Stolen from the Greeks....back when they still worshiped the Olympian gods. You thus glibly repeat what is a pagan mantra. Whoever invented your 'jesus' wasn't even original!

hah! same as muslims

one good statement doesn't make whole belief true. next command you will have to accept would be "start a holy crusade." or "burn witches at stake" or "brush your teeth."
