One question for Christians

[Drich]

...So who would read what had been written? You are aware that 95% of the 1st century population was illeritate don't you?

He did not mention anything about the readers, you dimwit. He mentioned the writers, who were literate, and could have done a much better job had their imaginations been even halfway decent.

Thought this through to the end did you?

If there are no readers then to whom are the writters writting? Without followers (Readers in this case) your Great story dies off in a few generations. Where are ALL of the great stories of the forgotten gods of the conquored people Rome subjugated? Thier gods stories were all concocted and written down, so where are they?


Without worshipers, these gods are forgotten, unless there is a binigne intrest in their stories, or a desire to perserve an ancient culture.

So that Should point you to the common sense question that I was asking:
Just because you have a good story, it does not mean anyone will be around to read it, especially if 95% of the people can not read or write. If there is no one to read it then your Nobel prize winning story will have been lost to time.

Maybe that is why Christianity did not start out that way. (As so many of you good people are willing to point out.)
