I just got back from my "religion class" recently, where my teacher blatantly lied and said that there is more proof of Jesus Christ, than of George Washington. But why? Isn't that just fucking retarded?

Well, religion is faith. Not facts.

They have nothing to lose. Followers of that religion will follow it regardless of what ridiculous claims their teachers make, and if these teachers only limited themselves to saying truthful, reasonable things, they wouldn't have anything to say. So basically they just throw crazy remarks out there in the hope that someone will take an interest.

My English teacher once explained religion in a way I like.

He said that like anything else, religion is a product, and whether the pastors/ priest/ whatever, know it or not, they are selling religion, which is why they target young, impressionable teens

Agreed. It's cool to be religious and all, but I would never talk about it here. Too much flaming and stuff.

While what you're teacher said might not necessarily be a lie, even if it may not seem to make much sense, most people do not realize the ignorance in what they say. It is the nature of ignorance itself.

Personally, I think of them as facts, but the majority of users on this site will not. They will just call them parables or stories.

Oh really? There's different religious books of "facts" that say differently. The torah, the qu'ran, the Bagvadhgita, etc.

Where in America are you? The only states I know that would allow such stupidity are Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee.

If it's a private school, then you're screwed, regardless what state you live in.

Some of you may have heard this already but oh well:

Is God willing to prevent evil but not able?
Then his in not omnipotent

Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent

Is he both willing and able?
Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able, nor willing?
Then why call him God

-Epicurus

Why do people deny Jesus was real... He WAS real, and there IS more proof of him than of George Washington, however, there is no proof that Jesus was God or God's son or a messiah, or whatever.

They do it to get their way. Of course Christianity is breaking it's own rules like the idiots they are, too.

Not really. There are no artifacts or anything like that which came from Jesus. All claims about Jesus were written well after his alleged death and derived from hearsay anyway. He may as well have never existed.
