I am actually an /agnostic atheist/ as I don't know if any gods exist or not even though I believe there are none however in relation to *your* pathetic god, Jesus Christ, I do know for sure that he/it doesn't exist. Everything you say is predicated on your belief that the Bible is true. Well consider this: Assumption #1: Genesis creation story is a myth/allegory and Adam and Eve are a fiction. Assumption #2: Jesus Christ (either biblical or historical) existed. The Bible (Old and New Testaments) describe the genealogy of Jesus Christ all the way from Joseph and Mary back to Adam and Eve. Given our two assumptions at what point does this 50-generation genealogy transition from fact to fiction and what is the proof of this transition? IMO the entire genealogy is suspect and assumption #2 is bogus. There is no evidence contemporary to Christ's existence of his existence: it all came out in the latter part of the first century in writings from the likes of Josephus and Tacitus a significant time after Jesus's supposed death. The Gospels themselves are complete hearsay which wouldn't hold water as evidence in a court of law. If you now claim that assumption #1 is false despite all the evidence to the contrary (e.g. weathering of the Grand Canyon, fossils confirming evolution and evolutionary time scales) then you really are beyond help as nothing can be done to mitigate such obtuse stupidity. /Flibble |
