The Death and Resurrection of Christ?
#9
RE: The Death and Resurrection of Christ?
You have to understand the primitive nature of "news" in those days.
There was no thorough reporting, no cut and thrust of debating the evidence, people just made shit up and presented it as fact.

There are several possible reasons for the start of christianity.

1: A charismatic leader calling himself christ was executed by the romans and people made stuff up about him. I'm thinking of a David Koresh type character, (some branch davdians still think that david koresh was the 'lamb of god')
2: Saul of Tarsus made the whole thing up in much the same way as Joeseph Smith did with the mormans.
3: There was a sect that later invented a figure that matched what they were thinking, a sort of mythalogical figure head.
4: God sent himself down to earth to suffer so that he could be sacrificed to himself for a crime he invented, (only joking, this is not really an option)

Are you seriously asking why some people would lie to support their faith position.

And finally is that a picture of you in your avatar coz if it is you look just like my mates daughter, its uncanny.
















You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
