[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Jesus is not the first story of the son of a god, born on Dec 25th, of a virgin, and resurrected in the spring. Understanding these aspects of religious history, how is it possible to truly believe one story and not another?  Do those of you who believe have any knowledge of religious history or do you prefer to blind yourself to these realities?[/quote]

What story are you referring to?[/quote]

This particular example is of Horus. There are many examples of religion taking on aspects of older belief structures, the stories make the transition easier. Look up the history behind caroling, that's some crazy shit! [/quote]

I don't see anything in the examples you cite that would negate belief in God or of Jesus.  Christians do not dispute that the religion - the rituals, calendar, etc - are man made and as the PP stated we are aware of the history and that the Christian calendar draws on paganism and other ancient traditions.  None of this has anything to do with the life and gospel of Jesus or with theology.  [/quote]
