Yeah... his message was love each other. Provocative b*****d

As with all religions, Christianity took a real person and created a fiction out of their life to better indoctrinate the masses.

By all accounts, Jesus was simply a preacher preaching love and peace, I'd rather focus on that then the fiction that was written around him to weaponise him.

This is my view, but believe in what you want I guess.

I was going to comment here,but as a Christian I find some of the comments really offensive,so I will pass on this one.

Mohammed was a paedophile allegedly.

We're all free to believe what we want obviously, but I don't understand why some feel the need to mock religion :notimpressed: . Not everyone believes in reincarnation but are you going to walk up to a Buddhist and insult them by saying they're talking "rubbish" ?? :facepalm: I think NOT .

You say that like people are scared of Buddhists or something :laugh: I mean I don't come across many buddhists in everyday life anyway :shrug:

They were actually talking about this subject on the radio earlier and apparently the word "virgin" is a mis-translation, it originally said pretty not virgin?

Grown adults have decided to base their lives on fairy stories written in bronze age Palestine, and you're wondering why people feel the need to mock that?

Most likely explanation is that Joseph himself got Mary pregnant before they were married, which at the time was a major issue, so they were like "No Wtf she is still a virgin honest must have been God".

People are allowed their opinion. I personally find all organised religion to be bull**** because it's all written by man at the end of the day. People are allowed to believe what they want and so am I and I believe that organised religion, at it's core, has always been a weapon of control.

If people's beliefs aren't forced on others and don't hurt anyone else why mock them? I don't like people forcing their beliefs on children but if they believe that Jesus was the Son of God born to a Virgin what's the problem :shrug:

100%

People are allowed to mock others for just about anything, so why should religion get a free pass? People take this stuff way to seriously

there's a fine line tho
Christians get singled out bc they won't sue or blow anybody up for it
don't see as much ridicule of Jews and Muslims, do you?
these three religions share a lot of stuff, you know

Probably because (certainly for me anyway) people grew up with Christianity. I know alot about it, i was indoctrinated in to it so I feel more qualified to speak about that more than others that I have limited knowledge of. But in a general sense I think it's all BS, if that helps you? :hee:

Christians & Catholics always get singled out :rolleyes: .

In real life I heard someone saying she thinks the Bible & Virgin Mary is "rubbish" yet in the same breath contradicted herself by saying she respects Muslims , if that's not a contradiction I don't know what is :crazy: .

If you're an Atheist at least be consistent .

personally I'm not fussed, I can take it (and I'm not religious)
but it does make me feel bad when our Christian members feel unable to post here bc of the abuse, especially now at Christmas

What abuse? no one has abused any members on here. The whole virgin thing should be questioned, I mean like I said, they now think it was probably an error in translation

Like i said reincarnation is unusual and Crystals & healing can also be questioned as well but there's people that believe in those things.

Like you said what? People do question all that ****e aswell :laugh:

Yeah some people do question these things , but more people embrace those things more and it's seen as "cool"

I don't know anyone who doesn't view crystal healing as anything other than bull****.

um not in my experience

**** it, now i will need to think of another christmas gift for you :fist:

but back off Santa :nono:
