"Sounds judgemental to me." It IS judgemental. If we take away the essential Christian dogma of miracles, and coming back from the dead...the bible remains a wasteland of myth and trite aphorisms available centuries before and after. To the Christian, if Jesus was only a great teacher rather than God, then there is no book that supports the Christian message of hope for eternal life. "the "Great Solon's thread"" I don't require your sycophantic praise, DAK. Get the rag out and get on with it. "since there is (some)falsity in the bible and Christians (some)declare the bible their holy book (which has a myriad of meanings); therefore there was no Christ" That is absolute babble. The rational investigation into the historicity of Jesus has nothing to do with the fact that Christians consider the bible a sacred book. "Did you really expect someone to come on your thread and prove that there is a god, or that the bible was "inspired" by god??" People try to justify their philosophy, their theology, or their mysticism in all sorts of ways. The only thing I can pretend to expect is a great deal of absurdity and incoherent thought juxtaposed with posts of discernment and sometimes profundity.
