Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
To the OP/thread starter:

I don't deny Jesus existed. Even if the name was "added" after and the real name was something else. It doesn't matter. I've found plenty to convince me that some crazy but wise rabbi was out and about in the region saying he was the Son of God and seemed to be professing that he was fulfilling Old Testament prophecy. And in general? He seemed pretty legit on his moral grounds anyway. Might have been crazy to say he was "his own son of an omnipotent being" but other wise, had some real good common sense stuff to say!
But religiously?
What's it matter?
To me, the whole Judean faith tree crumbles under it's own weight like any spiritual religion does. Religions are forced to evolve in order to persist through the ages. Christianity was born of Judaism, which was born of Babylonian mythos which was born out of Sumerian mythos. For the most part? The Buck stops there as far as we know but just going back that far, we can see that everything was born out've mythological crap.

So we have two options:

There for, Aliens

-or-

There for, we made it up due to our ignorance of our universe.

I'd like to clarify though that, I still think this "Jesus" individual said some pretty meaningful things. It's just, I find no reason that his God is needed to support the common sense the man was preaching on a daily basis.
