All the historical evidence suggests that Paul simply stole the Hercules myth (son of a god and mortal, did good deeds etc) when he arrived in Greece. I don’t see why the Christians would be afraid of this, here finally is some archaeological evidence that Jesus even existed, beyond the single documented person in the bible who knew him.

To me this implies there is some historical basis in Christian mythology, rather than the raving fantasy of a known charlatan and huckster.

I easier to believe that man kind is going to destroy the world with cars than see a volcano that can put up in one eruption ten years worth of green house gases, now that’s faith.

It’s easier to believe it’s natural for men and women to gay and engage in sodomy, that proves Darwin theory to the tee. We can tax smokers for the increased health costs when buying health insurance, but let some be a butt poker and we can wait to subsidize the private little perversions.

It’s easier to believe that the Atheist attacking Christians here are so brave, because of the healthy secular environment in Muslim countries, ie the religion of peace.

It’s easier to believe that the same science that say’s induahviduals inherit traits like intelligence, stamina and tendencies to drunkenness drug addiction and violence than each individual is loved by God and is offered a chance for salvation through His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, ie that we each have FREE WILL. The NAZI’s and Stalinist believed in science above everything else, all socialist/communist do. That’s why they’ve shown such an outstanding record of protecting the environment, tolerance of religion and equality of life.

Every little one of goose steeping member of NAZI Science live off the entails of Christian moral belief while they offer only the sterling reality of what? Babies are a lump of flesh. Marriage serves the means of the state. All decisions should be through science, is this the same science that say’s earth can only handle a billion humans and want’s eliminate the excess. Is this the science that invented the Atomic bomb? Is this the science that developed the guillotine, in the name of humanity or is the false savior of mankind prepared to sterilize all that it means to be human.

I’m not one the masses, I’m God’s creature, imbued with Free Will and a respect for life and a willingness to accept that responsibility. A steadfast rule is anyone that makes their living through words will loose all contact with the ability to survive, because they start to believe that their words define the world they inhabit, it doesn’t but a Muslim knife cutting at the base of their neck can send them onto the next.

but then again, whatever……………..

Religion believes the Big Spaghetti Monster created everything.

Take your argument back 6000 years. Sickness was the will of the Gods and you deserved to die for some mysterious transgression against all that was holy. Now we know about viruses and bacteria through science. Your argument 6000 years ago would have been:

“Only the Gods can strike down a man and make him cough blood. You shall forever be banished to Kurnugia (a Babylonian hell) for even questioning this wisdom!”

Through science we know about tuberculosis.

Do I know what happens after death? Nope…but inevitably, I am going to find out.

To those who say, “My God wouldn’t require me to..X Y Z” :
God doesn’t require the unsaved to do anything but accept His FREE gift of salvation.. Jesus Christ. The reason you don’t is because you’re prideful. Not just you though. Lucifer was prideful..

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:” – Isaiah 14:12-13

After you are saved, any good works you may do are because of the Love you have for God who gave you this free gift.

It amazes me that people think they are so powerful as to be able to control their afterlife when when can’t even control their existing life. Pride will not get you anywhere, and you cannot stand before a Holy, Righteous God and tell him that the death of His Son is of no consequence, and is not good enough.

The Gospel is simple (Gospel means “Good News”) — Good news! You can be saved, and become a Joint Arie with Christ! Requirements?? Nothing! Just accept the Free Gift!…

“For it is by grace that you have been saved, though faith-and this is not from yourselves,
it is the GIFT of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Eph. 2:8-9)

But oh, no.. YOU want to have a part.. You want CONTROL.. Ok.. Die and come back to life.. What? You cant do that? I thought you knew more than God… Or at least as much..

….

Never mind.. Continue to believe that all you see around you came from a random explosion in space.. On the face of it, its ridiculous.. ENTROPY, the 2nd law of Thermodynamics precludes this. Until someone can demonstrate the explosion of gold, glass, steel and the other raw materials of a watch, and hand me a ROLEX, I’m not going to believe you can get order from chaos. Sorry. Ok.. Time to flame me.. Doesn’t matter..

We’ll see if you are right when you die.. The best you can hope for is to be dead like a dog, because the other is unthinkable..

… Let the flames begin baby!! Burn baby Burn! ~

If Jesus wasn’t really the son of God, but rather some religious hypocrite, crackpot claiming to be the son of God, then the why NOT bury them together & use that inscription? People who believe are retards.

Did you read John Travolta’s words of wisdom saying that scientology might have saved her? What I’m wondering is, if he came with that deep thought when he was in mid-air or parking his 707 home.

I’m curious: what has science proven about God in the last couple of years?
