Debate with a Christian

[*Deidre*]

Discipulus, while I disagree with his views, isn't a mean spirited troll. He believes what he believes, that's admirable, in its own kind of way.

But, trolls? Not sure where the motivation comes from to just say unoriginal one liners, and watch people react to them. That's probably it, they just want reactions, not inter-actions.

Not to mention, watching him attempt a debate is at least somewhat entertaining in its own sad little way.

Yea, but I think when you follow a religion, (I speak from experience) ...your only 'reliable source' is the Bible. And that's not an objectively reliable source. You can find historical writings about Jesus, and so on, but again, where are they getting their material from? The only reason Jesus comes into the historical fold, is a religious leader of sorts. (Meanwhile, I don't think he was pro-religion, but ...)

You can read different perspectives about who he might have been, but usually they are religious slants. Islam for example doesn't believe he was the Savior of the world. Doesn't even believe he was crucified. So...who he was, what he was, is up for religoius interpretation, and that is the only reason he even 'fits' into history. In other words, kids don't study Jesus' life in World History class. :p
