Jesus on the Gospel, not any Christian Church, and the Afterlife

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The Gospels are not history.

The above, as well as your earlier post, are simply one more way for theists to claim that the Bible doesn't mean what it says. Luke could have included a passage reading something like, 'And the Lord did go among the reeds and rushes by the roadside. There did He squatteth and take Him a huge dump, and it stinketh', and your ilk would insist that it was a chaste and holy allegory referring to the rewards of heaven or how to deal with false prophets or price controls on flummery pie.

The Jesus Editorial Board invented the Hell Christians are so concerned with. They didn't invent nothingness as a consequence of sin.

Sorry, I couldn't get well your point.

Anyway, do you mean you heard what I said about 'hell' from another source, mainly a Christian one?!

My point is that the ‘holy’ books are so infested with reprehensible behaviours and ideas that religionists have to go all round the houses in a ridiculous attempt to show that the books are something worthwhile. All of the extraneous bombastic circumlocution you people can muster will never change the fact that the books - Christian and Muslim - call for and promise nightmarishly painful punishment for sinners and non-believers.
