New religion

[Epimethean]

So duration is the expression of truthfulness? By this token, you admit that Hinduism is true, Judaism is true, and Islam is true. So, you are a pantheist, Carn?

Why did I become an atheist? Because the bullshit like you just sprayed smelled and tasted foul. It has no substance save for its nastiness.

Please
1) explain your argument re duration.
2) explain the information provided that you regard as drivel.
It will be great if you could provide fact as it is quite difficult to respond to general and unsubstantiated remarks.

"In the first place, Christianity would have died an early death if what was recorded in Scripture were falsehoods - which could easily have been proven by those living close to or during the time the reported events happened. Nowhere are the facts stated disputed in early writings.
Christianity was hardly “in vogue” at the time of Jesus, and could easily have been dismissed if the facts stated could have been proven wrong. Especially the resurrection."

Here is the answer to 1 and 2. This is rubbish. Many religions survived despite absolutely no reliable evidence of their miracles or the reliability of their prophecies. Any crackpot can interpret any text and gain a "prophecy" out of it, especially retrospectively, which seems to have been the case with the "resurrection." Please, stop palavering about truth when you are using a fairy tale collection with about as much historical accuracy as The Chronicles of Narnia.

Yeah, I read C.S. Lewis, even some of his religious crap. He was better when he admitted what he was writing was fantasy. Is it possible to drum it into your head that the bible contains few if any facts? It is a storybook compendium. You should read Battlefield Earth. Maybe it is full of facts, too, but we'll just have to wait until aliens invade, then start up the rationalization machine again.

The best use of the word jesus is to evince utter disgust, which is what I feel when you ask for facts while spouting off biblical inanities. Evidence is the word you should ask for, and yet, before you do, you should provide some yourself.
