Good one, but not quite ready for stand up.

That's the biggest cherry picked list I've ever seen, some of what you said Jesus said is what Paul has said and Paul has agreed with all Christ taught, the sources you use are making you look real stupid, if I were you I would rely on my own search over such ineptness.

Mankind had invented many many many God concepts before Yaweh.
What makes Yaweh so special?


 God created the universe and all it contains, man created those gods that are as dead as the flat 'possum laying in the road from a week ago.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

There was no moses...there was no exodus.  It's all a fucking fairy tale you dumb ass.

If there was a god he'd be ashamed of you.

Yeah, good question: what makes Jesus special?

Is it virgin birth? But Samson was also a virgin birth and we can do it for decades. An egg can easily be taken from a virgin, be united with a sperm in a test tube and be reinserted into the uterus without any physical contact being involved. Indeed, the parents need never have met. Where is the miracle? Not to mention that several figures in the Old Testament had births of an even more miraculous nature like Melchizedek who had no father, mother, or genealogy. Or Eve came from a rib. Or Isaac that came from a very old woman past her menstrual age.

Or is it the Resurrection? But how can that be of any real importance when so many people rose from the dead before Jesus? Elijah rose and lives somewhere in heaven, the widow of Nain's son rose from the dead, Jairus's daughter rose from the dead, Elisha raised the dead son of a Shunammite, Lazarus rose from the dead, and many others followed suit. And all of these people rose before Jesus. So by the time Jesus rose, rising from the dead was actually a rather common occurrence.

Or miracles? Well they are very fanciful and ridiculous. It is really hard not to observe that if people like Jesus, who apparently knew everything, failed to mention stuff like penicillin but instead gave warnings about Evil Eye and not washing your hands before eating.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

2. Nothing makes it special. Regardless of how angry they get when you point it out . There's nothing unique about it.

Stop the presses. Oh wait, this happens so often that they haven't been able to start back up since he joined.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
