Christians believe God loves everyone.

With comments like yours, could you blame them?

Christianity should really be called "Paulism" because Paul is largely responsible for most of it. And most of the crap people follow is the word of Paul and not from the four Gospels.

At any rate, Jesus was a Jew, and never claimed to be anything else.

Many believe his "son of god" claims have been perverted and that he meant we are all the children of god. Many age of enlightenment scholars, including many of our Founding Fathers believed that all of Paul, and the claims of divinity were corruptions of the Gospels.

"Of this band of dupes and impostors, Paul was the great Corypheus, and first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus"
--Thomas Jefferson

Very interesting... any good sites where i can read up a bit more on this?

Check out Jefferson's Bible.

People say that a lot, but I've never known a Jew who called himself the son of God... I do believe that would be considered blasphemy in Judaism.

Jesus who?
and are you sure you are talking about a guy named "jesus" and didn't misinterpret someone saying "Hey Zeus" to a guy named Zeus?

I don't believe that Joe Lieberman ever claimed to be Christian. I'd bet he's not the only Jewish elected official in all of America.

Which is exactly what they crucified him for.

I'm pretty sure *THEY* () crucified Jesus because there was a bit of civil unrest. *THEY* didn't care either way about Jesus.

LOL. I think I deserved that. As it is, *THEY* in this usage is clearly defined as the Sanhedrin iin Matthew 26:57-67, and the capital crime they charged Jesus with was blasphemy.

No, that is not the way it happened.

Clearly. You were there. So how did it happen?

Let's suppose that all of the documents written about Jesus are wrong and that you are correct.

That would mean that one day Jesus said to himself, "I'm tired of being a carpenter, I think I'll start a new religion!"

He then spent the next three years living the life of a man of poor wealth walking from city to city, being ridiculed and laughed at.

Then, knowing the Jews wanted to kill him, he dediced to walk into their main city fully aware that doing so would lead to him being beaten, spit on, and crucified.

Yeah, sounds like a fun time.

Wouldn't be the first or last person to do so.

Who are some of the others? Names? Links to stories/documents about them?

David Koresh
Suicide Bombers
Heavens Gate
dozens of other Cults

None of them went through the exact same things, but they all gave up their lives for their beliefs, faced ridicule, abandoned careers, etc.

/me waits for someone to post it!

 

[Orsorum]

Judging by the behavior of most modern Christians, I'd say Jesus was a better person than that.

That was a lot of work. I figured he would cling deperately to his ignorance, so I didn't bother.

If Christians had acted properly in the first place, Paul wouldn't have had to keep writing those fvcking letters telling them to wise the hell up.

Perhaps try reading the Bible so you don't sound so ignorant.
