Consider this:

The first writings to appear about Jesus came from St Paul 30 years after the alleged death of Christ who, while writing 18,000 words on the Christian religion apparently knew absolutely nothing about Mary, the Virgin birth, Joseph, Bethlehem, the wise men, John the Baptist, the miracles, Judas betrayal etc, all the things that we associate with the Jesus story. Paul only ever mentioned the crucifiction, death and resurrection of Jesus but he never once talked about them happening on earth nor mentioned the idea that Jesus was ever alive on this planet. He often talked of Jesus using sentences like (paraphrased) "Jesus, had he ever been to earth would certainly not have been a priest" implying that Jesus had never been to earth. This also supports the court testimony of one of the very early Christians Peter from which i believe it all started, in court peter never claimed Jesus was a man, he referred to him as a guiding star in the sky whom he conversed with and received instruction, so it was no wonder he was seen by the Roman authorities to be a nut-job who did nothing more than disagree with Jewish tradition.

The first time the back-story of Jesus was established was in Mark around 70AD which was in fact written by an anonymous Greek who's work was attributed to the disciple Mark, it is a similar story for the other gospel accounts which were also written much latter and, surprisingly, directly contradict each others version of events.

if jesus doesnt exist then Christianity has no base at all and that makes muslims more stupid as they believe jesus is prophet of allah and mohammad continued with his teachings!

@Ugly animal man. Firstly, don't put words into my mouth. The two arguments you have put forward to me have had no correleation to what I have said whatsoever. If you are trying to read between the lines, I suggest you look a little harder.

Next, I also find it very amusing how you make absoulte statements about certain subjects i.e

But you cannot pass on knowledge from one generation to the next in ths way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't that why people are getting smarter, faster, stronger and better at the things we do!

People get smarter by education and by buidling on knowledge of previous generations captured on media (books, DVD, movie, what have you) or provided by that generation itself. Also there is the dynamic of culture that plays a significant role. So this is not the biological evolution but cultural evolution. We learn from each other. There may be a genetic effect also, but as far as I know it has not been verified yet. The common scientific take on this at the moment is that we are not smarter than Cro-Magnon, which is an early form of homo sapiens really.

Thirdly, Yes and if you look closely at my responce before this one I did mention the above informnation . How about you take my entire response and respond to that. If there is a question answer it, but chopping up sections of debate and responding to certain parts, and ignoring the other parts is sheer disregard to the dabate as a whole, and what is being said. It is the same as when media take a sound bite and make it look how they would like to portray it.

Your last point does not even merit a responce.

Can this statement be true then?


@THE void: You may refer to my signature....

So you agree, but prefer to disagree. Fine by me kiddo. Tell me when you're ready for debate. I'll wait...

[ib.me.ub]

Hmm, which part would you like to debate?

[Purple Rabbit]

The question is not about what to debate.
To debate or not to debate that's the question.

The worst part of living a good holy life is

that when you do get to heaven you're going to spend

the rest of eternity telling God how wonderful he is.
