"the mythological Jesus..." <<<DT is right; you are up there with the "Bush was behind 911" crowd with your mythtaken theories about the historicity of the Gospels.>>>“ "Frankly, your response is so unrelated as to be retarded. It is not about 9-11." It's not unrelated at all; it simply challenges a point that you gratuitously included and agrees with DT's assessment that it is only a fringe element that would agree with your denial that Jesus of Nazareth is an historical reality. "It is about whether or not my assertion that Jesus pleaded to be spared suffering was correct and supported by Christian dogma." "You cannot point out a single human being who does not value life for the "happiness they can eke out of it" and who wishes to "avoid suffering" within the context of their values." Clearly Jesus asked if it was possible to avoid suffering the excruciating pain and humiliation of the cross, but what He did is more important. it is equally clear that Jesus life was not about eking happiness so you are only partially correct on a surface level. However on a deeper level you still have not shown how what people want translates into what people should do. Your argument suffers from the Naturalistic fallacy. "And I have explained to you over and over again that it is often moral to break laws even though you are a criminal when you break laws." Yes you keep repeating that without providing adequate reasoning beyond arbitrarily assuming human dignity and universal human rights, which a consistent Atheistic system cannot explain. So they were ethical criminals for breaking Laws established by their society? What is the basis for those ethics that transcend societal laws?
