How do people believe Jesus was real?

Lots of people are just desperate to BELIEVE anything as long as it's the very stupidest thing imaginable. If anything made any sense, they aren't interested. It has to be completely crazy and outlandish.

Maybe this PROVES their loyalty to Gawd or something as they have to try real hard to BELIEVE.

And of course - who cares, right? Except it's these same people who would burn you at the stake if it was legal to do so because you don't BELIEVE along with them.

My grandma gave me a present for Christmas.

You know who else supposedly gives presents? Santa.

My grandma called someone on the telephone last week.

You know who else calls people? Charlie Brown.

Therefore my grandma isn't real.

That's your logic right there.

Just because certain mythological entities do the same things as someone doesn't make the person fake.

They are common things that are not hard to think up.

A virgin birth? How hard do you think that is to think up?

Not very hard. But just because people thought of it before God did it doesn't mean God didn't do it.

The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realisation, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!

The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!

Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.

The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!

There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?

Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!

Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!

At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!

Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?

Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!

Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!

Josephus AD 37 – AD 100

Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120

Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD

Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD

Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD

Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.

Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD

Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD

Photius AD 877 – 886 AD

Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.

Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!

Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.

The prophecies of Jesus started with Abraham when he was asked by God to sacrifice his son. All the other religions were just trying to copy the real thing. Jesus is real. He didn't come to change things here on earth. He came to offer eternal life for those that woul accept it.

We have no proof he was real.

But neither do we have proof that he wasn't real.

Belief and dis-belief are merely opposite ends of the same error.

Those who believe overestimate, and those who do not belief underestimate.

The plain fact is that when there is no proof and no dis-proof, it is not logical to try to decide what you believe.

How do people believe Allah is real? It's called indoctrination and brainwashing.

LMFAO at Anonymous.There are about 1.6 billion people that believe Allah is the true God...... NOW WHAT?

You're a real Nimrod.

Stop taking about Jesus Num nuts

Jesus is real he is going to get mad at you

and why do you preach about Jesus Christ

you know nothing about JEsus

sometimes he is in white sometimes he

has something over his shoulder L shoulder

down to Right hip.

and you know nothing about him stop talking about Jesus

oh my God.

So you're saying that Jesus is made up because there are similarities between his story and earlier ones? Let's see how well that works.

John F Kennedy was a mythical figure based on Abraham Lincoln. Check out everything the JFK myth borrowed from Lincoln: 

1. Both Lincoln and Kennedy were elected to Congress in '46 (1846 in Lincoln's case, 1946 in Kennedy's). Both became President in '60. 

2. Both had lazy eye muscles which would cause one eye to wander. 

3. Both had been skippers on boats (Lincoln on the Mississippi river boat 'Talisman' and Kennedy on the PT-109) 

4. Both were the second sons in their families. Each lost a sister to death before becoming President. Both married 24-year-old brunettes who had been previously engaged to other men, and who spoke French fluently. 

5. Both had a child die while living in the White House. 

6. Both were related to U.S. Senators, U.S. Attorney Generals who graduated from Harvard, and ambassadors to the Court of St. James. 

7. Both were acquaintances of a man named Adlai E. Stevenson who ran for either Vice-President or President, a doctor named Charles Taft and a man named William Graham. 

8. Both were advised not to go to the place where they died. 

9. Both Lincoln's theater box and Kennedy's car were altered for their benefit (Lincoln's theater box had a partition removed to accomodate his party, Kennedy's car had a raised rear seat) 

10. Both were slain on a Friday before a major Holiday (Lincoln on the Friday before Easter, Kennedy on the Friday before Thanksgiving). Both were shot while sitting next to their wives and in the presence of another couple. Of the other couple, the man was also wounded by the assassin, but neither wife was wounded. 

11. Both were shot from behind and in the head. Both of their wives cradled their husband's heads after they were shot. 

12. John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln from inside a theater, and fled to a warehouse. Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy from inside a warehouse and fled to a theater. 

13. Lincoln was shot while inside the Ford theater, in box 7. Kennedy was shot while inside a Ford automobile, in car 7 in the motorcade. 

14. Both were pronounced dead in places with the initials P.H. (Lincoln in the Peterson House, and Kennedy in Parkland Hospital) 

15. Both of their assassins escaped, and were killed before going to trial. 

16. Both of their assassins were privates in the military. Each was detained after the shooting by a policeman named Baker. Both were eventually killed by a Colt revolver. 

17. Both Lincoln and Kennedy were succeeded by southern ex-senators named Johnson who were born in '08. Both Johnsons were in their mid-fifties when they took the office and both suffered from urethral stones (the only presidents to have them). Both Johnsons could have run for re-election in '68, but chose not to.
