Why do people still believe in Jesus and Christianity?

Frege is universally acknowledged as one of the founders of modern analytic philosophy. You simply opine on things without knowledge.

I only want to know one thing!

Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

I've asked this question all of my life since I was about 10- NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER!

Well dang!

Lie. Fallacy fallacy. You deny your own statements. You are supporting those that lie and desire the destruction of the Constitution of the United States. You belong to the Church of Global Warming. You continue to try to use false references. You make empty promises. You deny science. You deny mathematics. You deny logic. You deny philosophy. You can't even define what 'Truth' means.

A true follower of Jesus knows that the sin is in the intent, the harm it does. Not just the simple word. It's how a person uses fucking or cockroach that determines if they are on a Christian path, not whether they utter the words.

Do you believe Yakuda used cockroaches in a Christian loving manner? Yes or no, please.

no.....but then I believe that not only can you be a Christian and sin, but it is impossible to be a Christian or anything else and NOT sin......

No one has an answer because it is not possible to prove whether Adam or Eve ever even existed or not. We do not know what they looked like. We do not know if God fashioned belly buttons for them or not. It really doesn't matter. You have spent your life on an trivial detail that has no significance either way.

Maybe this is the root of your problem.

No. Myth just means an account of events which cannot be empirically tested for truth.

???....do you make up your own definitions for other words or just the one you have to manipulate to support your arguments.......because under that definition the origin of man by evolution is a myth.......

There's obviously a difference between science and belief. Different planes of existence, the Multiverse Theory and other forms of existence are possible but unproved.

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."**

A lot of myth has a basis in fact. Things like Ezekiel's Wheels could be a description of advanced technology; be it extraterrestrial, extradimensional or extratemporal. Similarly with other legends like King Arthur. The documentation on a 2000 year old carpenter executed for sedition or blasphemy would certainly be below the historical radar unless they left a pretty big impact on the population. Those claiming "total fabrication" are often "total idiots".



Arthur C. Clarke's Three Laws:
  • When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
  • The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  • Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Very little literature has been written about Jesus in his lifetime. You would think for a Man-God there would be MORE.
