Jesus the product of Rape??

[banditcom]

It's no problem bro.

[Synthlight]

Thanks for the clarification Aleco. Lets say however that it did come to light that indeed that was what happened? How would that affect your views?

Cheers,

Synthlight

Yes, I didn't think it was true for a second.
It would seriously make me wonder, though, if I did believe it.

you are a faithful person aleco.. im also skeptable about the article.. "im not really a christian.. so my faith isn't there to say it didn't happen.. but it's kinda vague with details.."... it says her name might have been "Miriam"... i haven't seen a follow up to this article and it was posted 23 dec, 03, so either they found it to be not true.. OR They just haven't found any other information on it yet.. and just for Jewpin.. There may have been a cover-up, something the cathlic/christian church didn't want us to find out..

[aleco]

Her name may have been Miriam. That is possible.

well i agree.. anything is possible.. its possible she could have been raped.. and possible jesus was the child of a rapest... but im just not sure of the whoel thing.. i could argue ether way on this one..

[banditcom]

OR... it's possible that all of these things are just exaggerated stories.

EDIT: I should read the Bible sometime so I can gain better insight on that whole side of things (religion), because I'm agnostic.

true.. so.. to the other question.. how would christianity and other religions change if this was found out to be true..

[banditcom]

You're asking an agnostic, not an atheist. So the answer would be accepting the religion. I don't know what an atheist would say.

I'm open minded, but I can't accept many aspects of religion, ESPECIALLY organized religion. Many people follow the masses and don't have their OWN beliefs. Aleco has his own beliefs and they only pertain to him. I respect that.

EDIT: Oh I read that wrong.. thought you were asking me if the religions were proven true how would my viewpoint change.. :P

[Moogy]

Maybe, maybe not. Unless there's a follow-up with some more conclusive evidence, we can't say for sure...

I agree with the part about religions tending to exaggerate things, though...

EDIT: Oh yeah, what's the difference between an agnostic and an atheist?

[banditcom]

Atheist is "there is no god. (period)" and agnostics are more like "religion doesn't affect me... I don't know if there is a God or not."

Most atheists are probably agnostic. For me, I just live life and don't try to think of those types of things. I respect others as long as they respect me and don't try to put THEIR beliefs on me.

[87x]

ha.. so how would a agnostic feel about evolution?.. not meaning to go off topic.. PM me with the answer

[Brainmaster07]

Atheist means you believe in scientificly proven facts, god goes against everything science has proven, so atheasts don't believe in him.

Like me.

atheist (as it was explained to me) believes that shit just is here.. just one day it popped up..
Exolutionist believe the big bang and all that stuff
i was tought they were two seperate things.

[makaveli121212]

it wont affect christainity at all becuase 1 it cant be preoven and 2 christians wont believe it
