station were in for a surprise on Thursday night when the theater mistakenly played the final installment of the erotic drama franchise instead of the superhero flick.
Fans around the country came out in droves for the Marvel movie’s debut, with many dressing in traditional African garb or clothing inspired by the film’s Afro-futurist aesthetic. “Black Panther” is already breaking records, and is predicted to have an enormous opening weekend.

If a white man had given Black Panther 6/10.
People will shout RACISM !

But critics just gave it 97% to avoid such controversy.

Same thing they did with Wonder Woman just to avoid the wrath of feminist.

xynerise:
It is safe to download it then, than seeing it in the Cinema

Well, everybody has his own taste in movies.

I'm not the kind of person that likes a movies just because of action, cool fight scenes and amazing stunts.

If you like action, you will enjoy black panther.

Like i said, everybody has his own taste.

I expect more from a movie than just action and cool fight scenes.

Dont be discouraged because i gave Black Panther 6/10.

It's not a bad movie and i did not regret seeing it at the cinema.
It was entertaining and fun.

But the movie had it's flaws and i was being honest with rating.

If honesty was a watchword on this thread, this movie wont get more than 7/10.

If you have money, go to cinema.
You wont regret it, trust me.

On the bright side, Black Panther is different from the average marvel film.

It's a serious film.
There is no humor and crappy jokes like Thor 3 ,GOTG 2 and homecoming.

I dont want to go into details to avoid spoilers.

A small hint : Remember Lion King.

Black Panther reminds me of Lion King.

If you have money, go to cinema and enjoy yourself.

The movie is entertaining and enjoyable but it had it's flaws.

Black Panther 6/10

This movie is so overated.

I was decieved by the hype.

I'm not saying it's a bad movie.

It's very entertaining and fun.

But it was flawed in some aspects and it left a sour taste in my mind.

The only reason critics gave this movie 97% on Rotten Tomatoes is because of the "Black Lives Matter" campaign going on.

And for a movie set in Africa with 90% of the actors being black.
This movie means a lot to Africa and black people and no critic would want to be called a racist.

Same thing they did to Wonder Woman.
Gave it highly positive review and 90+ on Rotten Tomatoes just to please the feminism crusade going on in the world and avoid the label of "misogynist".

Tbh, Black Panther is overated but it was entertaining even though it had it's flaws.

I wouldn't want to discourage anybody from going to cinema.

If you have money go see the movie.

If you wont do it for yourself, do it because you are African and this movie has that African representation that has been missing in Hollywood.

Overall

Black Panther 6/10.

thorrvik55:
Ur mother there

I thought you are a christian

Aren't you suppossed to be CHRIST-LIKE

Maybe that is how Christ insults other people's innocent parents.

Tell people that a snake talked to Eve in the Garden of Eden and the vast majority will believe you.

Tell people that a snake swallowed 36m in jamb office and they will call you a liar.

Trust me, if the bible says a snake swallowed money, majority of people will believe it.

But this one no be bible and therefore it doesn't make sense.

Prime4Val:
thank God Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship between Christians and God.

You have a holy book but you're not a religion,
You have a place of worship but you're not a religion.
You have priest/pastors but you're not a religion.

Maybe the definition of religion has changed in the dictionary

My muslim friend also says Islam is personal relationship with Allah.

Going by your logic Islam is not a religion too.

Ramos16:
Not that I don't support your point of view that suggest black is beautiful, I don't just understand the part where you say "If a WHITE man could find her attractive, why is it that you, an AFRICAN cannot be proud of your own sister ", it is almost a contradictory statement from the message you are trying to pass across, because it suggests that the white man should look at us as different from him.

Dont mininterpret my message.
Not that they look at us differently.
Some not all.
I cant generalize.

I may have written in the wrong way but my point is ; If a foreigner can appreciate what we have, why cant we

It's not like a foreigner is not supposed to appreciate our women but the fact that a white man sees the beauty in black and a black man like you does not see it makes it awkward.
That is the point i'm trying to make.

I expect you, a black man to be the first to say black is beautiful.
To appreciate your own.

I have seen some racist whites frown at our colour.
But for a black man to frown at his own colour
That is the biggest insult.

Whites are getting married to blacks and yet an african like you feels that a black woman is not good enough because she is too black.

If a foreigner appeciates our women, why cant we

Why do we give our women the impression that they are not beautiful enough and will have to bleach

Sometimes i dont blame bleachers.
The things that people say, like the comment you made, makes them feel incomplete and tempts them into bleaching their skin.

