Totally NOT a debate about the veracity of the gospels

[*Deidre*]

There was no robe. There was no story. That's the point (I think?) Jacob is trying to make. It's a fictional story, which is why the 'colors of the robe' ...change. Has nothing to do with Greek translations, or anything else. I find it hilarious that Christians take a fictional tale, and add all this 'scholarly sounding' bullshit to it, to make it 'appear' like a true story. Well, if we translate it in Greek it means....this.

It's a bullshit story in any language.

So you say....

But I cannot help but wonder, if it is all just bull as you say, why are you so interested in it?

What you are doing is akin to me spending time in a forum arguing and debating with people and asking them questions about gnomes and leprechauns.

If it is all bull, as you claim, why are you so interested in asking people about bull?

You must like it an awful lot, or either be incredibly bored.

Because I once believed in it. And I don't know if I can ever get past that part of it. The part where I followed it for a long time, and like you, witnessed my faith to others. And for what? A lie?

It is a lie, discipulus. I know you don't or won't see it that way, but maybe someday ...you will be on the other side, just like I am, now. And while I've come a long way, it's very hard to get past knowing that a religion like Christianity has prospered for so long, by duping people.

This is what I feel, anyways. And why are you posting here? To save us wretches from eternal damnation? lol
