well, this may or may not have already have been posted because I just couldnt get through all 24 pages of this topic, but this is my 2 cents for today.
TOPIC: jesus
Do you believe/know that jesus EXISTED?
there is plenty of evidence that jesus at least EXISTED.
one example:
the romans actually kept records of the crucifixion and thats how we know jesus was crucified on a friday
there are many 3rd party (non religious) scholars/commentators/historians/whatever that say Jesus existed and record things that he did.
What moron thinks he diddnt exist?
ok, so I'm pretty sure that I've established that.
Do you think he was at least a GOOD person?
Many relligions think he was great, not just the ones that believe him.
me, personally, yes.
fine
Jesus went around saying that he was the son of God and that he was the king of the Jews.
Perhaps 'son of God' ment being faithful and good person, not to be taken literaly, like he was a prophet.
so was he:
1. a liar?
2. insane?
or 3. telling the truth and that he was actually God?
Not many people claim to be God. But there were a few:
-hitler
never claimed to be god
-a bunch of other dictators/monarchs/whatever for that matter
a few, moastly anchient ones
-alexander the great
true
-insane people
at least they know what they want to do with there lives.
-constantine the roman emperor
lier, you lied
of course there were more, but out of all the people claiming to be god out there, how many do you think were "GOOD" people that saved lives or sat down and cared for people?
I dont know about you but for me: not many
I know a god, he lives in Minnasota
think what you want, but this is one of the reasons that I believe and at the VERY LEAST that there is a god up there and there are supernatural powers/phenomena that science cant explain.
for the science people:
-what happened before the big bang? what was THERE before the big bang?
-99% of ghost/demonic/UFO/supernatural activity is explainable by science but WHAT ABOUT that other 1%? can you explain those kinds of cases?
errelevent to the topic.
-evolution: lets take this little animal called the giraffe. According to evolution, the giraffe shouldve evolved from another short necked animal. fine. but since evolution is a gradual process, his neck should have gradually have gotten longer over generations. By evolution there should be a short, medium. and long necked giraffe, but why is there JUST A giraffe? (a weird angle I know, but it makes sense)
they evolved duh!
I believe that science and religion in the end wont come into conflict. The bible shouldnt be taken literally, but science cant explain EVERYTHING. I think those two can co-exist.
