[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true, the death and resurrection of Jesus is so similar to other myths because of its ties to the winter solstice, when the sun is at the lowest point (dies) and rises again visibly 3 days later.

That's right, Jesus's story has roots in pagan sun worshiping.

*sound of religion collapsing under thw weight of your mighty arguments*

Yawn.[/quote]

People can and will do anything to hold on to something they've devoted a lot of time and effort to. I can appreciate there. Religion is comforting, especially to a weak mind. [/quote]

Why do people refuse to recognize the obvious. Heck the fact that religion is comforting, especially to a weak mind is the reason we have this long thread in the first place - someone wanted help for a little girl who is having an existential crisis that her immature and weak mind is ill equipped to deal with. What's the recommendation? Religion!

Good observation -- plus "weak"  needn't be a pejorative -- it describes a condition that can change.  Religious people believe that humans are by definition weak and need God to  give us strength.  They think a good dose of religion is the only thing that could strengthen the mind of the little girl.  It's because they want the best for her and her eternal soul, which they are sure she has, to learn all about god and not to learn about the other ways to understand the world.  Such information could be dangerous.  It has had the effect of turning people away from God.   She may go that way in the future, once she is no longer controlled by her mother, but as long as she is still young and impressionable, there's a chance to convince her that belief in God is the only way to relieve her anxiety.[/quote]
