[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 17:34 you know the dubious reference mentioned by the poster is to the cut and paste made from the atheist blog. A later reference was made to a journal article on Zorastriansim but that is not what was referred to. You seem to be trying way to hard to cover up that you tried to pass off as fact something you cut and pasted from a sketchy atheist website without attribution and we're caught redhanded.

I have no problem with your being an atheist but do try to be one with intellectual integrity. What you do is as unscholarly as what those who quote from the Bible to support the existence of Jesus do. Worse actually because you obscure your references while they are forthright about theirs.[/quote]

I have no idea who posted from the "sketchy website," as that wasn't mine.

Any reference to a credible journal article about an ancient religion - one that predates Christianity - is worth reading.  That's the problem with Christians. You stick to the bible and refuse to study it w/in its proper context. Furthermore, you seem to believe that cultures develop in isolation.  This is simply not the case.

When an atheist reads the bible, s/he examines it through a neutral lens. What beliefs were in place to influence the message?  We are all products of our environment.  So to use that bible as the primary source that proves God and Jesus exist is simply ignorant.  These were stories written by people who had little knowledge of science.  Yet you take the bible as the word of some supreme being.

Where's the divine intervention now?  God was all over the Jews at one point and yet has stepped back?

It's all so absurd.
