watch the first 20 min of Zeitgeist if you want to know where Jesus and christianity etc. came from.
Just google video "Zeitgeist", you'll find it.
[quote=GraziLovesMary]ahhh and yet another thread full of religious debate! Yay! Allow me to throw my two cents in real quick...
wait for it...
it seem u have a problem with people that have other views than u or else u would'nt feel the need to reply???
This is craziness! Just reading all of these spirituality posts. Its like a huge virtual tug-o-war.
I say, as an atheist and someone whos kinda a third party in this thread, that theres no need for low blows and all this holier than thou crap. If you believe in god, then great. But keep that shit to yourselves and vice versa to any other religious stuff out there. Especially in the real world.
And this thread was doomed from the start btw with the crazy CAPS IN EVERYTHING THAT WAS TYPED. It doesnt make you look any more credible.
Why argue? Its not like someones going to "converted" on a freaking pot board room. hey, if you think that so and so is going to hell then let them go. And if you think their misguided nut jobs then think that too but let the other person get whats comming to them.
Atheist and your:
Wrong-You burn in hell
Right-You had a very kick ass life not worrying about some magical man in the sky. You enjoyed all of lifes pleasures without fear and persecution.
Religious and your:
Right-You get eternal bliss for however long and then well, their not quite sure the bible says 1,000 years of peace and then no one knows. But hell, im sure its grand.
Wrong- You wasted your whole life. Your ONLY life on this little green and blue planet. And you spent the whole thing in a underlying fear of hell. You fell for the oldest trick in the book and MAYBE, just MAYBE you helped kill other cultures and people who didnt agree
a wasted life? yes I lived a wasted life, I lived a wasted life by living my life by my own rules, by the way I saw fit, it was a wasted life filled with divorce where people were hurt, caues IQuote:

but then I had a change of heart, I met the Lord, but He did not burded me with a bunch of dos and donts, he only told me to love my neighbor as my self, was not always easy, but He gave me the love to do it with......A wasted life? thank God that he has set me free from a wasted life.:)
Well im a pretty firm believer that this is the only life you get and you should live it to the fullest. Regardless if your religious or not. I just find that as an Atheist I feel an extra need to really do it all b/c shit, this is my one and ONLY shot. Theres nothing after I die. So do it ALL. Of course that doesnt mean becoming some nutjub on hard drugs and shit. B/c I feel that wouldnt help but indeed hinder that one life I have to live.
But heres my question, if gods waiting to open you into the pearly gates with open arms how come your not running twords him?
This is of course assuming that Xianity or something similar is correct. It's entirely possible that you can be an atheist and reap the benefits of an eternal happiness of sorts, as long as Xianity isn't true.Quote:

No matter what your sins are, Apollo will always love you.
I am running towards Him, and I await with joy for his return.:thumbsup:Quote:

I'm still curious if that tomb they found does in fact contain the remains of Jesus and his wife and family. It'll be interesting if DNA and other scientific evidence proves that, as that will essentially collapse the entire Christian belief system. (e.g., Jesus didn't ascend to heaven, cuz here's his corpse, and he married and had kids cuz here they are, and God wasn't his father cuz we traced his father to this other guy via DNA, and so on.)
I wonder if that would create a mass exodus from Christianity to another religion. Religion is a crutch, and people get addicted to their crutches. If this one doesn't work, get another. It'd be rather ironic if the religion they flocked to ended up being Islam.
WOW I wonder why the jews and the romans were not as smartQuote:

Has nothing to do with me. I didn't hide the tomb two thousand years ago. (But whoever did hide it, they did a pretty good job - it stayed hidden a very long time.) I didn't find the tomb either, and I won't be analyzing it. I've never even been to Israel. It's just an interesting footnote to history to me, however it turns out.
I wonder, if that is Jesus that they found, if it will be possible to extract DNA from a corpse that old. Now *that* would be cool. I mean, that really *would* be a second coming, of a sort, if they cloned him and created a new Baby Jesus. Could even sell Jesus DNA on ebay, let every Christian buy one! I hear Jesus clones do good carpentry work. Heh.
you make a good point by using scripure to prove a point in a discusion aganst a atheist, but we belive that the word is livingQuote:
