I cannot speak for "most" non-xians. But there are a whole of of people-billions-who have either never heard of jesus or don't believe in the myth. Isn't it odd that the one true son of the...

Viper? Bushmaster? Snake in the grass? I'll tell yah, the idea of life on other planets is far more likely and way more plausible, than your imaginary god and the "man who never was".

Shadowwalker , religion doesn't control the radical elements within itself. If it was up to the church, it would expand its control, create a state where church rules are law, and stamp out all dissent. The church wants theocracy. It's the secularists who rebel against Theocracy and force it out of government. Christian and Islamic countries are fully able...

It's your job to prove it's more like the Poincare conjecture - an observable phenomenon without a proof, but eventually gets one, or like Taro cards - an unpromising claim that a bunch of printed paper can tell the...

Contemporary historians would find you to be a lunatic in doing so. Yet this simply is not the case with Tacitus. The only people who assault Tacitus' credibility are the atheists. Without his testimony, the Bible can be set apart as a book of stories by the unbelievers. The...

Hmmm...sounds to me like you don't know. Simple fact is sounds like you don't know. Have you read what he has written? Or are you just taking it on "faith" from some religious apologetics site?

  I agree it is odd too say that a culture is a homogenous mixture of cultures, but it is very much in the vein of the ancient Greeks and Romans, and while both fell, it was still very successful cultures. Surely I’m not the only one that has heard the term ‘melting pot’ to describe the ‘American’ culture. The same term ‘melting pot’ falls into the broader ‘Christian’ concept that we are all one.  ...

Old news, and already accepted by most of the world. As stated before, most everyone believes Jesus to be real.  Only a small minority of Jesus mythers deny that fact.  The real news would be if historians came out and claimed they...
