I still don't understand why anyone would make up a person like the Biblical Christ..

Quote:For example Horus, Osiris, Krishna, Dionysus, and Jesus Christ all share the same birthday of December 25th.

Actually they don't. People keep quoting that bloody crackpot movie without actually checking the facts

Nobody knows when Jesus was allegedly born,but sometime in spring is accepted by many Christians. December 25 is the winter solstice. The Christians pinched it from Deus Sol Invictus. (just like the halo) As far as I'm aware, none of the deities mentioned has an ascribes birthday of Dec 25.


Quote:Uhhh, would you care to keep in mind that your Christianity preferentially selects those who suffer from vulnerability to promises of advantage that does not exist in the eyes of a rational detached observer?

I guess that's true of all religions. They catch people when they are children,because children accept whatever adults tell them uncritically. These beliefs become part of the person's world view. Few people have the desire ,need or psychological ability to seriously challenge their basic beliefs about anything.Hence atheists are vastly outnumbered.

I have never understood adult conversions,they always seem rather pathetic to me; fits exactly with what you say.
