Busted out laughing and got people in the airport like

The sad thing is that religious people can't see that they actually look like this. Talk about the end of days, but only become devout when they get scared. The lady in there that was a high school mental health specialist

Nope, they are the most accurate accounts of modern mans experiences during those times.

A glimpse into the immaterial world that science will never rationalize

Yes, attempts at rationalizing the universe from people who didn't understand how it works.

Understanding the motives of man > rationalizing the universe (which will never be done)

2 Thessalonians 2
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

All I really 'know' is what happened in the last 27 years of my life

The books tell me that Jesus is an idea that existed for thousands of years at least, and not a real person, to help let people know how to act

The major books of monotheism are written as a puzzle that purposely can't be solved.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

So what's this article really saying? That there was never a Jesus at all? Or that there was a historical Jesus who later became mythologized into the Jesus of the Bible?

The latter.

The former.

The latter view of the historical Jesus who became mythologized is agreed upon by the vast majority of non-theists. Fitzgerald goes a step further and says there was no Jesus at all.

Article seemed to lean toward the latter

I always believed he existed. I just didn't believe he was the super savior that Christians made him out to be.

I dont think anyone knew who Jesus was. shyt if u read the gospels it's very clear that Jesus didn't like the ppl who were around him

Right.

I'll grant people that there were some charismatic and engaging "leaders" at the time, but all the supernatural shyt didn't happen (we know this and I hope we don't have to explain why/how) and he definitely wasn't who he said he was.

We've had bigger and more powerful leaders come along in the world who deified themselves like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. to a level where they were themselves religious entities in the way they were revered so limiting the definition of "religion" to the Big Three is simply disingenuous.

It wasn't him who said he was anything. It was those around him and those who came after him

All the posters that either have lisps, look like homosexuals, are indian, are gay will want to believe christ isn't real.

The N.T. Is 99.5% historically accurate. The 0.5% are mistakes are things like you vs your.

By the way are you now against prayers and vitamins because you don't have on the red and yellow? What will the Hulkamaniacs think?

THEY CAN STICK IT, BROTHER!

MIracles didn't happen. Just get that through your head. Stop thinking magically. It makes you an insipid child.

Furthermore, EVERY critic dismisses Josephus not because of the conditions he wrote his "testimony" under but because not only did he never meet this guy, everything he wrote is hearsay. All of it.

Do you really think a 2000 year old man with no understanding of how the world works WOULDNT be misled about some fantasy shyt happening?

Don't be fukking stupid.

Do yourself a favor and look up what the inscription says on Larazus tomb says. The evidence exists and it is archeological and historical. Opinions will not change the fact they exist today.

Theres no books written before then. Stop lying

I will admit the easiest part of talking with you is it will not change the facts. Did you know the book of Job is one of the earliest accounts stating the earth is a sphere floating on nothing? Did you know Paul correctly described the currents in the region during his travels while other scholars got it wrong for hundreds of years afterwards? Did you know we know and have more documentation for Jesus than Aristotle, two different Caesars and Plato?

Don't stick with what the discovery channel says. They have been caught lying many times.

Thats not scientifically demonstrated.

False.

Did you know Paul correctly described the currents in the region during his travels while other scholars got it wrong for hundreds of years afterwards?

Determining trade winds doesn't mean his cult leader was the son of god

Did you know we know and have more documentation for Jesus than Aristotle, two different Caesars and Plato?

And this doesn't mean he "cured the sick"

Don't stick with what the discovery channel says. They have been caught lying many times.]

And you're too stupid to tell the difference.

And none of this makes your cult leader uniquely the "son of a god"

 

[Thsnnor]

Determining trade winds doesn't mean his cult leader was the son of god
And this doesn't mean he "cured the sick"

And it was for these two reasons why he was put to death. Even they were smart enough to know that Satan can not cast out Satan.

Remember, if Jesus body was found we would not be discussing this today. His body was not found and we even have records of him being seen
in the 40 days afterwards.
