Jesus was not a lunativ if he was he would be stupid and not give his life for, perform miracles, love us, and preach to us. What in there makes him sound like a lunatic?

Thats a nice selective part of him. How about these. Walked on water, claimed he could heal people.

Lunacy: The state of being mad, insanity; Something deeply misguided.

If he thougt he was the son of god then he fits the profile.

1st.) He wasn't a lunativ. He was a lunatic.
2nd.) Jesus didn't say that specifically, he just said that the only path to heaven was to believe in him. If you don't go to heaven, where do you go? Limbo or hell. Most likely hell. Logical reasoning yesplz.

I would encourage everyone to look into Mithra, a pagan god that god absorbed into Roman mythology. The story of this god is remarkably similar to this alleged god incarnate named Jesus. In fact, the similarities are eerie, although Christian apologists have done their fair share to discount the influence Mithraism had on the developments of Christianity.

I'm just gonna go down the page and correct/respond to a few things.

It first was going around like a storie and as you know a storie gets 'modified' every time someone tells it to someone else.


The story of Jesus was preserved in advance by writing it. They looked ahead to the future and wrote the Bible. The story hasn't been warped.

He did heal people. It is written.

Jesus didn't say that specifically, he just said that the only path to heaven was to believe in him. If you don't go to heaven, where do you go? Limbo or hell. Most likely hell. Logical reasoning yesplz.


You're asking the wrong question. You don't go somewhere if you don't go to heaven. Hell unlike heaven, isn't a place, but rather a condition. You will either inherit the new Earth or simply die, knowing that you will never see heaven or Jesus or any of that stuff. That is what hell really is.

The story of this god is remarkably similar to this alleged god incarnate named Jesus.


Jesus isn't a god incarnate, he is the Son of God. Huge difference. =p Bring it on Moe, atheism is a flawed idea.

He was just a man who did some tasks that others couldn't, and his stories could for anyone knows be false.

Did he "heal" people. Or did he medically heal people and they misinterpreted it as "healing"

And still: walked on water?

love us, and preach to us

I'd like to point out that obvious oxymoron. I for one am extremely pissed off when people preach to me. My beliefs are mine alone to decide, no one, not even Jesus or God is going to change that.

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: âIâm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I donât accept His claim to be God.â That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic â" on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg â" or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

Our preaching should also be with respect to the people we preach to and with love. What I don't understand is why Christians don't try to do that. They just shove their beliefs in people's faces and think people will listen to them. It is not an oxymoron when you say "love us, and preach to us" It just seems that way because of the Christians who make a bad name for the rest of us.

May have been just a very good hypnotist. Miracles are coincidences. Coincidences don't happen. Therefore, miracles don't happen.

Looks like you don't understand hypnotism, coincidences, or miracles. Hypnotism is ineffective against groups, particularly groups of skeptical Jews. As for coincidences and miracles, coincidence that someone rose from the dead? You might want to check your assertions.
