Jesus Christ does not stand for lies. The virgin birth was most likely something people started claiming way after it happened. People have lied and done horrible things in the NAME of Jesus Christ...but a quick historical look at the man and I see know reason why anyone would ever hate him
After extensive historical research, I'm certain Jesus never existed, but was rather a compilation of local myths. Whatev.
And you've decided this without asking questions regarding it, and knowing little to nothing about me. Clearly the most objective stance. However, if you're not interested, educating you doesn't interest me.
The problem is christians get wrapped up in literal translations. Buddha was said to have climbed out of his mother's side, able to walk and talk just like an adult. Nobody believes that though, it's just a mythological acknowledgement of the actual transcendence he would achieve later in life. Jesus is one of my heroes, however. He flipped over the tables of the moneychangers, and that took balls. Let's see you do something so bold.
Somehow I feel like I'm being quoted... P.S. I'm an atheist, but I've yet to make a religion out of it.
We atheists don't really organize enough for a church. We try to act like we know it all to compensate.
To the guy who started this... Don't bring up debatable, touchy, and offensive topics in a forum such as this one. Saying something like this about someone elses religion is like someone telling you they fucked the shit out of your mother in your bed then killed her and buried her. I'm sure your mother is a whore
I'm actually uninterested whether I'm right or wrong on a subject as abstract as the existence of God. But, yeah, atheist know-it-alls are a bit of a pain. Actually, know-it-alls of any denomination... lol.
