This trash was sent to me via email from one of the Pastors in my community. I need to give him a good reply. Some ideas will be appreciated.
Quote:Yeshua or Jesus. He chose to be born in poverty with no college degree, little travel, no public office, and executed as a common criminal while still young. Yet 2000 years later, He has had more of an impact on empires, institutions, and the people of Earth than any person who has ever lived. His visit to Earth was described hundreds of years before His birth was minutely detailed by the ancient Hebrew prophets.
Jesus interrupted human history, and the influence of His life soon permeated the Roman Empire, setting the course for future civilisations, their institutions, and billions of lives yet unborn. He claimed to be God in human form. His claim was substantiated by the fulfilment of the prophecies of the coming Messiah. Supernatural power He displayed by the divine authority by which He spoke, and by His resurrection from the dead witnessed by many.
Jesus is distinctively different from all others who are considered to be religious founders. He claimed to be God, and His life, actions, and words proved it. The others never made such a claim. Jesus claimed to be the way. The others suggested a way primarily for ethical living. He personified the summation of all valid ethics ù love. He was resurrected, leaving an empty grave. The others died as humans, and remained dead. He was the greatest and He is returning soon.

LOL, you beat me to it.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Ain't that the truth?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Dear Pastor,
Superman came to us from another planet and is beloved my more people, has better superpowers, has more interesting adventures, and better clothing. Aside from being better, I'm not so delusional as to believe he is anything other than fictional. I wish that you could at least acknokwledge the same. I'll send you a prayer to the allmighty superman that ye not come to harm from the vile Braniac, as his machinations causes great evil in the world.
Good Bye and Have a Wonderful Day.
PS: Honestly though, I'm thinking of converting to Batmanism.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

'Yeshua or Jesus'
Make your mind up.
'His birth was minutely detailed by the ancient Hebrew prophets.'
Same way astrologers say something that could apply to anyone
'He chose to be born in poverty with no college degree, little travel, no public office, and executed as a common criminal while still young'
So he WOULD vote Ron Paul?
'and the influence of His life soon permeated the Roman Empire'
As does Mohamed(PBUH) the kiddy fiddlers, no great brag.
'His claim was substantiated by the fulfilment of the prophecies of the coming Messiah.'
The Jews would disagree, and Jerry Falwell would disagree, them Jews are smart peoples.
'He claimed to be God, and His life, actions, and words proved it'
Cheap tricks and died young, he wasn't to good at being 'God'
'Supernatural power He displayed'
Water into wine, cheap conjurer.
'He was resurrected, leaving an empty grave.'
Grave robbers gonna rob graves.
