Jesus of Nazareth was a nut, whom the literate Romans crucified without so much as a historical footnote, and the hundreds of thousands of individuals who could have mentioned his existence didn't, because, he was not worth mentioning -- they all knew a religious loon when they saw one.

Instead, it was due to the influence of a bunch of illiterate, lowerclass peasants, all of whom believed in a flat Earth, and one apocalyptic literate psychotic individual, Paul, who sowed the foundations of what would later become a world religion.

But, yet, here we are discussing it!

Jesus was never crucified. If there was a preacher named Yeshua bar Yosef in Iudaea around the start of the Principate and if he were killed by authorities it would be the jewish religious authorities either stoning or lynching him. A crucifiction would never have happened unless the life of Yeshua was much different than that portrayed for Jesus in the bible.

If you can't imagine how something would exist with no time/space, that's a you problem. If you further claim boldly that existence is necessarily spatial, you're arguing from incredulity.

It's not logically possible to split the moon..  Hilarious

If it's logically possible to split an apple, it's logically possible to split the moon. Differences in size are irrelevant when it comes to logical possiblity.

I understand now why they say that philosophy isn't for everyone.

Reading isn't for everyone -- fairies do not split apples.

I know this is hard for an islamist to process..but the moon has never been split, and fairies can't do anything to begin with. Size isn't an issue. Fairies can't split apples either.

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"

Of course, the Moon likely arose from the splitting of Theia:
