To you and Michael. I have read of many and have found some to be credible. Almost anything I say is going to be argued when it comes to this subject, but I found this to be interesting to me anyway since you mentioned Horus. https://sites.google.com/site/religionsc...m-the-dead
I am aware of Mithra and it was a competing religion at the time, and they mimicked most things during christianity's beginning. Even if none of what I've read is true, I can easily look at the bible and any other religious book and realize it's a bunch of fairy tales. If you debunk all of my conclusions and every other magical story before yours, why not take a closer, more critical look at the things in your "holy" book? The endless contradictions in the bible, the mass genocide, rape, blood sacrifice, and subjugation of women, and the countless moronic rules and commands given by this supreme being. Check out some of the ones in the gospels too, ones that you can't debunk, the ones that are identical stories that are in all 4 gospels that contradict each other. http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm Check this out and then click the rape and the slavery section as well, and then tell me that the all-loving God told this to his people to do this stuff. Also check out all the insane rules in Leviticus, that were so divinely inspired. I'm not saying everything in the bible is evil and bad. There is truth and goodness in it for sure, but when there is a ton of misinformation, evil, and things like talking snakes, and virgin births you really have to look at it from a skeptical point of view, just like you do with every other religion I'm sure. Tell me why God needed a savior after billions of years too. Humans (homo sapiens) have been proven over the age 150,000 years. Even though I would argue over 2+ million years because of homo erectus being quite similar. Why after 148,000 years, God realized he made a mistake, "Whoooops, I made a mistake, I can't save anyone on my own, I need to sacrifice one human being for all creation, because one is enough." Does Jesus count for everyone else on every other planet as well, do these beings on these planets know Jesus died for them? Probably not. With all the religions and cults that ever existed on this planet, the odds you're in the correct one is almost zero, if there is a correct one.----**Explain to me why other religions are wrong, why your religion is correct, and explain to me where I'm wrong in my logic**----. And don't give me the Old Testament is abolished speech (Did your God get it wrong?), your 10 commandments are in there and slavery and subjugation of women is ok in the new testament as well. I cannot express enough, look at your religion with the most skeptical point of view and ask yourself why you believe it. -Respectfully Eel_Lahjick
