I don’t understand why you all hate God. Why don’t you believe He exists? I read in an earlier message that the Bible is filled with historical errors. Actually, it is very historically accurate. Christianity has been around since the beginning of time – it just didn’t have the name Christianity. The belief in God was the very first religion, until man sinned.

Christianity is one of the younger religions. If you want to go by age, then hay! The egyptians were more right than the Christians. Speaking of comparing Egyptians and Christians, look up a comparison between Horus and Jesus. It’s very interesting how Jesus’ story is not original. And Horus was there first. So I think he wins.

I don’t think it’s possible to hate something that doesnt exist.

Name me one thing from the bible that has been PROVEN historically accurate.
Oh, what? Can’t find anything? That’s because every story in the bible is one of two things: a metaphor or a poem. They aren’t meant to be taken LITERALLY. Hell, we REALLY don’t even know how old Jesus was when he died, or what year he was born. We can guess, but we don’t know. The bible is not a SCIENCE BOOK or a BOOK OF FACTS. For God’s sake (pun), there’s even two different creation stories (yes that’s true).
It’s funny when non-Christians read the bible more than Christians…
Lauren (#363): Not only do we not know WHEN Jesus was born, we don’t know IF he was born. Funny how a guy preaching the Sermon on the Mount to thousands and performing miracles like raising the dead left NO historical trace of his life.
We also don’t know WHERE he was born. It certainly wasn’t Bethlehem, since the town of that name in Galilee didn’t EXIST until generations later. Also: why the hell would the Romans need the Jews to register for a census in the town they were a “house” of? Think the Romans gave a damn who the Jews claimed they were descended from over a thousand years beforehand?
@ -COG,
The bible is historically accurate? If you really believe that, I need some proof that will be publishable in Physical Review Letters about the stories in Genesis. Any of them will do. Many of us here will presume that a non-response, or a non-publishable response will be an explicit statement by you that you are ignorant of what you are talking about, that you haven’t read the bible critically, and that you are regurgitating lies that you’ve heard from the pulpit by a preacher who wants no more than to live high off of your money.

christians now..say that yeah yeah guys everything in the bible is supposed to be a metaphor. its like ohhhh now i get it that makes everything ok then :). besides..they werent metaphors during the crusades..or when non-christians are burned alive simply for not believing. its only now that science has proved the majority or the bible’s bulllllllshitttt wrong, that christians and shit now say its not meant to be taken literally. of course..once again..it seems to me they took it pretty literally in the past.
I like seeing sports, but I detest having to pay a lot for cable tv. I just lately found a service that gives you access to 3,500 HD channels directly on your computer. The best part is there is no regular costs, in contrast to cable tv. I like it! Get Tv on your Pc right here Get rid of your cable monthly bill.
Read the exodus part of the Old Testament and think that the God mentioned there is the Sun. It fits quite well, if you’re not in denial mode. And it would even make sense, since the guys who told those tales were former Egyptian slaves. The Egyptians regarded the Sun as their god (one of them anyway). I think worshipping sun would still be nice. It’s something that actually exists and it gives life. And stuff like that. But RAmen for now.
