Even though I think Jesus could be a fraud. The Gospels and the New Testament are written by his disciples.
Actually I made the suggestion that he *might* have been gay...what you don't understand EV is that not all of us have the same reverence for this over-exaggerated human referred to as Jesus, your imaginary deity referred to as God, or that story book referred to as the Bible
Originally posted by Black QueenSorry BlackQueen but I'm an atheist and a skeptic...I don't have faith in your Bible (written by humans), that which is contained within is not consistant with the physical world I live in. Much of the assertions made within are not testable and there is no definitive evidence for such. Without proper justification for these claims outside of religious texts then I have absolutely no reservations about referring to it as a story book

he had mary magdalen though, maybe he was bi, he must have been something, he must have thought about sex at some time, walking round with all those prostitutes; i heard that jesus was married to mary, and they had kids... any one else hear about this...? if this is true, not only was he married, he was hanging around with prpstitutes and having the disciples at the same time, what a guy, no wonder people go crazy about him

Agerg, calling the bible a stroybook is an offence and is meant as one, you may refer to as a work of fiction as this is your belief. You wouldn't call War and Peace a storybook would you!? A storynook is a pointless piece of literature meant for a child. Whereas the bible, true or false is not meat for children and most of it conveys morals that we would benfit from following.
How can you all be so sure he wasn't a fudge-packer? He could do what he liked, he was the son of god. It would be ironic though, because the early christians were fed to lions for critisizing the romans for their anal antics.
Just out of interest, if he was an ass-bandit, would you christians love him less now?
Originally posted by twiceaknightI can be sure of this because he was by definition pure of mind and therfore had no interest in sex. However jesus loves me purely and unconditionaly whatever i am or do, therefore i love him weather he was gay, black, 12ft tall or green.
