Debate me or are you going to roll over and post pictures of your mother again?
Show me an original text written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.
Show me the original text written by Jesus. That one should be easy...right? God interrupts his busy "spying on people schedule"...to come all the way down here to "straighten people up". But he forgets to write ANYTHING down? He doesn't "have a girl" taking notes for the biography? Did God think this through? How come he hasn't come back as scheduled?
Show me ANY text...by ANY author at the time of Jesus that mentions him.
Show me ANY record at all of Jesus that was made at the time of Jesus.
Nobody KNOWS where he was born...lived...and died. There are guesses, but that is all they are.
My personal opinion is that Paul made up Christianity using a fictional "Jesus". Much like Muhammad invented Islam. Some people can be quite motivating. Look at the martyrs who have died following Jim Jones, Heavens Gate, Waco, Ruby Ridge...they ALL thought THEY were right too.
Farming...lots of free time between a crazy rush. When all your friends believe, it makes you wonder.
I have nothing against the "church" concept...neighbors getting together, socializing, helping each other...it's the ruse to get them there that I don't like. But, how else could you get them there...motivate them to attend. Heaven and hell are quite the motivating concept if you can get to the people (infants) early enough, before they have the skills to question.
The three big religions...Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all related. All come from the old Jewish stories. And those stories came from stories that are even older.
The great flood...is the story of the end of the last ice age and the oceans rising 400ft. The Black Sea flooded quickly when the land at Istanbul gave way and was over-topped some say the Mediterranean filled quickly. People lived along the coasts like they do now. The coasts flooded...more and more...every year...it was the great flood. It was passed down orally until writing and then appears as "tales" because nobody could prove it ever happened and there was no writing to keep records. The great flood IS a fact in the Bible...but NOT how the Bible tells it.
I could go on and on...
