    But how do you reconcile the issues of the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the story of Vishnu? or Mithra? Or a myriad of other messiahs that pre date Jesus?

    Wouldn't try to. Haven't read enough about it.

    Well I would say that you are ignoring very important information there.

    Didn't say I'd not read anything. Only, the book I'm currently reading "Did Jesus Exist?" By Bart Erhman goes to some length criticising the evidence for many of those comparisons, so I just feel as though I need to read a bit more from both sides before jumping on a bandwagon - (Had you asked me previously, I'd have been all over the Horus/Jesus similarities, but new information should make one cautious, and if necessary, willing to change one's mind)

    Ultimately though, it's largely irrelevant - I'm by no means suggesting that the historical Jesus was magic or divine. I don't think the existence of a Rabbi to which myths and miracles were attributed forces me to give up any of my atheistic ground whatsoever.

    Plus, mapped onto the context of the religious cults we continue to see develop in real time, a charismatic/bat shit crazy leader seems typical.

    The Lord works in mysterious ways. Fox , as it turns out is really a spokeschannel for the almighty Yehwah Allah Jones , as hes known by his full name.

    As the original poster I am saddened by the derailment of this thread.

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense     - Present Tense
