Paul says... Paul says... so it must be true. The Bible says the Bible says.. so it must be true! Well no. Not one single thing that Paul says about himself or about Jesus can be supported in any way at all, other than in the category of the Bible's own fabricated narrative, which itself is...

For reasons of habit and outdated tradition politicians place their hand on the Bible for swearing to uphold the Constitution. They don't put their hand on the Constitution swearing to uphold the Bible. You'd be more on point blaming evangelicals rather than liberals for losing your God and...

It would no longer be (blind) faith if factual information could alter it. It becomes something more substantive, non-fictional. You could say, more honest. The title of the thread is "What is the historical evidence that Jesus Christ lived and died?" It isn't "What is the historical evidence...

I don't know, does it? You tell me. The point being, once again it appears Christians are all about Christians. Here they can't even think to give the smallest of acknowledgments to the millions of other non Christian and non religious citizens who face similar and worse persecution in China.

Chinese authorities persecute any religious group including Buddhists, Uighur Muslims and any other group whatsoever which they might take exception to, religious or not. Christians have no special precedence in China for experiencing persecution.

o_O 200 to 300 years of changing New Testament stories is probably being generous. For example in the earliest manuscripts of John's gospel, Jesus doesn't say "Let any among you who is without sin cast the first stone." That line appears much later in texts of the 2nd and 3rd centuries...

If you are writing about someone 60 years after they were supposed to have been alive, but you never met them, and there are no substantiated records whatsoever of their existence, and you describe them in terms that avoid the earthly but refer only to the heavenly, as the author known only as...

"We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." Charles Bukowski

You'd go crazy if you took Bible stuff seriously, but to take it seriously, you'd already have to be crazy.

A benevolent God making life really difficult? Doesn't jive. Values which should be understood by everyone were always there so are reminders from fictional characters in an ancient story book of religious threats and dubious morality really the way to go? With God and Moses being only...

Well, does it? Can a religious person muster up integrity in its own right, without Bible Jesus? Doing things because they are right. Not because an imaginary God threatens hell if they don't, lowering the morality bar at the same time. But this is supposed to be a Christian country! Maybe...

I totally agree with what you say about Christianity and indeed it extends to most religions. What I think is particularly demeaning to the human spirit is the way religious people are dependent on instruction from the contents of a story book of all things, to understand what is good and true...

Look very carefully..... Jesus not real

Mythological beings are not real. Lessons and values which are timeless lose nothing by not attaching the word Jesus to them.

Religion ends and philosophy begins, just as alchemy ends and chemistry begins and astrology ends and astronomy begins.
