I have to say I have had very satisfactory results from acupuncture for some conditions. I'm certainly not claiming it's proof of anything but sufficident for me to make use of it from time to time.

New Study Exposes Acupuncture As Pseudoscience
by alecholmesthedetective inbesides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

Forming an opinion on whether Jesus existed and if so, what or who he was is , as I'm sure you appreciate, going to need some work. You may not be able to reach a definitive answer to those questions that satisfy you, but if you're prepared to do some research you might be able to reach a decision based on a probability.
Putting aside as far as possible emotional attachments, why not read around the subject (and there's a lot to read on that subject). I can't recommend any particular reading on this (as I long ago lost any interest in Christianity and other organised religions), but there are many on here who I am sure could, and some interesting discussions too.
Determining what is real and true has been behind the efforts of scientists and philosophers for centuries - don't expect a quick resolution :)

He's not really asking whether people believe In it, he's asking for their experiences. Sheesh.

I didn't say anything about when life starts. I said when the embryo becomes a person. I haven't read any comments that indicate that an embryo or foetus isn't alive. Many things are alive but are not a person. An organ is composed of living tissue but is not a person.

Isn't this about when a person comes into existence? I don't think anyone would condone the taking of a person's life without good cause, however there are a number of situations where this is already permitted. The rules also vary somewhat from place to place.
It appears to me that the anti-abortion lobby view fertilisation as the point at which a person is formed whilst others view that point as being reached at different points in the process of gestation. I am not sure there is a single common accepted point at which an embryo becomes a person in its own right. If it was that obvious, it would have been defined a by now I would have thought.
I can understand why a person opposing any form of abortion would try to convince others of their point of view but the fact is that not everyone sees it that way and shouting the point won't change their opinions. I dread a society where such stridency overrides the rights of others to determine their own lives.
True, abortion takes away the right of a foetus to live (If it has such a right). If it is not a person then what rights exactly does it have?
