HORUS Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Jesus' coming was also predicted for thousands of years before he came. :/ Or the writers of the New Testament read the Old Testament and made up a guy who fit the requirements.[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womi Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 You can't seriously treat the bible as an important document. You don't know what the Vaticane or whoever has hidden in his cellars. Secret stuff nobody knows about. I mean, you can make up an endless amount of proofless theories and mine is just one of them. But what if the bible is just a part of something much bigger? What if the bible isn't THE book of Christianity? May sound a bit...strange if I say it like this, but what proves us that the bible speaks "the truh and nothing but the truth"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 This is one of the reasons I quite despise religion myself' date=' I simply haven't brought it up. Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (and Sam Harris as well, I believe) wrote on the topic of how religion controls (or, as Hitchens puts it, poisons) everything. Everything from people and the choices they make to the laws we have about marriage. It's a cult run by fear-mongering idiots. They give you an option - heaven or hell - and tell you heaven is the greatest place ever and hell is the worst place ever, and if you're weak-minded enough, you'll fall for it and believe what they say so you can get out of going to hell. If you're a strong-minded rational person, you'll say, "That's bullshit," and live your life without the bother of heaven and hell hanging over your shoulder. If you're a strong-minded, rational, critical thinking, and concerned person, you'll say, "We need to stop this."[hr']Also' date=' if you look around, Christianity stole many elements from other religions.[/quote'] Not really, bro. ;/ Christianity is one of the oldest religions. Plus, I hardly anything in there that really relates to a different religion. Just saying. Yes, it really did. Take, for example, the Egyptian god Horus. According to scripture, Horus: > was born December 25th> died and was resurrected after 3 days> healed a blind man> was mentored by a man whose name translates to "John", who was beheaded A few other early middle-eastern and eastern religions feature gods or demigods with similarities that are similar to Jesus, and these gods were around at least 2000 years before Jesus' alleged birth.
