Which would be a massive conspiracy, unless you can point to one person who deceived us all.

[ QUOTE ]
So your theory is that Jesus existed and the church founders truly believed he was resurrected three days after his death. Do you believe they were mistaken? If so, how do you explain the 500 people Jesus appeared to at one time? If this didn't happen, then the church founders were lying. What would be their motivation for lying? They didn't gain power or money from it, they died because of it, and unlike the beliefs of radical Islamic terrorists there, would have been no reward waiting for them in heaven. So why do it? [/ QUOTE ] The fact is txag, almost none of this verifiable. Not Jesus appearing. Not the 500 people who claimed to have seen Him do so. Not what the church founders did (or didn't), believe. It's not even 100% verifiable that Jesus existed at all! Although I do think most historians tend to agree that there was a man named Jesus around this time. You are putting the cart before the horse left and right. You're presupposing one thing in order to lay claim on a subsequent proposition. You can't do that! Well, maybe YOU can... It's just not the way the vast majority of logical people would go about it. |

You're avoiding the question. Explain why over ONE BILLION people believe in Islam. According to you: [ QUOTE ] ...to pronounce the Bible false one must believe a MASSIVE amount of 'cooperation' over centuries took place. An amount FAR IN EXCESS of any other fudging of data known to man. [/ QUOTE ] Which is the case for Muslims? |

Islam was founded by one man who gained power and wealth because of it.

Islam was founded by one man who gained power and wealth because of it. [/ QUOTE ] So Buddhism is a mirror effect of Islam? What does that make Christianity? A misfired incorrect to keep those two mirror religions in balance? |

You still haven't offered an explanation for the Sai Baba. [/ QUOTE ] What are you saying? That Sai Baba isn't divine? I've personally received holy ashes that he materialized for me from nowhere . For txag...I don't know much about the churches view of Sai Baba; does the bible provide any explanation for the miracles he performs? om sai om sai om sai |

ONE person claims in a letter to someone in another country that he knows of an event where Jesus appeared to 500 people. No information is given about how to find them, and as far as I know, no other account of this event exists. Yet this is repeatedly brought out as an example of "look, you can ask them yourself". How the hell is someone in Greece supposed to find these unknown people who live in some unknown town/city in some unknown country? |
