The God, and gods that have been presented to me cannot explain the majestic universe or the differences between people sufficiently for me. Why should s/he? If there is a god, why would we all suddenly be entitled to answers? Perhaps because He also gave us an intellect which questions. Though thi...

excellent! if only i lived a bit closer i could go to church with you. :D but since i blasphemed the holy spirit i have only a lost eternity being tortured in hell to look forward to, though he is a merciful god, he is also just, and i only have myself to blame for my lack of faith... ohhh... hang ...

You've lost me. I have no problem with facts. I'm from Canada too by the way. Nice. Where in Canada? Like "most" people, I'm in Toronto. What I meant is that if you were serious about checking facts, that line of research might yield results which would challenge your assertion. What got ...

Doulos continues a strategy of evasion and deceit to conceal the lack of content in his argument. That is why I have found his remarks frustrating. Evasion: I have repeatedly asked him to back up his assertions of definitive early citation of the Gospels. I looked at his sources and found they did ...

oh yes, i had certainty of beliefs, wrong beliefs, damaging beliefs, church dogma unexamined in the light of criticism. i laugh at all that hell tosh now, but it was no laughing matter back in the day. and many are still very much back in that day, though it is more like a night. i see them from ti...

I'm not sure why that would make you a mythicist though, so please explain. The Romans invented Jesus which is why the Jews were unable to be converted. For me Christ is not a man or woman its a state of Mind obtained when one becomes God Realized through Gnosis. Any autodidact will tell you that o...
