People love to believe this sort of stuff...
And we are asked to...
...without any proof.
I use the same crap detector when it comes to this babble...
But we KNOW it's bullshit. These Christians haven't had any rest in, oh, ever...
Is there nothing in the bible that embarrasses a Christian?
And don't try to tell me that the stuff that happened in the Old Testament was replaced by the New Testament, cause without the Old Testament being true, then there was no Eden and tree and Eve and the apple and....original sin. Without original sin Jesus had no reason to come to Earth...or he lied to us.
The "What if you're wrong?" question, or what philosophers call Pascal's Wager, is a terrible way to approach the god subject.
Let's look at it this way...
If Christians are right, 5 billion people are wrong.
If Muslims are right, 5.5 people are wrong.
If Hindus are right, 6 billion people are wrong.
If there is no god, 16 billion people are wrong.
Of course, neither "Allah" or "God" would have any problem watching billions of souls burn for eternity, but that's beside the point. Fear of death (and let's face it, that's what religion is all about) is no reason to cling to mythical deities whose "laws" and "commandments" are responsible for the general dysfunction of human civilization.
The supreme arrogance of religious thinking; that a carbon-based bag of mostly water on a speck of iron-silicate dust around a boring dwarf star in a minor galaxy in an underpopulated local group of galaxies in an unfashionable suburb of a supercluster would look up at the sky and declare that it is all made so they could show the "creator" that they worship him.
If you think the Earth is 6000 years old, please don't breed.
Interesting story...
After
a 10-year investigation and criminal trial, an Israeli antiquities collector
has been cleared of forgery charges. That means the modest limestone burial box
pictured above — an ossuary inscribed with the earliest-known reference to
Jesus – is the real deal.
Back
in 2003, skeptics questioned the authenticity of the box, claiming that the
owner, Oded Golan, had forged the mention of Jesus. He was arrested and charged
with forgery. He's now been cleared of those charges after a thorough analysis
of the artifact. Golan plans to put the box on display in Israel. It has not
been seen in public since it was briefly displayed in Toronto in 2002.
Chiseled on the side are the words, "James, son of
Joseph, brother of Jesus." The inscription is written in Jewish script and
was done using a sharp instrument.
Question: Was THE Jesus the only man in the Middle East named Jesus back then? I seriously don't know.
