You have been called out in this dishonesty several times before.

Wow. Apart from the last two sentences that was actually coherent...
Who are you and what have you done with dasa?
(still think you should be perma banned for some of the stuff you've already said but
apparently that's just me).
And yes you are right.
The JC character was almost certainly a made up fusion of different myths from around
that time.

It seems the different religions all believe they own the absolute truth.They will never agree,in the end it will come down to which faith is the strongest and more able to propagate,bit like theory of evolution, how ironic!!!!!
It means that somewhere out there ...............there is real money.
It is the duty of all truth seekers to honestly seek out true relgion.
Any religion that allows you to harm animals is false.
Knowing this ......you may now eliminate many religion,s from your list of relgion,s that you thought were true and thus making it easier to find true religion.
Also true religion will be that religion that is eternal.
Now you have 2 truism,s that shall help you find true religion.................from the many religions on offer.

Originally posted by RJHindsI have to say, this is the most popular thread Dasa has had to date. Unfortunatly, as with all of his other threads, I did not have the stomach to read any of it.
Yes, that could be true too. There are many who will stop at nothing to discredit Christianity.
Thanks for splaining why this thread has been so popular in a few concise short words. 😵

that real money exists...
However where you go wrong is to assume that because you can apply that reasoning
to money that you can equally apply it to religion.
If I were to make up a religion, and gain a following for that religion (something that I think
pretty much everyone here would agree other people have done in the past) that wouldn't
mean that any other religion was true. That's just a non-sequitur.

You have to decide whether there is a reality's God or not.
That is the decision of your life.

Different religions have different gods they are based around.
When discussing different gods you usually do it in terms of the religion based around them.
And again stop with this "the most important decision in your life is whether to believe in god or not" crap.
That's not the most important decision even if a god does exist.
It certainly not in the massively, unbelievably, beyond all possible reasonable doubt, overwhelmingly more likely
scenario where god doesn't exist.

Originally posted by RJHindsIf all that is true, why didn't Christianity and the whole Jesus affair not happen the first time this myth was told? By your reckoning, Jesus should have come down to Earth on the first telling of that story. Why the wait? Christianity should be 6000 years old.
It will all comes down to the final judgments of God. No human organization can own absolute truth, neither in science or religion. Absolute truth can not be changed by whoever has the most faith or weapons. God determines absolute truth.
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Glory be to God! Holy! Holy! Holy!

Originally posted by RJHindsI am making the point as to why your god waited several thousand years to send JC and the boys. What was so different 2000 years ago compared to 6000 years ago or 4000 years ago? If your god is omniscient it would have foreseen the need for its 'son' to come down to earth way before Jesus allegedly appeared.
You don't make any sense. I think you must have your head up your arse.
It just flies in the face of reason for JC and the boys to have shown up when they did, for instance, not now, when so MANY bad things have been perpetrated on humans, I am talking about the crusades, the pogroms, the slaughter of millions, Hitler, Pol Pot, the totally man made extinction of whole species of animals, the human made coming catastrophe of climate change, etc. We need a Jesus to come down and save our sorry butts NOW a lot more than they did 2000 years ago.
Where is your JC now? I see NOBODY.
Could it be because there was nobody there 2000 years ago either?
I rather think yes.
