RE: Here we go again.

Comment comment by Anonymous on 16 March 2008

i am a former christian, i spent 18 years of my life "high" on jesus, and high on a pedestal similar to yours. jesus didnt drink wine right? it was grape juice? forget that, lets talk about drugs. keep in mind, the bible has been translated from the "originals" thousands of times. and, of course, no one has even seen the originals, or even copies of the originals. our earliest texts are still copies of copies of copies, etc. im sure any mention of a drug has been kindly removed or "mistranslated."

if "bob" made the news tomorrow because he went to the top of his local mountain and received a "message" from god. you, me, pretty much everyone would agree he was on something right? or crazy? but not moses, he was perfectly sane and sober? sure.... because surely god, who "knows all, is all, was all," can be a bit more creative than a flaming bush? i would hope so.

wake up! just wake up! i woke up. i am awake now, free from this nonsense. youre conditioned. youre numb to the absolute ignorance and atrocities the bible possesses. you know what i did? i applied logic to the bible, and to god, and guess what? it crumbles when you do that. go look up dionysus and see the similarities between he and jesus, except his "miracles" were 800 years before jesus. look up the epic of gilgamesh. note the undeniable similarities between he and noah, and the two floods. i can set a bush on fire. that is lame. religion is the worse drug out there. it makes one ten times more delusional because the affects never wear off. just look at the suicide bombers. 42 virgins sounds like an acid trip to me...so does a flaming-gay bush.

nobel prize winner, Francis Crick, was a frequent user of LSD and was on the drug when he discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. type in "francis click lsd" and you will see. you going to knock him too?

what does that mean?

stupid people find god in bushes when theyre high. smart, educated people find "gods code" through a microscope. lots of people have done lots of things on drugs. the bible is definitely not excluded.

Its a shame that religion makes Christianity so complicated. I am a Christian, and have absolutely no doubt in my mind of the authenticity of it all. I have seen miracles - and I wasn't high. Of course science and God don't fit in together, God is above science. He made it all.

You mention that Jesus wasn't the first to do 'miracles'. You're right. He wasn't even to be the first who claimed to be God, or to be raised from the dead prior to ascending back into heaven. So why do we believe? Where are those other religions now? Who, except historians, study the doctrines? None. Surely the fact that Christianity is still a major religion today counts for something with you? If not, how about the historic evidence - not in the Bible - that backs up what the Bible does say?

The church has made many many mistakes over the years. The church is full of hypocrites who will hurt us. The church isn't perfect. But if it was - would we fit in? I wouldn't!

Any thoughts?
