Haven't you noticed? Crushmaster NEVER loses. Ever. His logic is infallable-- he's got the Bible on his side.

The one who claims victory due to someone having to go feels they have lost and needs reassurance from somewhere. :P

Why do Christians get so offended when you talk about "their" deity? The Jews almost never take offense to what I say about the Old Testament, and in fact I get some points from them.

The Christians didn't start the book, so how can they get offended when the people representing the original book tell them they're misunderstanding?

That was deep, I sort of understand what you are saying, but I do not know an answer to the poll.

What about the LGBT people? :(

Most of Jesus "unique" qualities were stolen from Horus. Christianity is not unique whatsoever. Jesus is not the only god reported to have been born of a virgin, he is not the only god to have allegedly performed miracles, he's not the only god to have allegedly walked on water. Hell, even the trinity is not unique-- they stole that from Hinduism. :lol:

Hello. If your would like some information on that debunked claim, that goes deeper into the truth that just a YouTube video such as Zeitgeist, it can be found in the following links.

The reality is that anyone can make claims like that but backing those claims up with sound historical evidence, not so much.

I think south park might sum it up best.

Jesus: "here is a pitcher of water. Now just.... turn around......"

"huh?"

"just turn around...."

*switches pitcher of water with pitcher of wine*

"that trick sucks"

Jesus:"Oh, I guess it worked better on people 2000 years ago"

Considering the religions based on works today such as Star Trek or Scientology, the lack of travel and scientific background making folks 2000 years ago very gullible, as well as the tendency of humans to exaggerate stories, times that by several translations and its highly likely Jesus is overrated. Especially when you consider everyone worked crappy lives as farmers or peasents back then and being told not doing things they probably can't do anyways gets them eternal Paradise makes him extremely likable. Just look at all the crap about Chuck Norris.

Right. However, Horus too is just another diety/'son of god'in the line of them that obtains his attributes from the Sun. Theapostles around Horus, Jesus and the various other dietiesare non other than the twelve constellations and the events that took place in the life of these messiahs are all attributed to the movements of the cosmos that were seen back then. So IMO, it is safe to say that most, if not all religions stemmed from the worship of the stars and the heavens

I was beginning to wonder if there would ever be another CM thread, there hasn't been one in months and months. Maybe GS has put a limit on how many they can do? Anyhow, it's about time, OT is in bad need of comic relief and it admittedly isn't quite the same without the literalists doing their rounds like they used to.

We just need Gabu, Pianist, and where's Lans? Let's get this party truly started!

Is it just a coincidence that many Christians have found Jesus floating in the dregs of a bottle of cheap wine, or staring up at them from a used coke mirror?

Yea I read through those a while ago, though much good they do in the manner they are currently enforced. I'd think it'd be all or nothing.

TC can you answer me this question: Why are there multiple religiouns teaching different things? Follow with me here, if there is a true God I can only assume that he would want the people to follow one religioun that is true by him. So why do we have 3 major religiouns? Christianity, Islam and Jewdism. To appeal to masses?Maqda7

But he's asking why there's different religions at all, if there is only one God. Each has their own prophet; Jesus, Muhammed and Moses, respectively, but each teaches a different way of life. Just look at how each denies the consumption of at least one type of meat.AirGuitarist87

Oh well I am just giving you the answer an evangelist would give and that answer is just a defense of the principle of free will which they need to defend sternly since other things they believe in invalidate it completely.

And I am not saying it isnt important. Just pointing out that its contradictory for evangelicals to defend free will considering some other dogmas they have conjured up from their interpretation of the Bible.

Well thats what I usually hear from them when someone asks why didnt God make sure that His religion was the only one on earth or the most predominasnt one; in short to the question: why didnt God make sure most (if not all) people would come in touch with his right teachings?