Gangster1ms:
Which kain black hand is this? Go and bleach small biko

Black is beautiful.
She is the kind of lady that stays true to herself.
She wont change her colour just to please people like you.
She is a proud black woman.
She is proud of her colour.

Btw beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
If a WHITE man could find her attractive, why is it that you, an AFRICAN cannot be proud of your own sister

You want her to bleach

Skin colour is unique, it is in the DNA.
If you like bleach white and yellow.
If your natural colour is black, your children will be black.

Will you bleach them too

Black is beautiful.
I'm a proud black man.

People who bleach are suffering from low self esteem.

Billyonaire:
No one seems to really try to condole with her on what she went through, but they are sure to defend the church and Jesus. The lady shouldnt vent her anger on Jesus though, the church is worshiping a different Jesus all together. The Jesus I know, can not really entertain what is going on in Christianity and Islam now. Jesus chased the money changers from the temple, yes he did.

As soon as he ascended, the thieves took over the church, and created another Jesus, a white one.

No one cares about what she passed through.

Nairaland sheeples will only defend the church and jesus.
Some of them are even mocking the lady.

Whatever happened to humanity

Religion has really did a number on the society.

I'm not suprised tho.
Rape and sexual harassment has been going on in the church for a long time.
Peadophile priest molest little children and get away with it.

Last week a catholic priest was accused of sexual harassment.

The church defended him and Pope Francis himself stood with the pervert of a priest.

Sexual harassment in the house of god is an eyesore that christians overlooks.

Everybody defends the church and the victims of sexual harassment are mocked and branded enemies of the church and agents of satan.

It's very sad.

nonut:

what is the name of that tv series.
That guy must be popular, i do see his face is some memes and i have read some of his quotes.

What is the name of the actor?
What is the name of that series?

IkpuMmadu:
She super ugly....does she use black polish as cream ?

Someone cannot be black in peace again?
If she bleach u will still complain.

Kaycee7:
So what's your question?

If they kept deadpool true his comic arc, why change a serious Thor and make him humorous?

I know that humor sells but not every character should be humorous.
Characters like Captain, Thor, Black panther and hulk are serious.

Marvel can do all the humor they want with GOTG and the new spiderman but they shouldn't overstep.

How would you feel if they gave you a humorous Black Panther or Thanos. It just doesn't make sense.

They wanna make more money...cool.
But they have to be careful with their characters and treat them right.

FOX didn't change Wolverine's tone, it was serious and gritty...very little humor and yet Logan and Xmen Origins were very successful movies.

You dont have to change a character and add unneccasary humor just to hit it big in the box office.

Haba!

Kaycee7:
Anybody who knew Deadpool from the comics knew the movie would be adult comedy. It couldn't have worked any other way

What about Thor
I read his comic books and he's not a comedian or humorous character and Ragnarok from the comic book is a very serious storyline.

mightyhaze:
i still cant pinpoint the source of this ur grief o.. igbos are nigerians and last i checked, igbos hav equal rights even in ur ancestral land.. igbos are nit exempted by any laws to contest n take up offices even in ur lga.. so chil, lest u expire b4 ur time

I smell tribalism.

The OP is a tribal bigot.

Presidency belongs to every tribe.
Igbo
Yoruba
Ijaw
Hausa

Every tribe has the right to seek presidency.

Only a tribal bigot would say that Igbos should not run for presidency.

olu4life:
Thor - 6/10 Basically turned a good movie to a joke. Same pattern they used for Deadpool. Unnecessary scenes and dumb jokes
Coco - 7.5/10

Marvel turned the almighty Thor into a stand up comedian

They will keep serving us humor and jokes as long they make hundreds of dollars in box office...so better get used to it.

Thor Ragnarok - 7/10

bolagabriella:
I beg to differ. There is a difference between comedy and having a sense of humor. The character portrayed by Marvel in Thor ragnock isn't comedy but humour. Comedy is what you see in series like bing bang theory, superior donut, friends, speechless etc

Humor, comedy...call it whatever you want but you cant argue with the fact that most marvel movies nowadays are just a hogwash superhero adventure that makes people laugh.

There is no seriousness.
No atom of darkness of grit.
No emotional depth.

If you want to understand me better....
Compare the first Spiderman to Homecoming and you'll see the big difference.

Heroes like Thor now have a sense of humor!

If dem mama born them , make dem try that rubbish with Captain America and Black Panther.

I have been a Marvel fan for years.
I grew up reading the comic books.

The original Ragnarok storyline from the comic book was an emotional journey coupled with seriousness, darkness and grit.

It's just like Titanic and Lord of the
Rings.
It was epic!

No time to blink or crack jokes.

