[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's ask this: why does it matter whether or not there is archeological evidence?

Do the moral teachings to love one another not stand anyway? After all, when you boil it all down, that is what Jesus taught us.[/quote]

It matters because Christians try to claim they're the only ones who ever thought of what is basically the "golden rule".  However, nearly every religion and even non-religious thinking have come up with the same idea, including ones that predate Christianity.

Also, you misunderstand the point of what Jesus taught.  It was not love one another, his message was to believe in him as the path to eternal life.  [/quote]

+1 His message of "love one another" is definitely all he taught. And it also matters because aside from the concept of "love one another" (which we decidedly don't need Jesus to teach us, and if you do, then there is something wrong), there are other horrendous and harmful concepts from christianity that are impacting humankind.

Interesting. Can you list some? Are they from/allegedly from things reported as Jesus teachings or from "churches"?

Disclosure: I believe in God, think Jesus of Nazareth existed, think the Christ is present in me and others, but do not believe in most church doctrines. I don't participate in organized religion. [/quote]
