[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um. Is that why it's called the New Testament? And the Old Testament?
And eckchewally, Jews read Torah, not the whole Old Testament.

Question: why are atheists posting on DCUM mostly aggrieved about Jesus and Jesus believers? Why not address Jews directly too? [/quote]

I hear this complaint a lot, and it is pathetic because the complainers certainly know these things to be true:

1. Atheists don't believe in all religions equally.  There are no degrees of not believing.  Therefore there is no particular prejudice against your myth than any other.
2. Christianity is the most popular religion in the USA, therefore it would be sensible that most discussion of religion in the USA, for or against, would be about christianity.  It's not that they hate your myth more.  It's simple math.

Again, complainers know those things.[/quote]

Well, I didn't know the posts were just a numbers game. Most religions in the US have "god" so I thought "god" would be the focus, not splitting hairs about is the bible taken literally, etc.

Honestly I wondered if Jews weren't mentioned or included in the "god crowd" for fear of seeming antisemitic.

God is the focus. God and is plan in the old testament to God and his plan in the new testament. Both God's have different rules and goals of their own. I didnt include the Muslim God or perhaps the Mormon God because I dont know those religions as well but this argument could be extended to them too. If they all say they are related why does God have different goals, rules, and people he cares for? Why would God be inconsistent? My assumption is that these are man made religions and man makes God in his image and needs of the time and this is why they are different, but it is rarely discussed why these religions pretend they are related through this one true God when to me they are just related because they are propping up the importance of their newer religion on top of an older religion with bad logical relational justification just to act like their religion has more substance and isnt as fringe.
