The Controversy Despite all of this literature continuously being cranked out and the significance of the issue, in the public at large there is a serious lack of formal and broad education regarding religion and mythology, and most individuals are highly uninformed in this area. Concerning the issue of Christianity, for example, the majority of people are taught in most schools and churches that Jesus Christ was an actual historical figure and that the only controversy regarding him is that some people accept him as the Son of God and the Messiah, while others do not. However, whereas this is the raging debate most evident in this field today, it is not the most important. Shocking as it may seem to the general populace, the most enduring and profound controversy in this subject is whether or not a person named Jesus Christ ever really existed. Although this debate may not be evident from publications readily found in popular bookstores1, when one examines this issue closely, one will find a tremendous volume of literature that demonstrates, logically and intelligently, time and again that Jesus Christ is a mythological character along the same lines as the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Sumerian, Phoenician, Indian or other godmen, who are all presently accepted as myths rather than historical figures2. Delving deeply into this large body of work, one uncovers evidence that the Jesus character is based upon much older myths and heroes from around the globe. One discovers that this story is not, therefore, a historical representation of a Jewish rebel carpenter who had physical incarnation in the Levant 2,000 years ago. In other words, it has been demonstrated continually for centuries that this character, Jesus Christ, was invented and did not depict a real person who was either the "son of God" or was "evemeristically" made into a superhuman by enthusiastic followers3. truthbeknown.com

>>The Jewish art of slander seems to be a perennial characteristic of those who follow talmudic teachings.<< Would it have been slander to call Hitler an anti-semite?

emile, you wrote: >My wife is Jewish!<. You wrote that to infer that you can not hate Jews or be anti-semitic because your wife is Jewish. Tell us, what branch of Judaism does she belong to...Reformed, Conservative, or Orthodox? If she is Jewish, she does not believe in Jesus. So your wife does not believe in Jesus, correct....yet she is married to you...lets be truthful about our statements here...either she is a practicing Jew or your connotations to the thread are deliberately misrepresentative as usual.

I've always wondered why the Palestinians rejected Israel's generous peace proposal, would would have eventually lead to a Palestinian state. The Palestinians KNEW about the attack on the US and hoped that America would be weakened badly, and then America would not able to support Israel! There is no doubt in my mind that the brutal, violent, uncivilized Palestinians are only interested in their criminal agenda of war and terror over peace. Let's all hope that the Palestinians are never allowed to become powerful enough to spread their version of hate and violence throughout the rest of the world.
