Overstating the case for Athiesm.

[Minimalist]

Depends on the individual, wouldn't you say?

And I'm still not certain what your problem is with the Jews.

No, individuals are largely the same unless you are insane and ascribe special powers to them. ADDED being specific, they all lived and died, they all have tales told about them after their death, they all interacted with the government. It is in fact far more credible that a person was "erased" than they did not exist 2000 years ago from that sort of evidence. Claiming theological evidence and broad philosophical and theological "evidence" supports the non existence of a specific individual makes you the Ken Ham of atheism. I will not support a "this guy never lived" factual display, as your observations are nothing more than observations of inconsistencies and gaps in historical records, nothing more.

My problem with the jews is they are stupid fakes who make everything up just like christians and muslims. They also believe in fairy tales about moses and their history, which are most likely more false than mormon history. If you dont' agree I can't possibly see how you are possibly an atheist and not just an incredibly deceptive jewish theologian.

Are you afraid to criticize jews who believe in their religion, or jews who were raised in their religion, or the jewish tradition, and why treat them differently than substituting christian or scientology or koreshian.

Kindly check out my Damned Jews thread for your answer there. No, what pisses me off with jesus freaks is that they take jewish books and twist them into their own bullshit. I have my own idea about how the jews ended up as the bad guys in this little drama that xtians concocted. And it has precious little to do with any fucking scriptures.

I would also say there is a big difference between Alexander the Great or Augustus Caesar than some nameless peasant farmer who died and was dropped into a hole in the ground. They are all individuals but there are vast differences in their impacts.

"Jesus" seems to have no impact during his life and a legend which grew bigger...just like the average fish-story...with each re-telling. This makes me suspicious.