Ragnarok movie na child's play.
Go and read the comic book and you'll see the epic story that marvel snubbed....just to give us a cheap action thriller with humor.

Someone said Ragnarok made him laugh.

The original Ragnarok is not a laughing.

The movie is great but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Marvel should release a serious movie for once.

Enough of the humor.

Too much of something is not good.

SAMBHOSS:
Ragnarok was superb......

10/10........just kept laughing....

Everything about Marvel in 2017 is comedy.

GOTG 2 - Comedy
Spiderman Homecoming - Comedy
Thor Ragnarok - Comedy

They have successfully turned Almighty Thor into a stand up comedian

Who is next

Black Panther
Captain America
Thanos

I hope Black Panther and Avengers 3 wont be comedies

If i wanted to laugh, i will just watch Big Bang Theory or Jumanji.

I need a serious film, enough with the comedies.

Marvel bikonu, dont fall my hand this 2018, na beg i dey beg

miksonics:

He is worse than Jesus.

SMH... Everybody wants be relevant

My friend, if you have any brilliant argument that would counter the points i raised in my article, please i urge you to bring it forth.

I'm not here to seek relevance or insult christians...NO.
I'm here to share my opinion and promote contructive criticism and intelligent arguments.

Thank you.

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."That sounds grotesque, doesn't it? And it totally contradicts what Jesus just told the two guys in Luke 10 and Luke 18. And what about Matthew 18:2-3:
He called a little child and had him stand among them. And [Jesus] said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."How, exactly, does one "become like little children?" For example, little children frequently believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and often will fight fiercely with their sibblings. Are we, as adults, supposed to take on these qualities? Jesus does not really say, making this requirement totally nebulous.
But is it true? If you "become like little children", do you get to go to heaven? No, actually not. In reality you have to be "born again" in order to see the kingdom of God. In John 3:3-8 Jesus says:
"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."That is about as clear as mud, isn't it? But that is what Jesus says, and it totally contradicts all the other stuff he said.
But let's ignore the contradiction for a moment. Is this true? If we become like little children... in fact, if we regress all the way to infants by being "born again" of water and the Spirit, do we get to go to heaven? No... Jesus is wrong again. Because in Matthew 5:17-20 Jesus says this:
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.This is getting absurd, isn't it? Pharisees and scribes are adults, not children. And if you read the Bible, you know that the pharisees are anal nut-jobs. But that is what Jesus says. Forget the "born again" stuff and the children -- turn yourself into an anal nut-job instead. Our righteousness, and our adherence to the laws of the old testament, must exceed that of the Pharisees in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Which means we need to start killinga whole lot of people.
And then there is the famous verse, John 3:16:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."So which is it What do you have to do to have eternal life and go to heaven There are probably 15 other stipulations scattered throughout the Bible. There is no way to know which is right, and they all contradict each other. But now that you have looked at all this stuff, one thing should be crystal clear: Jesus had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
The most amazing part of all this is that "eternal life" is a total fantasy. No one gets eternal life, because what Jesus is peddling is a scam. Every biologist will tell you with certainty that all of life is a chemical reaction. Therefore, the whole idea of a "soul" is a figment of human imagination. See Chapter 27for details.
When you add all of these examples up, the truth is completely obvious. Jesus wasn't "the son of God." Jesus was a total jerk. He was a fatuous person if there ever was one. And he was a snake oil salesman besides. The fact that "Christians" cannot see this shows the depth of their delusion.

