G-C thinks his god is a miserable prick. That's why he follows him!

Yeah, the "Did a real Jesus actually exist?" question is boring because it doesn't really address the more important component: "If so, was he magic?" Also, the idea that bad things happen to innocents because of sin is so fucking vile.

Yes, that's one of things I hate most about these kinds of cults.
God can hand out horrible diseases, send in rapists or drop a mountain on someone's head and people will just blame themselves. Or each other. Or even some stupid bitch who ate a fucking apple. How do we know God is the "good one", again? Feel free to send me a private message.

Very little was written about him when he was alive but all those writings are lost. -Or- how about everything written about him in detail is considered to be a religious text and is ignored. Tell me that's not stacking the deck.  (April 19, 2016 at 5:05 pm)Godschild Wrote:(April 19, 2016 at 11:59 am)Hoppingbunny Wrote: If he did exist, then obviously he was so minor that either 1.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

You are fairly dense aren't you, we call it Christianity for a reason, guess why since you can't reason it. GC
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.
