Quote:That's like saying you don't believe in the person who invented baseball because there was a lot of baseball players in the past that cheated.
You are typical in a staggering ability to miss the point. So I guess I have to explain it simply for your benefit. Your church was founded by a collection of scumbags for the purpose of controlling dolts ( look in a mirror ) with absurd promises of "rewards in the next life..." meanwhile STFU and do what they tell you and you happily agree to this absurd bargain.
Either produce evidence that your jesus actually existed AND did all the magic tricks you find so wonderful or admit that your particular superstition is not more reasonable than Osiris or Odin.
As Sam Harris notes in Letter to a Xtian Nation....
Quote:There is, in fact, no worldview more reprehensible in its arrogance than that of a religious believer: the creator of the universe takes an interest in me, approves of me, loves me, and will reward me after death; my current beliefs, drawn from scripture, will remain the best statement of the truth until the end of the world; everyone who disagrees with me will spend eternity in hell. ...

Your beliefs are infantile. They are the ultimate ego trip. Grow up and figure out how badly you have been conned.
