Good day mate!
October 18, 2014 at 6:33 am
(This post was last modified: October 18, 2014 at 7:09 am by aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!.)
Im mainly here to discover how much of what is found in the Bible can be Historically verified and I doubt you can get reliable answers from Christians.
At one time I believed there was more evidence for Cheeses Crust than Alexander the Great. Then I met some atheists that put me in my place.
My other interests are brilliant people and good senses of humour. In that order.

Want the truth? Not very much.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Welcome.
Just do a search on the forums, there are a few threads on that already I think.

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Don't listen to the Josephus guy!

Josephus is actually a very good ancient source. The christian fraud introduced into his works after he died, not so much.
