Do you know what the timeline on that is??? I had thought Mohammed was around before Jesus. Again I haven't a clue. -
Homer's Odyssey describes the travels of Odysseus throughout the Greek islands. The epic describes, in detail, many locations that existed in history. But should we take Odysseus, the Greek gods and goddesses, one-eyed giants and monsters as literal fact simply because the story depicts geographic locations accurately?Originally posted by Warham
Actually many of the people and places in the Bible can be backed by archaeological evidence, and even more are discovered as the years go by.
The problem is absolutely no contemporary sources. Noone that was alive when Jesus was alive mentioned him and we have tons of writing from that time by Roman and Jewish historians.
If Herod wiped out every male child why would noone mention it?
The (anonymous) 4 gospels were written by people that weren't there, many years after the events, and contradict each other all over the place.
The Koran is actually more believable in that at least we know that Mohammed was a real life character although it does rely on the usual 'lets invent a cult' device of prophet goes out into wilderness, God gives him laws which then 'mysterously disappear'.
Ludicrous.
But the ancients aren't the only gullible people around, have you seen what scientologists believe? :D
Cheers!

Ain't that the truth.Originally posted by bueno bob
On that, I'm about 29057% in agreement with you.
Even if the whole Christianity thing had any basis in fact, if it originally did, it's been so far twisted out of context over the years it probably doesn't even remotely represent what was originally intended. It's become a tool for control over the masses and a good way to get you to think along a certain line of predictability. Religion is the ultimate tool of social engineering and manipulation. Not much else.www.myspace.com/jonsudburyComment

Muslims believe that Jesus was an important prophet but that the resurection was a scam done by using an actor to play the part of Jesus.Originally posted by kentuckyklira

You have to understand that when you're setting up a new religion it's much easier to do so by incorporating some of the existing beliefs to help get it off the ground and to make it easier to convert people.
That's why the Christian cult used a lot of the pagan Sun God stories for the nativity story and why they incorporated the Jewish old testament.
The same happened more recently with Jehovahs Witnesses basing their crap on the christian myths.

The complete proof that it wasn't faked is have you ever tried to get 500 Americans to keep their mouths shut for 30 years?Originally posted by Jesterstar
