You sure keep splattering quotes from that monstrous compilation all over the place, as if they mean anything. As I said many posts ago, the ridiculous old book proves less than nothing. I could grab quotes from Harry Potter that would be more interesting and have more relevance. If your imaginary friend exists and isn't utterly and completely impotent and incompetent, then have it show up and say "hi". A creature that supposedly created billions of galaxies should be able to do that - particularly in an era where a 7-year-old can make a post on Facebook and have it traverse the globe. No deity worth a second's notice needs a HUMAN BEING to speak FOR it.(July 22, 2017 at 12:21 pm)drfuzzy Wrote:

One piece of evidence. One little itty bitty bit of proof. People have been trying to find it for more than 2000 years without success.

Oh, and by the way, it was a political move. Constantine was never christian. He needed to get the leaders of a squabbling cult to agree on something, and he needed to find a way to control the squabbling cult.

I've read the wholly babble cover to cover many times. I was made to memorize it as a child. That's how I know it's crap.

Guys, guys, I keep asking you exactly why you don't like JC, was it something he said or did that ruffles your feathers?
When am I gonna get a straight answer around here?
Oh, I like some of the stuff ol' JC reportedly said, if he existed. The taking care of your neighbor bit was cool, mostly because it called out selfishness, religious bigotry, thinking that you're "too good" to take care of lowly scum who aren't as holy as you are, all of that crap. The hero of the story was somebody too lowly for a "righteous Jew" to speak to. I like some of the stuff in the Buddhist writings, I like the book of the Tao, and Confucius is cool. Mostly.
But "like" Jesus? Jesus is dead, if he ever existed. The concept is weird. I like lots of fictional characters, but they have no impact on real life. Just like Jesus. The only problem is I don't have assholes getting in my face throwing fits that I don't LIKE Batman and quoting lines from comic books and movies as if they were important.
