[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it Christianity, Judaism, Islam?  Is Jesus the son of god or is Mohammed?  What about Joseph Smith?  Maybe the Mormons have it right.  Is the Bible the true word of God and not the Torah?  Do we get to heaven by belief, actions, or martyrdom.

Does anyone else think this is all ridiculous? I respect people but I don't respect silly ideas no matter how old they may be.  The way I see it you're all arguing over nothing and wasting what precious time we do have.[/quote]

OP isn't askng for the "right answer." OP thinks she knows the right answer. She wants to have a little fun  here, and in particular she wants to trash herself some Christians. This is obvious from her first post, above. Why are we humoring her?[/quote]

Have you heard of Christian humanism?   It's taking the good parts of Christianity - kindness, love, compassion, etc as a basis for living, without the supernatural/mythical elements.  Jews do it too -- in fact they are more organized at this point -- they have humanistic congregations around the country - one in DC.  [/quote]

I agree with you completely about the Christian humanists. OP isn't a Christian humanist, though--she claimed Jesus "never existed" and then she moved on to "ok, well, um, maybe he existed but he wasn't divine, and wanna talk about the Romans forcing people to be Christian, huh, huh?" only after several posters provided links about his existence. OP has her own reasons for thinking this is amusing, but OP's little game seems like a pointless waste of time for anybody besides OP.

Why don't we talk with actual Christian humanists, instead? At least we'd get past "Jesus never existed, nyah, nyah!" Maybe we could get into some points on what Jesus actually said. I'm all for looking into the historical, pre-350AD Jesus. I just think we're all wasting our time on OP's childish games.[/quote]

It's you, not OP who used the childish "Jesus never existed, nyah, nyah" - [b]perhaps reflecting your reaction to disturbing i[/b]nfo about evidence for Jesus claims of his divinity. There are scholars in the Jesus seminar who have been working for years to flesh out the human Jesus from the mythical, divine one.  Even so, the modern question becomes what to do about Christian belief with a non-supernatural Jesus.   Why worship such a person? or any person?  [/quote]

It's the "I've disturbed you, haven't I? Huh, huh?" poster. Such a sad and needy individual....[/quote]
