I take no offense to anything you said. but im not trying to score any points with any god. I save that for the people I love and care about. they are here and very real, I know this, there is no doubt. god is tricky. no concrete proof to his existence but at the same time where the hell did we come from? where did A god. any god come from? is there more then one? and he is just called by different names? or are there many?Scardaddy wrote:

What I want to know (if Jesus did exist) is why 'God' sent him down 2000 years ago when, to be honest, not much was going on.
Now though there is a load of shit going on in the world (and 50 years ago with the holocaust) and where's Jesus?
No seriously, Jesus did exist it has been proved. He was the sun of a carpenter. Weather or not he has or had anything to do with any religious establishment is beyond my knowledge, and I'm pretty sure no one around, except a handful of deliberating scholars knows the answer to that question. Chances are you'll never hear the true answer either.
I think someone made a very very very valid point in saying this is nothing more then a debate on opinion.
Having said that I think Jesus existed and was no sun of GOD. If he thought he was, it was because he was nuts. If people thought he could do amazing things like turn water into wine, chances are he was nothing more then a magician.
The real question you should be asking is what was Mosses smoking to see that burning tree and to be able to part the red seas, I mean really, I want some of that high grade please...Thank you very much.Good point, people don't really get the idea that we are supposed to not live directly by the word of god but to use his teachings as guidelines, most fanatics totally miss that point in all religions and for that I hate them too. However, your lack of participation in religion is only a sign of your inability to choose and deal with the consequences of your decision. I mean I used to be like that but then I realized you don't get any points sitting on the fence, if you know what I mean, if not think about it (no offence intended).Christbane wrote:
Jesus is a nice guy! it's his fan club that drives me crazy!
my take on this... stories passed on by word of mouth tend to get more grandiose with each telling. so Jesus showing up to a village with some wine and fish, turns into wow! he turned water into wine and feed us all fish he magically created!
Jake you look a lot like that Jesus guy they claim was the son of god. after he dies on the cross I have a plan to get us everything we ever wanted!
I don't deny the existence or non existence of any god, I just choose to not participate.
so far my feeling is if there is a god he moved on and put us on auto pilot long ago. maybe his time passed and another god was born. and he moved on to create one of the many new solar systems we seem to be constantly finding. I dont believe he, it. whatever. is watching over us and is going to judge us when we die. thats just mankind twisting it to scare us and keep us in line. an early form of government.
when I die I will be reborn. I will go to the ground, become part of the earth. maybe a tree will grow in the soil I was planted in.
