Having talked about Michael McIntyre, then Piers Morgan, I thought I'd just ask about Jesus Christ. I mean , Is it just me or was he a bit full of himself? Yes, sure he did some good stuff with the loaves and fishes and the water into wine, but that was a while back and whilst it might be said that his early stuff was good in it's time. Would it really cut it now? Isn't time folks stopped going on about him and paid more atention to more relevant folks like Paul Daniels, David Blaine or that Criss Angel Bloke?

As a pastafarian, I object. It's all about the flying spaghetti monster.

Jesus was a carpenter, well he could perform a miricle when he next goes into B and Q, and get a member of staff to serve him then.

Consider an individual who does not believe in Scripture.
- How would they explain how the earth’s rock layers, fossils, mountains and valleys came to be?
- Answer: Through processes that take millions of years.
- The processes of erosion, sedimentation and plate tectonics that occurred in the past produced what we observe around us and those same processes are still working today.
- Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? What are you told about how it formed?
- ”The Colorado River through the slow process of erosion carved out the canyon over millions of years.”
(Even on a vacation you need to be ready to discern naturalistic presuppositions)
If these processes took millions of years, and recorded history only goes back thousands of years, how do they know how it happened?
- Many people are looking for ways to explain our world through natural processes eliminating the need for a Creator God. The Bible predicted this would happen.

My old RE teacher once said, "Jesus was who he said he was, or he was the greatest con artist who ever lived."
Assuming that he ever lived, I'm inclined to agree. Though I doubt my conclusion was what he was looking for.

Romans
1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
....
1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Try reading the teachings of Jesus. If you can brush aside the coolness of atheism, you may find that what he reportedly said wasn't that outrageous really. Bit left wing for some on here, but there you go. You *will* find that what he said bears very little resemblence to the teachings of the established church(es).
Massive wealth for the church whilst millions die in poverty? If Jesus were around now, I think he would be pretty pissed off by that.
The African sub-continent, also known as "The Cradle of Civilisation", struggling to survive whilst God's representative on Earth rides around in a bullet-proof phone box? Can't see a guy who hung around with a very eclectic bunch of friends being terribly impressed by that at all.

i think that jesus never existed. i do believe that dinosaurs did exists. this is based on evidence and not a book.
HTH
Posted 1 year ago # -
Ah, but it just so happens the evidence is aligned with what you believe anyway. What have you done in the past when you have encountered evidence which is in direct opposition to what you believe?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think its quite likely that there was a Jewish prophet that the story of Jesus is based on. Quite a lot of the new testament is in accordance with the history of that time and place IIRC

How about if you want to believe something then cool and great, go for it? We all have our own beliefs and they don't have to be based on any truth.
What's really the problem is when people decide that it's time their (unfounded) beliefs should start affecting other people. Those people need a good kick up the chuff.

Heaven would appear, according to those people still alive, to be filled with either millions of forelock tugging worshippers prostrating themselves before the mighty one, or blokes with big beards constantly shagging 72 virgins.
Would hell be worse than that?

There's nothing wrong with believing in a god or something, or whatever. It's what people do. It'd be nice if jesus popped round and dished out some magic fish and wine. Cheaper than going shopping.

Well I'm guilty of this too but only when someone attempts to ram some doctrine down my throat. After that I consider them fair game.
If someone quietly thinks that not eating a pig makes them a better person I have no argument with them. If they knock on my door and start telling me that I'm off to hell unless I pay them money and declare war on the gay community then I have to admit, I've got an issue with them.
Organised religion is a terrible crime against humanity. I'm inclined to believe that joining a faith rather than accepting one is a bad step for all involved.

Kind of ironic that a carpenter was nailed to a plank. The bible would have ended very differently if he'd had his toolkit with him.
It was a bit long for me I'll stick with Thomas the tank engine. It has morals and everything.

Only memory
I think Herod was known to have been around and that there was a Roman census. Its that sort of stuff that I remember being in accordance with accepted history. I think there might even have been a comet that would be the star the magi followed.
I think it is reasonably likely that there was jewish prophet wandering around Galilee are at that sort of time being a ruddy nuisance to the establishment who eventually got himself crucified when they got really fed up with him
