Christian Apologetics and Arguments are Futile

[GodsRevolt]

Except that those ideas where not new at all and were postulated in indian philosophies such as jainism and buddhism as well

So was the reincarnation of a deity after three days. So was the idea of deities taking human form. The fact that Jesus is such an amalgam of recycled religious ideas is actually the starting point for those who think he's a complete fiction.

Even the Christian narrative points to it: Jesus was a kid, and did nothing special. He traveled (just for hoots?) to Asia Minor , and came back saying things that suprised the locals. It's almost like he was a backpacker studying foreign religions, and then incorporated them into a new fusion religion, isn't it?

Why doesn't the Bible say what he was doing during that time? Obvious answer: because then everyone would know where his religious ideas really came from.

BennyBoy, are you admitting that the gospels of Christ stem from a true person that actually existed?

Or are you making unfounded claims made popular in today's culture by prominent fiction?

Because admitting that Christ was a real person that actually existed is actually the first step to becoming a believer.
