more of a Hindu bashing thread. |
Hardly abusing. If the boss is observant, allows and respects non-Jewish holidays, believes everyone has a right to their own religious holidays telling staff to avoid booking a big meeting during High Holidays is good career advice. Plus I have staff making 200k-250k a year they can listen to a story or two. I love their stories. My favorite is Jain Thanksgiving story from one staff first year in county. Good stuff. You have to enjoy wild misconceptions about religion. Like the poster who thinks Catholics are canibals |
The only evidence of a census is the New Testament itself. There is no other record of the census claimed, which I have read (sorry, cannot cite) is not likely to have occurred when and in the manner it did because it would conflict with standard Roman practice. Show me the census entry or. better yet, the certificate of live birth. |
No it isn't. Good Friday is calculated based on Easter, which is a different date every year, based on astronomy. It's the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/determining-easter-date.html Good Friday is two days before that, to allow for Jesus to be dead for parts of three days (Friday afternoon, all day Saturday and Sunday at dawn) before rising from the dead on Easter Sunday. |
| What's incredible is how much of their own religion people don't know. They should start there. |
"religious mentor" sounds creepy. There is btw a belief dating back to the late 1800s that Jesus travelled to India and lived out his days, eventually dying in Kashmir. And Mormons believe those golden tablets were also real. |
Sounds like you've been reading the Bible or listening to your minister, but not looking at academic sources. There is no documentation of a census or a crucifixion with many people attending. These are stories in the Bible - not documented fact. Check Wikipedia for info on the census mentioned in the Bible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Census_of_Quirinius |
Catholic don't think of themselves as cannibals but they do believe they are eating the body and blood of Jesus in the host (little wafer) that's been blessed by the priest. The technical term is transubstantiation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transubstantiation |
Do you get all your information from collaborative, anonymous sources from openly editable websites? I guess DCUM is about the same. |
So let me get this straight. I'm supposed to believe that Jesus was actually a historical figure, but transubstantiation does not mean that Catholics think the host and wine are literally the body of christ? I grew up extremely Catholic and am now very confused. Which leads me to believe that you are suffering a bit from Dunning-Kreuger. How about spend a little more time learning about Hinduism, and less time criticizing people of other faiths for not knowing about your faith? |
| Lol!! |
millennia actually. And the fact that christianity wasn't even really conceived of until a few centuries later proves how ridic it all is. |

OP - actual story. I was taking to a Muslim who recently I migrated to America. Younger so came here after 9/11. My uncle died in 9/11. My sister almost died. Anyhow he asked me during the happy hour what is my uncle up to? I go what he is dead. He tells me he leaned in school no one died in 9-11 the US Govt made it up. All 3,000 people were undercover Govt employees and no one died. It was an excuse to start war on Islam. Ok it was a lot of beers. I go to computer when I sober up an tons of websites claiming this. My favorite WTC was a hologram. I had dinner once at Windows on The World on the 1990s. That hologram food was good
Anyhow some folks believe a 2001 event never took place |
If you write like a drunk, a troll or a mentally unstable person, you are not credible. |

There’s no reliable evidence of Jesus’s existence so they’re not wrong.
