Jesus the product of Rape??

Aleco: You won't get a serious answer.

[VxDx]

Banditcom: I want to see what he has to say.

Oh; god, jesus, the bible, creationism, resurrection, blind faith, sacraments, church, and so on.

Which brings up another interesting point. How authentic is the english language version of the bible? How many times has it been translated and revised over the years and adapted to target it's audience? Why is there confusion as to the real name of Mary when it is the most accurate historical accounts of events ever written? Realize that I am putting this out there purely for the enjoyment of conversation.

You do know btw that any Stenographer would dispute your claim as the most accurate historical accounts of events ever written Mandragora? lol

My friend just handed me this book called "The Evolution Cruncher". Meh... I'll look through it to see what crap they dispute.

[aleco]

Vxdx: yeah, it's called religion.
Synth: There are some very interesting things people disagree or can't understand. It's all weird. That's why you have faith.

i think its because writting in back when the bible was published could not have been extremely neat. A little typo could change the whole name of someone.

[VxDx]

Yeah, and your blind faith amuses me. I love that you live based on a fictional book.

[banditcom]

VxDx: Respect his beliefs. He's not putting them on you.

[VxDx]

I do respect his beliefs, insofar as he can believes what he wishes, but it's not what I believe, so I ask that you respect my beliefs.

[Synthlight]

VxDx, this is not an area to flame people. If you do not have anything of value to add, please leave the thread. You are only trying to enrage certain people.

[VxDx]

Not at all, I'm really curious as to why and how people can believe what they do.

[banditcom]

"blind faith" isn't really a nice way to ask... :P

[Master_of_PARANOiA]

sometimes people don't even know why they believe what they do VxDx.

for example: I believe in god, I don't know why I believe in god, but nevertheless I do.

Blind Faith is a song from Pump It Up. Quite good if I remember correctly.

Yeah and plus the monks wrote and translated the bible in really dim lit rooms in the monastaries, scriptoria I think they are called, so of course there would be mistranslations. Plus because of the religious turmoil in that time things certainly could have been added and taken out. Just wanted to throw some history in.
