I hate it when people compare christianity and greek mythology.

Obvious troll is obvious, there is no use getting worked up about it or even trying to apply logic here.

People find "supposebly" similarities between a dead religion and an active one. Then wanna automatically claim that that religion is false just because it has similarities off a false religion. And yes, I'm calling greek mythology a false religion. Sorry to all you "PERCY JACKSON" fans.3DSOG

Um.....The Greek religion isn't dead, there are still alot of followers to it (3000people and growingin Greece alone). Many families managed to worship in secret over the century's. its the same thing with Roman Polytheists, Asatru (Norse gods, growing very fast in denmark). Its very hard to kill a religon. And going around sayingother peoples religion is a real **** move.

Religion is dying, live with it. Soon in the future it be obsolete and laughable.bobaban

I really hate it when people call my belief in Zeus "mythology". Zeus is real god-damn it! He even wrote a book about how he was real just to make you believe in him!!! :( Mr_Splosher

I don't see that comparison made that much.

[QUOTE="ayanami_rei"][QUOTE="3DSOG"] Theres also no proof that George washington existed. There are only paintings of him: Like jesus There are stories of him: Like jesus People recognize his existance as truth: Like jesus There are no photographs of him "Like jesus"3DSOG

Well it's what you've been doing to everyone in this thread...

This is the best thread ever. :lol:

"Have any of you actually seen or talked to George Washington? Yeah, I didn't think so. OPEN YOUR EYES, HE'S MADE UP. AND ACCEPT JESUS!"

[QUOTE="JinjonatorX"][QUOTE="3DSOG"] How is it NOT logical? They DONT have dna testing they DONT have blood samples of Washington's relatives NO PHOTOS NO DNA JUST A CORPSE AND SOME PAINTINGS. those all could easily be faked. Grab a random guy's body. Draw a picture of the supposably "George washington" Fake some stories and you got yourself a war hero3DSOG

I laughed :lol:

Ah, brings back memories of my arguments on here when I was 12 :)

[QUOTE="alexside1"][QUOTE="bobaban"]Religion is dying, live with it. Soon in the future it be obsolete and laughable.InEMplease

You're both wrong. As long as people have faith in a higher power (meaining as long as we don't fully explore the workings of the universe and our existence leading to our discovery of an existence with or without such a divine being...which will be practically never) religion will exist in some form.

And PC pwns console ass.

Why can't a myth be a way out of the darkness?

Wait, what similarities does Harry Potter have with Lord of the Rings?PannicAtack

:lol: This thread delivers. Thank you TC.

I don't believe in Greek Mythology either TC, and I do strongly believe in God and in His son Jesus Christ.

I love this one - "So if you believe in God, then you must believe Santa Clause exists as well." As was told to me by one ignorant Atheist I met before. I was too busy laughing at the comment and took me awhile to get my composure to be able to reply to him.

Sorry just to recap George Washington, Jesus and Zeus are all made up?

And I hate it when they call christian history "christian mythology" It isn't mythology people. Do we call the revolutionary war "american mythology" no we don't. There is nothing SIMILAR about christianity and greek mythology. Maybe 1 or 2 things but that really doesn't explain anything. J.k rowling's book is similar to Lord of the rings. Does that mean it directly copies it? The point im making is. People find "supposebly" similarities between a dead religion and an active one. Then wanna automatically claim that that religion is false just because it has similarities off a false religion. And yes, I'm calling greek mythology a false religion. Sorry to all you "PERCY JACKSON" fans.3DSOG

I agree with you, Greek Mythology is way more interesting than Christian Mythology. Zeus, Ares, and Hades. Now those were people worth calling god.

Just eltist athiest like to do it.

[QUOTE="3DSOG"] Theres also no proof that George washington existed. There are only paintings of him: Like jesus There are stories of him: Like jesus People recognize his existance as truth: Like jesus There are no photographs of him "Like jesus"3DSOG

the painting of Washington were made in the same time when he was alive, whereas the earliest Jesus paintings are from the middle ages

there are government documents signed by George Washington... are you seriously implying that Washington didnt exist?

successful troll is successful

Just eltist athiest like to do it.

I compared George Washington's skull to a T-Rex skull and concluded that TC is right. George Washington was in fact a young dinosaur.

Christian mythology is just a term used to describe Biblical myths and legends. I don't see how the word in any way implies an equivalency between Christianity and Greek or Nordic beliefs.

We don't call the American revolutionary war a myth because we know, factually, that it happened.

To be fair, we don't exactly have a lot of evidence about anything that's happened 2000 years ago.

I agree with you, Greek Mythology is way more interesting than Christian Mythology. Zeus, Ares, and Hades. Now those were people worth calling god.

Actually, it IS mythology, by the word's very definition. As in: a supernatural series of fables that account for historical and or scientific events rather than texts grounded in the (naturalistic) reality we know of today.
