Putting aside the obvious false equivocation between Jesus and the Civil War,We also have the written word of thousands of other religions. Tell me how it is you have arrived at the assumption that the stories about Jesus are fact and all other miraculous claims, made by other religious texts, are false?

I agree with you buddy on the twist and tie

I believe in Jesus as well,saying he didn't exist is like saying the Civil War never happen was I there was you there no yet we believe it did and all we have is the written words and photographs.We have have photographs of Jesus just the written word.

I don't ALWAYS signal my turns,I signal only when necessary. Some cops will pull you over even if there was no one anywhere near you when you changed lanes, know the laws in your state. Left lane cruisers are my biggest pet peeve!!

I'm not trying to "Prove" Jesus never existed, I'm saying I see no reason to believe he did. I will go as far as to say it can't be proven,using the evidence that mainstream apologists offer up.

I will gladly share any knowledge I have gained on the subject these past few years. Before we continue,however, I would like for you to define faith. I can't present reason and logic if I am up against an ever changing, undefinable standard.

I honestly would like to see some of your research. I personally do believe in Jesus. My reasoning is not so much based on evidence of existence, but the only reason I have ever needed. Faith. I am always open to debate, and would like to see what research you have completed to prove otherwise if you don't mind sharing.

I would love to see the evidence as well. I took a neutral stance because I believe the concept of a Deity "just existing" is a lot more likely than an ever expanding singularity "just existing". I do get a kick out of the scientific community ridiculing the religious when the basis of their argument is no more concrete than that of the religious and actually relies on something just existing as does the idea of creationism.

So long as the twisty tie is still around I'm all about keeping it in the mix. If it breaks or goes missing Spin and Tuck it is.

I remember when this was in the forefront a several years ago, part of the "Problem" was all the religious channels started crying that they couldn't survive that kind of competition. That was the only objection I ever heard in regard to the "A La Carte" issue.

3+ years of research and I see no reason to believe Jesus ever existed. I am open to new ideas on the subject.

Any active arguments on Religion?
