Great find! Thanks. No prob... Christianity is mostly a rehash of existing religion... not much new -- although Christians like to think so. I have notice that there are many religion focus clips. Watch zeitgiest (hope i spelt it right), they explain the whole christian Jesus thing. Believe or not to believe? Who do you believe? Yea -- I've seen it. Good "movie" ... It is essentially the same stuff as POCM: Christianity didn't come to the fore with some completely new/revolutionary ideas about god/religion. It is evolutionary and incorporates most of what people already believed at the time. Christianity borrowed a lot of it`s beliefs and rituals from other belief systems.

I certainly agree that the exclusivism doesn't agree with the facts of history. But it doesn't necessarily follow that all these faiths, all over the world, with all these things in common, are fraudulent. Indeed, that they share so very much suggests there might be some core values that many societies have discovered on their own. Well, my latest comments are specifically that Christianity has borrowed/stolen ideas from the belief systems that existed before (and at the time)... However, you are right: that doesn't mean that all faith systems are fraudulent -- there's another line of reasoning that demonstrates they are based on a very specious foundation (faith itself, as opposed to evidence based reasoning). I'm not sure you are arguing the following, but I'll setup the straw man anyway: However, the fact that all societies independently develop religious systems isn't indicative of the truth of the central commonality (supernaturalism). It would be more logical to derive that we (as a species) tend to look for p... Does anyone know why atheists and Scientology are uniting together in nude demonstrations? I don't pay much attention to naked atheists and nude aliens. They seem to complement each other though. This is obvious to anyone who studies history, unless they are fully indoctrinated. True ... |
