all conservative christians should be eliminated....they have never done anything good for anyone but themselves and oppress all others; blacks, woman, gays, immigrants....always conservative christians coming out the loudest demonizing minorities, always using the bible to argue how the equal rights of all will destory the world.

@Legendskilled Oh brother.... Trying reading More than a Carpenter, reading or watching The Case for Christ and others by Lee Strobel. I'm sure most people hope it's some ancient non-existant God... Why? They don't have any responsibility to that do they?

He thoroughly establishes the broad spectrum with respect to moral views before turning about to advocate that the one he believes in is the best.

Just look at how the paths diverge on the simple issue of what 'our' (his argument for his god's) morality is, exactly.

@Mathenaut How so?



[codechrist]

The truth is so refreshing its scary! Glory to Jesus!

[Mathenaut]

I think that the greatest irony in this is that Turek forwards the case for Moral Relativity (or non-cognitivism) in an appeal to forward his own brand of christian morality.

[Purushadasa]

Even if we accept that all religions prior to Christianity had some kind of exposition of God sacrificing his life and rising again (which is not the case -- this is purely hypothetical), that would still fail to disprove the validity of Christianity. At most, that would only mean that God desired to preview his plan for mankind regarding Christ's sacrifice.

However, those stories about the older religions were all just made up by the atheist anyway, and there is no evidence to back them up.

@Legendskilled

Google "The greatest story ever garbled" and you can find an article, by that name, from Skeptic magazine. The article debunks basically all that sort of nonsense.

Legendskilled you should read 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to be An Atheist' by Frank Turek and Norman Geisler and 'The Case for the Real Jesus' by Lee Stobel.

The way it actually happened was that mythic religions borrowed from Christianity and copied from it to include in their writings in 200 A.D. and later... so it's a hoax.. these religions existed prior to Christ but no idea of dying and rising gods ever existed in their writings until well after Christ.

Hi, I'm a Christian with strong faith in my religion but recently a friend of mine argued that Jesus's story was somehow influenced by an ancient Egyptian god called Horus. If there is a study that debunks this connection then I would be interested in it