If you are a person who steals other people's stuff, you are a jerk. In Mark 11:1-3 we find this transaction:
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.' "How many times have you had some jerk say, "let me borrow this and I'll return it in a minute," never to see that person again? It is a common scam. And that's exactly what Jesus does. The disciples take the colt, but if you search the scriptures you find that they never bother to return it. Wow - what a jerk.
By the way, that is not the only place in the Bible where Jesus steals something. In Matthew 8:28-34 Jesus steals an entire herd of pigs and kills them all.
Have you noticed that in many cases Jesus is childish and emotional, rather than thoughtful? People who act like this are jerks. Here's an example from Matthew 18:7-9:
"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.This statement is totally ridiculous on several different levels. First, something like a hand cannot "cause you to sin" -- your brain causes "sin." Every intelligent person knows that. Therefore, gouging your eye out or cutting your hand off is useless. If you have a problem with "sin" and you are going to amputate something to solve it, you would need to amputate yourbrain, since that is where all "sin" originates.
But if you think about it further, you realize that Jesus has completely missed the actual remedy. If you are having a problem with unproductive behaviors, what you need to do is either educate or rehabilitate yourself. You would do that by talking with a counselor or seeing a therapist. Amputation is an absurd prescription, as every intelligent person knows. Jesus is not only a jerk -- he is an idiot. He dispenses advice that is completely useless, and recklessly dangerous as well.
Here is another emotional outburst from Mark 11:15-16:
On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.Is this a smart thing to do? Is this the kind of behavior you expect from a thoughtful, rational adult? No, it is the behavior of a child. Surely the all-powerful son of God could come up with a better plan than knocking over tables in a one-time outburst.
In Mark 11:12-14 we find another emotional reaction:
The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.Later we learn that the tree is dead.
Let's see. The son of God is hungry. He approaches a fig tree. The tree is out of season and has no fruit. Jesus wants fruit.So he kills the tree. What a total jerk! Why didn't he wave his all-powerful hand and cause figs to appear? Or how about borrowing a raisin from someone and turning it into a 5,000 baskets of figs? Only a true jerk would kill something out of spite.
Here is one final example. Let's say that you want to really jerk people around. One way to do that would be to constantly contradict yourself. Therefore, we find Jesus saying this in Luke 14:26:
Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.OK, so if we hate everything, we can be Jesus' disciple. That's a great message from someone who elsewhere says, "Love your enemy" and "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." And don't forget that one of the commandments is to honor your father and mother. So which is it Jesus? If we want to be your disciple, should we love our enemies, our neighbors and our parents, or should we hate them? Only a jerk would create a totally contradictory set of requirements like that.
What if you want eternal life? What do you need to do? Presumably you need to hate everyone and life itself. Then in Luke 10:25-28 we find another requirement:

The dictionary defines ajerkas a "foolish, rude, or contemptible person" . Another dictionary throws in the word "fatuous" as well, and then defines fatuous as, "vacuously, smugly, and unconsciously foolish".
Given these definitions, can we make the case that Jesus was a jerk? Let's see what we find when we look at God's word.
A person who is a hypocrite is certainly a jerk. No one likes a hypocrite, because hypocrites are smugly foolish. And Jesus seems to have a problem with hypocrisy. For example, one of Jesus' most famous lines is, "Love your enemies," as he says here in Matthew 5:43:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven."He reiterates the message in Luke 6:26:
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.That seems simple enough. And wouldn't you expect Jesus to love his enemies? Yes you would, unless he is a hypocrite. Therefore, what we find in Mark 16:15-16 is surprising. It shows us how Jesus treats his enemies:
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned [to hell].This is "good" news? Jesus doesn't love his enemies at all. In fact, you don't even need to be an enemy -- even those who would rather not "believe in" Jesus are condemned to eternal torture in a lake of fire. This level of hypocrisy is the kind of thing you expect from a jerk. For further examples of hypocrisy and contradiction, try comparing Matthew 5:16 with Matthew 6:1, or John 14:27 with Matthew 10:34, or 2 Kings 2:11 with John 3:13, or Exodus 33:11 with John 1:18, or Mark 9:40 with Luke 11:23.
In the same way, a person who breaks his promises is a jerk. We can see that Jesus breaks promises by looking at Mark 11:24:
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.In John chapter 14, verses 12 through 14 we find the same thing:
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.When a person says, "ask anything in my name, and I will do it," what does he mean? Presumably, Jesus means that if you ask for anything, he will do it. What else could he possibly mean, unless he is being dishonest? And Jesus does not say it once. He says the same thing over and over again. In Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and it will be given to you." In Matthew 17:20: "Nothing will be impossible for you." In Matthew 21:21: "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." You may have noticed, however, that Jesus is lying. You can pray for all sorts of things and nothing will happen. We all know that. A person who breaks his promises like this is clearly a jerk.
What if Jesus tells stories that are completely untrue? For example, take Matthew 4:8 as an example:
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.The problem with this story is that the earth must be flat for it to work. From a tall mountain it is impossible to see "all the kingdoms." Even standing on Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on earth, the farthest you could see is 250 miles to the horizon . Yet we know that at the time of Jesus, there were thriving kingdoms in China, India, South America, Europe, etc. So clearly this story could not have happened. People who are dishonest like this are jerks.
Another easy way to see that Jesus is a jerk is to recognize his bigotry. In Matthew 15:22-26 we find this telling conversation:
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession." Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."Jesus calls this woman a dog because she is not the right nationality. That is both ridiculous, and a clear indication that he is a jerk.

Most Christians have a warm, loving image of Jesus. Jesus is the "Prince of Peace" and the "Lamb of God" in their eyes. But is this image accurate? If you had never heard of Jesus before, and you decided you wanted to learn about him by reading the Bible, what sort of person would you discover?
