Zone1 Jesus Christ: The MYTH

[Meriweather]

Any belief can be questioned and it doesnt prove any such thing. Bash is different thing

Yes. This calls to mind a sign that was popular on college campuses when I was a teen: Question authority! Word got around that someone had written on one of these signs: When authority answers, will you be listening?

how innocent again ....

desert dwellers, christian morality.

Okay, I decided to listen to the video, but then stopped in the beginning when it said, "A man publicly executed for sedition."

Not true, according to the story. And Jesus did not challenge Roman authority, as the video said.

It's funny when atheists say they know the Bible better than Christians do. They do not.

In other words, you won't be working directly with the children, meeting their needs. You will take a political side.

Not sure why you think I should be "workign with children", exactly.
Obviously, there's not much I can do with the restraints of the law.

Two wrongs make a right? That's some amazing logic.

What wrong are you talking about? I think "I don't think Jesus is real" is a lot less serious that murdering each other over transubstantiation.

For those playing along at home, transubstantiation is the silly Catholic Belief that the bread and wine literally become Jesus after the Priest says some magic words, as opposed to sensible protestants, who think it's just symbolic. When we had our first communion and they were sticking those nasty-ass wafers in our mouths, the Nuns told us not to Chew because we would be biting Jesus!!!

 

[JoeB131]

Yes. A prophet is not welcome in his own home. Here we are quite familiar with all the faults you have found in the Catholic Church. Now, how about your own faults? Why were you never able to find anything divine, let alone anything good, about the faith surrounding you? You know my philosophy: Any time anyone needs to bash someone's faith/philosophy is due to the insecurity they have with their own faith/philosophy.

Well, again, pretty sure I haven't burned any witches or tortured any heretics.

I didn't find anything good because there was nothing good in it. It was a bunch of crazy nuns using guilt trips and whacking kids with wooden rulers.

And the one time I needed it, they said something to me so offensive I had to walk away to not belt the old bat because "that was God's will too!"

Best day of my life was when I rejected that nonsense and found my life was far more fun without it.

Arguing YOUR irrational fears are ok because others supposedly had irrational fears too.

Or an extremely powerful experience to share in Christ's suffering. I wouldn't expect you to understand the faith of others, just not to be disrespectful about it. You are such as tolerant person, eh? Can't wait until you get to experience the other end of it.

Um, not believing in imaginary beings is VERY rational.

There's a whole list of Gods you don't believe in. I just believe in one less than you do.

Wow. Some of that Christian Tolerance. "I hope you suffer for not beleiving what I believe!"

It reminds me of the old joke, a man gets to heaven, and St. Pete is showing him around. "Well, those are the Lutherans over there, and the Buhddists over there, and Muslims over there."

"Who's behind that brick wall?"

"Oh, those are the Catholics, they like to think they are the only ones up here!"

I agree. I don't believe in imaginary beings either. But I was referring to your irrational fear of Christians.

 

[Papageorgio]

There were many prophets in that era, one of whom may have been Jesus.

There are records from that era, none of which substantiate the Jesus in the Bible

Says the board liar.

No, I think you should experience what you do which is a very Christian belief since we believe we will be judged by how we judge others. Same difference. The reality of this sitiuation is that you are an anti-Christian bigot. Only when you are the recipient of bigotry will you understand just how wrong you are to behave this way. So for both of our sakes, let's hope you get to experience that sooner rather than later.

That tired old sound bite? There are an infinite supply of numbers that one could for 2+2=.... However, just because an infinite number of answers are incorrect does not rule out there is one number that is correct. Like you, we don't believe in any infinite number of wrong possibilities. We do believe there is one correct answer.

Would you argue that because there is only one right answer to an addition problem, and an infinite number of wrong answers, the problem is not worth pursuing?

Or.. .there's no afterlife.
And wasting a large chunk of your life trying to appease an imaginary sky fairy is a waste of effort.

But how do you know your answer is right?

Only 2 billion Humans are Christians. Only half of them are Catholics. The majority of humanity believe in something else.

how many in the heavens are the same answer as the one you seem to believe is better than all the others ...

You worry about that way more than I do. I focus on the journey, not the destination. I walk with God now.

But how do you know your answer is right?

I don't think like you do. None of that matters. All that matters is my relationship with God. If that is right, all of my other relationships are right.

You can't see the forest for the trees. You think religious dogma matters. It doesn't. The most important thing is to seek God with all your heart. Everything else takes care of itself.

What would you consider a right answer? How would you know the right answer?

Only 44% of the world's population is proficient in basic math. Only 20% of the population speaks the world's most widely spoken language. The majority of the population, is not proficient in math; over eighty percent do not speak English, and over fifty-percent are not Catholic. What about it? Are you suggesting this is something everyone should be wailing and grinding their teeth over?

then condemn the desert bibles for what they are, works of forgeries lies and fallacies and join those that gave their lives in the 1st century who did know the truth.

Why?

Good thing I don't do that and it's even a better thing that God isn't imaginary.

Apparently, you living your life without God isn't good enough for you. You need other people to live their life without God too.

I'm not wasting my life. I'm celebrating it.

Worship is a foundational, transformative, and often daily practice that connects individuals with the divine, fostering spiritual growth, emotional wellness, and community unity.
