    How many here have had actual contact with a god or YOUR god?

    All you have is ancient mythology with no link to reality.

    Pilate or big Al, supernatural? JC supernatural? Don't think so. I think he was a great salesman. 'Trust me, I am the son of god'. Sure, it fooled a lot of people but that is just an indication of the state of the intelligence of the human race. Look at David Koresh. HE thought he was divine or some such.

    no my friend your assertion was and I quote, 'all you have is ancient mythology with no link to reality', therefore we shall ask you once again, was Jesus real? was Solomon real? what about King David, were he real?

    We dont, we believe that he was a divine being, the only entity directly created by God, hence the term, 'only begotten son'. All other things having been created through him.

    Perhaps you will explain the difference between procreating and begetting?

    They may have been real, they could also have been just made up, all of them. You have to have more evidence than just the bible, archaeological evidence as well.

    Hmmm, Alexander the Great is also claimed historically to have been born of a virgin.

    However, Alexander the Great failed to rise from the dead to prove anything. He stayed dead to prove he was just another man. No claim is made of him ascending to heaven. However, Jesus even took a picture of His resurrection, the Shroud of Turin, to prove He was crucified and rose from the dead. The tomb is still empty and His bones are nowhere to be found.

    Why did you suddenly change the word Suzianne used ~ "created"/"creating" ~ to "procreated"/"procreating"? Presumably you did it on purpose? Mentioning two words that are not exact synonyms, she said "Created or begotten? Make up your mind." And then you changed one of the words to a synonym of "begetting" in your reply, asking for the difference between the two synonyms "procreating and begetting". Why?

    You can believe that the rest of your life but it won't make the myth come true.

    If JC was a god, it seems to me it could have made a better image than that stupid shroud.
