No Resurrection=LOVE
Resurrection=nothing
If Jesus was God then he was the same God that used incest to populate the world, drowned millions of innocent babies and children in the flood. The same vain and cruel God that has caused so much death and prejudice.
I believe Jesus died to STOP religion not to start a new one!
The bible does say God hates Religion.
Amos 5:16-23
23. Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
I don't believe God has ever spoken to anyone. Some men believed God was cruel and other men believed God was love. This is why the bible is so contradictory.
Belief is not knowledge! Beliefs are a reflection of the believer!
To believe in nothing; that's a negative.
I'm not sure who Jesus was, and I don't think his name was Jesus at all, and I don't think that the New Testament would have accurately described his teachings having been manipulated by other people to achieve their own means.
Regardless if he did exist, or a man similar to him during that time, he was most definitely a man.
