Ok.....So you killed off Religion...

[Brian37]

Acounts? No you are saying the myth is popular, sure it is and for 2000 years that myth has been handed down to to the point of billions today. So?

If in 5,000 years there are billions of copies of Harry Potter does that mean little boys can fly around on brooms?

Well....women have been flying on brooms for a thousand years now....and they have a small following in Salem, Mass. And that could blossom in a few millennium!

Listen to what he said. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE during the alleged claimed time of the claimed Jesus character. Every account about the character was WRITTEN AFTER THE FACT. The Romans were excellent census takers and if someone had been going around gaining the popularity as alleged in the bible, the ROMANS OF THAT TIME would have taken note of it OUTSIDE the bible. They did not.

I believe ....and tell me if I'm wrong now....but weren't Romans trying to exterminate Christians? Also, I think they were big on extinguishing the names of "anyone" who would be a hostile king? Maybe even their own people?

Actually...it makes perfect sense to erase a guy like THAT!

And even if a man named Jesus did exist it wouldn't matter anyway. It takes two sets of DNA to manifest into a baby from a sperm and egg. And human flesh does not survive rigor mortis. So even if we agreed he did exist all it would prove is a MERE MAN and not a god/man, started a cult that got popular and went on to become a religion. Just like L Ron Hubbard was a mere man who started Scientology.

You sound a lot like L Ron Hubbbaabbler...right now!

The bible was written over 1,000 year period by 40 authors and books left out. That is hardly the work of an alleged "All powerful" god. It is absurd to claim that a god could "poof" everything into existence then resort to mere mortals for his manual.

The bible was written by humans, not handed down by a god. You can pepper works of fiction with real people and real places but it does not make the fiction real, otherwise Superman is real because we've seen him fly around New York City.

Funny thing is? You and I are still arguing about that old "manual"! LOL!
...and I can't think of another publication that is still on the best seller list 2000 years later!

Wouldn't you love to have that publisher$ bank account! WHEWWWW!

Ok I am going to make a claim right now. "I claim that I know Bill Gates and he gave me 1 billion dollars." By your stupid logic, since Bill Gates is a real person, I must be a billionaire. Are you willing to blindly buy my claim now?

There is no such thing as a god or gods, there are certainly real people who have created many different religions, but none of the claimed in them are real because a person started a cult. Otherwise I am a billionaire merely because I claimed it.

OK! I will believe you......... When: a book is written about YOU by 40 different authors. Get a cult started because of YOU. And then YOU die and come back from the dead... we'll have dinner together!

As a bonus? I'll pay for your dinner!

No, see I know people don't come back from the dead. You are the gullible one who believes in magic, not me.

Go look up rigor mortis.

You've found your sense of humor! Now isn't that just a helluva lot more fun? (The shit you have to say is no more convincing but at least now we don't have to endure that shrill tone in order to recognize what sort of shit you're dishing.)

I have a personal relationship with my god, The Dude. That or His Dudeness or Duder or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Point is, I pray to Dude, and my prayers usually have the same chance of coming true that a Christian's does: 50/50. My odds are still pretty good with old Duder.

[Faith No More]

Plus, the dude isn't all arrogant and stuck up about you worshiping him. He just wants you to drink white russians and have a good time.

Right, it is all the same, call your pet deity "Dude" or "Marduke" or "Thor" or "Snarf" and it is all the same. A non material human concocted fantasy based on the wishful thinking of gullible humans.

(I suspect it will be a loooong wait)

While a valid argument against the character's existence historically, it still would not matter if a man with that name started the religion of Christianity. All it would mean is a MERE MAN started a religion. It still would not make godsperm real or surviving rigor mortis real.

Quite, without authentication of the numerous miracles he is supposed to have performed, he is just another of the messianic loonies wandering around the area.

You people crack me up! You can have any ideas that you want; any [concept or theory] you dig-up and cut and paste is gospel; any hair-brained writer that supports your views ...

BUT... anyone (billions!) w/o "your opinion" are: (place your insult here)!

You let many of your fellow atheists get away with some of the most outrageuos stupidity and vulgarity I've seen on the net!

All in the name of forwarding your agenda: "Hate".

But, let a Christian lose his cool around here?! Does the hypocrisy need to slap you upside your heads to know it?

Atheists are the the epitome of "...straining on a knat and swallowing a camel."

You support a "concept" that means nothing! Subtraction. You take away any good that comes from religion, and it's billions of decent, loving people who believe that only Good comes from God. You try to kill a whole nation for the crimes of one state. Yet you try to change a nation for the opinion of one state!

"There is No God", is just plain dumb! No matter how you slice it, dice it or scream it from the mountain-tops....STUPID! And your efforts to make Chrisitians look dumb are pale in comparison to that quote!

Christians are Smart. Agnostics are Intelligent. Atheists?

My analogy of an atheist is like sticking your head in the sand.....and hoping you don't get kicked in the ass.

The onus is on you for proof. We have Jesus!

There will still be those people without a doubt who will still believe in god.
