Another painfully stupid statement born of MSNBC bullshit and leftist lies. I don't think you can post without looking like a moron and lying your dumb ass off. :palm:

All belief in some "god" are man's feeble attempt to explain what he does not understand. I think it is a fear of death and a world without them that they cannot fathom. Believing that death is not the end and there is an afterlife is the perfect excuse to believe. If that is what it takes to live your life and not be afraid then so be it, I'm not against the practice.

Personally I'm not terribly fond of this heaven and hell scenario because hell sounds too warm for me and I don't think I will find anyone I know in heaven.:whoa:

Another incredibly ignorant and stupid post. You never disappoint. Ironic that when the end comes to halfwits like you, you cry for momma and God.

To think that thanks to religion we are all not barbarians is just about the fucking stupidest shit you have posted. Throughout history it is religion that has caused more death and misery than just about anything.

Never heard of the Spanish Inquisition, the burning of Joan of Arc, the hanging of witches in Salem, the Troubles in Ireland and hundreds of other examples of Christians murdering people in the name of religion.

Equating the actions of men onto Religion illustrates the level of ignorance and stupidity you wallow in.

Recently, I’ve been listening to and reading material from numerous Bible scholars. Who the authors of the NT were, when and where they wrote, what they said. Consistencies and contradictions, etc. From Jesus’ birth to his death. Interesting stuff.

Turns out, it’s almost, if not completely, all myth. Stories from people who never met him, saw him, heard him, or even speak his language. Not a one. Some were written to satisfy prophecies in the OT. Some were written to satisfy their then-current theological needs. Nevertheless, myths. Concoctions. From virgin birth to miracles to resurrection. All bullshit.

Interesting to also note how many Biblical scholars, once devout, evangelical types, completely abandoned Christianity once they actually dove into the details of the NT rather than blindly accepting it.

Nice opinion piece. :thup:

Disagreed that it's all myth simply by the ripple in history the existence of Jesus caused. Agreed the virgin birth was added post-mortem. Considering the times, I also understand how ignorant, but intelligent people can mistake some natural events, coincidence and the like for "magic" or "miracles".

I have no doubt Jesus existed and that his time in Jerusalem inspired a spiritual movement that grew to dominate the West. Aside from that, I'm skeptical.

My wife is a strong Christian and a fervent believer in the power of prayer and believes miracles happen. I believe in a Watchmaker God. God created the Universe and all the rules within it. Altering those rules for special people would be cheating, IMO. I believe that most of us are born with Free Will, exceptions being retardation and mental illness. If there are miracles, then it's inside each of us by virtue of our choices and willingness to help others. Prayer = meditation and psych studies have proved the power of positive thinking. If a person wants to believe praying to God will give them the strength to survive a situation, I won't dissuade them since the result is the same as a person who is a strong believer in the power of positive thinking. If people want to believe in religion, I support their right to do so.

The only time I will question religion is when some asshole, be they a Hare Krishna, a Bible-thumper, atheist or anyone else, harasses me about it.

I don’t doubt the power of prayer at all. For the person praying. But, if anyone believes that their prayers for a third party make any difference, they’re fooling themselves.

Nice work, and i agree with you.

There's no doubt from the perspective of health, studies show consistently that prayer and religion are healthy. For the reasons you mentioned and that there is a built in community support and mutual help support structure that comes with religious participation.

I do think some of the sermons and parables by Jesus have a ring of authenticity. The common thread in all the authors who independently wrote about Jesus reflect that his ministry was based on universal love, charity, mercy, and being on the side of the poor and oppressed.

Paul and Mark wrote when there were people still alive who remembered Jesus, and it would been hard for them to get away with fabrications like the virgin birth. In fact, Mark and Paul don't mention Jesus' birth at all. It would be odd that they would just choose to not mention something as incredible as a virgin birth.

The Jewish Torah supposedly has an oral tradition that Mary was impregnated by a Roman soldier (open to debate), and I have wondered if this unflattering oral tradition was purposefully swept under the rug by the creation of a virgin birth narrative.

If you were really any good at Truth detection, 1) you'd know this is Easter Sunday and 2) that Transgender Day has been around for 15 years. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/30/1241589753/transgender-day-of-visibility-rachel-crandall-crocker

However, in the name of Jesus Christ, I forgive you for being an bitter, demented old man who spends his days spreading hate across the Internet. Sad.

The Jews of the time were looking for a take-no-prisoners messiah to free them from that Roman mess. It must have been difficult, maybe impossible, for many to accept one that was passive. Passive AND dead.

I meant the Talmud. It was a brain fart to write Torah. Some scholars think there are references to Jesus in the Talmud, but it's debatable

Possibly. The Talmud has some unflattering passages about Jesus being a sorcerer who had disciples and who tried to lead Israel astray and was executed. Other scholars dispute these Talmudic references are to the historic Jesus.
