Originally posted by 667joeall people always jump to conclusions not just religious people. its reasoning does. and after seeing you open countless threads where you bash religious people, often with the help of stereotypes, without trying to listen to the other side and quite often without caring to stick around to see where the discussion is going, it is my reasoning that you have issues.
Why do people of faith always jump to conclusions?
maybe a religious kid stole your candy once. maybe the jehova's witnesses crp on your lawn when you rudely tell them they are fools for believing when so clearly you have all the answers. i don't know exactly what issues you have. but seriously, in best case scenario you will go through life a bitter deluded fool. in worst case scenario you will start killing and eating theist people.
i claim these without the help of jesus. in fact he repeatedly told me to be nice and not post this. but i told him to go watch his cartoons and leave me alone this time. you need to hear this.

I hope to plant the seeds of doubt in believers although, because believers tend to be irrational, this is not easy. If you can prove god exists in an experiment that can be reproduced, I will change my views.

Originally posted by 667joeseeds of doubt with inane quotations from third parties, ohhhhh tremble tremble! the fact of the matter is, as Mohandas Gandhi stated, the worlds problems would be solved if Christ's teachings were observed, not you, nor anyone else, atheist or theist has produced anything remotely superlative. Read it and weep for no amount of petty squabbling can negate this fact.

Originally posted by 667joeTurn up the tone please, scepticism is one thing, ignorance quite another. Please tell the forum on what grounds you make the claim that Christ never existed, for it reeks of the usual erroneous assertions and is by all accounts, quite banal. In fact, rather than sow seeds of doubt Joe what you inadvertently do is in fact strengthen a Christians faith, considering how little credibility these assertions actually have.
The world's problems would be solved if everyone followed the golden rule which predates Christ. Christ may actually never existed.
Originally posted by 667joeNo Joe you are not escaping, we are not talking of the virgin birth, we are talking of his existence, please do not try to slither away. You have made the assertion that Christ did not exist, i want to know on what basis you made the assertion? If you please. If you cannot nor will not, please retract the statement and admit that even if you do not accept the teachings he was a historical person.
Prove Christ was born of a Virgin and that he was resurrected.
Then we will talk.

Originally posted by 667joeno , i have no need to do anything as i have no doubt that he existed and have references which allude to his existence including archaeological evidence, if you cannot state it plainly from your own mind then it really shows the shallow nature of the nefarious assertion. Christ was a historical person, let it be noted you have produced nothing to the contrary.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere is plenty suggesting Jesus is a fraud. If you don't want to check it out, that's fine. But he does not exist just because you so badly want him to exist. You have been sold a bill of goods!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI honestly don't know if he existed or not, and neither do you. If he did exist, however, only a mental light weight would believe in a virgin birth.
