Christianity a scam?

[Drich]

Most scholars say Jesus existed. Ok but... I was thinking about the Bible. I've read the whole new testament and some parts of the old testament (probably 1/3 of it.)

1I was thinking that maybe Jesus (the human prophet) staged all his miracles and made people believe he did all those things. His followers were religious zealots, so they helped him out. He probably paid someone to act as if they were blind/cripple/etc. and when he touched them, the person would have pretented he was cured. 

2When he was executed for being a public annoyance, his followers removed his body from the tomb and made everyone believe he resurrected and went to heaven. Over time, the early christians wrote the new testament books and molded Jesus' story so he could fit the old testament's requierements for being the messiah. And that included the mistranslation of young woman = virgin. So Mary was in fact no virgin at all and had several children besides Jesus. And Joseph was Jesus' true father (or some other man.)

3Jesus story was highly distorted and taken out of proportion by the time the new testament was written. I believe that Jesus was a normal person who used to preach to jews and was born of human parents. 

4It makes sense. Jesus never revealed anything that we didn't already know. What's the meaning of life? Where do we come from? Where are we going? He didn't answer those questions. He just preached whatever he believed in when he was alive and that doesn't prove he was anything special, but people are so supertitious and gullible they bought his story. Jews know this, that's why they don't care about christianity. I feel so cheated I want my money back! lol.

 

Glob..
1Did you really read the NT? Jesus healed high profile cripples. men who have been crippled and begging at the gates of the temple their whole lives, and afterword they were sent to the preists to be certified. the same preists who hated Christ and looked to dismiss him/proove him to be a fraud. So when Jesus sent a known blind man to them you can be sure he had more than a simple eye test. or the men with leporcy and on and on. not to mention the thousands who wittnessed these things in the mega masses.

2Rome seal the tomb. this means there was a detachment of soliders set to watch the tomb, and if it got rob it meant their lives. (Virgin and Young woman Means the same doo-mas) A child was anyone from the age of 0 to 10 a young woman was between the age of 10 and her botmisva which happened after her first period.

While a "young woman could marry" (Which basically meant she was set head of the house hold and any servants or she prepaired everything herself/ but no sex) till she was "confirmed." or had her period which in the eyes of the law made her a woman.

If a young woman/virgin wound up prego even if she was married it would mean the husband would be stoned. So how could they ever know back then if Joseph and marry were telling the truth? The temple preists's wives would have checked marry out (hymen inspection) as a man's life hung in the balance. Word would have spread like wild fire in a case like this.

That said nothing in the bible says she remained a perpetual virgin once she pooped out her first kid she was no longer a virgin. and every kid after that was like anyone else.

3) except that is not what the historical record shows. You have to be literally creating your own narritive based on nothing, and choose to blindly accept that over what 10's of 1000's period manuscripts actually say.

4It makes sense. Jesus never revealed anything that we didn't already know.

Just the natre of Heaven and Hell, the purpose and point of atonement and established a way to heaven without having to 'earn it' through moral based living.

What's the meaning of life?

To decide where or not to serve God for eternity.

Where do we come from?

From the one who created us.

Where are we going?

We are but a vapor, here one moment and gone the next.

He didn't answer those questions.

Actually he kind did

He just preached whatever he believed in when he was alive and that doesn't prove he was anything special, but people are so supertitious and gullible they bought his story. Jews know this, that's why they don't care about christianity. I feel so cheated I want my money back! lol.
