To me whether Jesus existed or not is irrelevant with regard to the premise of Christianity claiming him to be the son of god. It's whether or not he WAS the son of god or performed his so-called miracles which matter and to this day there is still no evidence of either, nor will there ever be.

That's it! The Jesus stories are most reasonably explained as myth. History makes this obvious.
by Island Man ina careful examination of the historical pagan religious context existing at the time of the genesis of christianity leads any reasonable person to conclude that jesus is just another one of several similar myths.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7teoa9ark.

Do you feel embarrsed?
by The Rebel inwhen you look through a keyhole, and see the person you once were?.
as for myself, i am just pleased i have mended my ways.
i realise ( now) my time as a witness was a keyhole that looked in to the ground, and licked the elders arse.

Yes. Before I met my wife I was THE example of an asshole. I was an immature prick who ran around constantly trying to prove my "masculinity" and how tough I was. It took her to show me I was just an overgrown child. Now I just have to keep working on being the "bull in the China shop". -

Im always afraid
by BlackWolf inpeople tell me all sorts of different opinions.
i seem to feel a constant feeling of dread and anxiety.
the possibility of god existing scares me but so does the possibility of him not.

Where is this evil spirit from?
by iconoclastic inmany believe in the wonderful drama of evolution (life evolving from non-life through flower/fruit beautiful trees and variety of species, reaching homo sapiens and finally returning to non-life) through various processes such as mutation, adaptation, natural selection .... yet there is an evil spirit working against the very spirit of the evolution, producing ironical results in too large a scale.
to mention a few:.
1) the really superior beings are kept sidelined (http://thoughtcatalog.com/lorenzo-jensen-iii/2015/07/17-ways-that-science-proves-women-are-superior-to-men/).

Saintbertholdt:
Good point. You like others are way more knowledgeable than myself on evolution so yes, I enjoy every opportunity to learn from guys like you and Cofty, even if it is on an Icon thread. The books Cofty recommended to me have been incredible learning experiences but I still have a long way to go and enjoying the journey.

Looks like a zombie cart to me. Zoom in on the pic and look at those publications, no doubt they are bOrg litter. Hopefully it was someone who simply refused to have that shit in their neighborhood and wrecked it. -

The only way to know God exists!
by iconoclastic indo everything as god would do if he were present here.
this will attract his attention, and you will experience his invisible hands blessing everything you do, giving you results more than what you sowed.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
hence put to the test the above, and then you can make really authentic comments!.

Death is not something to be feared!
by iconoclastic inscience can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?
) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..
next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

LUHE:
The finality of death when one makes peace with it, no longer is a fear factor.
When faced with a deadly situation our instinct like that of all creatures, is to survive. When we are suffocating we gasp because our physiology demands oxygen in order to survive and we are aware that if we can't breathe we'll die, so we fight tooth and nail to breathe. All creatures behave the same way - it's Instinctive. Humans though fear death on a much vaster scale because we obsess over our mortality. Let go of that obsession and the need to survive remains but the fear of death fades away.

Does Jehovah control the weather? (Pharaoh's dream - 7 years of famine)
by truthseeker inaccording to the scriptures, jehovah makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous.
- matthew 5:45. in that case, if we look at the account in genesis, god is shown to give pharaoh a dream that he will cause seven years of famine.. genesis 41: pharaohs dreams.
25 then joseph said to pharaoh, the dreams of pharaoh are one and the same.

Common misconception, that the desert god controlss the weather. He is only the god of parking lots. Thor can controls the weather. It be noted, however, that he doesn't actually "control' weather worldwide all the time, rather he causes weather when he desires to do so. Hope this helps you out.
LOL! Quality post! -

First of all why would you fear the inevitable- it's counterproductive. Secondlyif you were working in an ER and observed someone die and were also witness to an animal's death you would realize there is no difference Between the death of either. Both live by the same mechanics and are subject to the same laws of science governing what is necessary to sustain life. Believing in a soul denies those fundamental mechanics and laws and certainly does not change anything. The most you could possibly do is bullshit yourself then that animals have souls, too and that would throw all your Christian nonsense right out the window.
