Christians please answer something for me
by confusedandalone inor should i say some things.... reading over another thread and a number of other threads i have to ask, why are we making excuses for jesus / god.. how can you fathom and all powerful god who created the universe and all the laws that govern it was not capable of:.
1. making sure the proper pronunciation of his name is not available.
2. that all his teaching are not preserved in an easy to discern manner so that ther is no confusion.

(Are you referring to the fact that he doesn't re-tell the gospel stories that were already well known to his audience? )
Gospels came after, nobody knew what was a gospel.

Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?
by KateWild ini do not think god is a'morphic.
god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.
there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

God = good+omnipotent+omniscient+omnipresent
God + evil = fatal error.
Evil = exists.
God = does not exist.
If evil exists, God cannot exist. Evil exists.
You cannot beat logic. You just can blind yourself.

Did Jesus and Gautama Buddha preach a similar message?
by fulltimestudent inthere are many similarities in the stories attached to both the buddha (the one born in lumbini, nepal) and jesus, even though buddha lived in the 6th c/bce and jesus in the 1st c/ce.
this video compares some aspects of their teachings.. the text attached to the video states:.
buddha searched for the truth.

Probably Jesus went to desert to meditate and not pray. If you read the account it's very strange to think in prayers but the things go easy when you think in meditation (and hallucinations).

Atheists in foxholes
Atheists are barely visible in politics and entertainment, but they are clamoring for recognition in another area of public life — the military. The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers estimates that 40,000 soldiers identify as nonbelievers, and counts the most famous casualty of the war in Afghanistan, former NFL star Pat Tillman, as one of its own. In attempting to secure the same rights and support enjoyed by religious soldiers, the association lobbies against the idea that "there are no atheists in foxholes," and wants "atheist chaplains" made available for the ranks of the armed nonbelievers. Jason Torpy, the association's president, says that nonbelievers outnumber every religious group in the military except Christians, yet receive no ethical and family counseling geared to their own nonbeliefs. "These are things that chaplains do for everybody," he said, "except us."

There's not a single thing original in Jesus, nothing. His life and teachings are just a veneer upon ancient myths. The only originality is the very mixed up of a huge amount of others myths. I can't think in a bigger mythical frankenstein monster.

Buddha was just one source of the Jesus myth. You can see some buddhist views in the gospels like the kingdom of heavens being inside everyone and another ones.

When you're 7yo you ask to your mother: "But what about the wordly children in Armageddon ?" And your mother answer: "If you find a nest of snakes, do you kill just the adult ones ?".
When your mother says to you don't be like a goat, but a sheep.
When you know and use a lot of obsolete words.

He had faith although at the time there was no evidence.
