I'll take that challenge visual, of course it's been awhile since a wonderful little debate. MSN is coasttocoast33@yahoo.com if you wanna have a little chat.
I cannot lose enough iq points to bother reading all these paragraphs from dellusionals thinking god is on a 2 way radio with them.
I will, however, list known FACTS, documented in history.
The egyptian god Horus
dated around 2000 BC
-born of a virgin
-father was a wood worker
-3 men gave him gifts on his birth
-was baptized in a river
- the baptist was later beheaded
- was called the son of god, the lamb, prophet etc
-birthday was december 25th (infact nearly all ancient gods had this birthday, to celebrate the solstice)
-could walk on water, heal the sick, raised Azrus from the dead (Azrus translates into Lazarus)
- was crucified
- buried in a tomb, when 3 days later 3 women found the tomb empty, and he appeared to them.
dont forget, this is just the story of Horus
other interesting things from the Egyptian beliefs- a prophet named Mises (yes Mises, not Moses) was given 10 commandments (9 of which are almost word for word with the christian ones)
sigh i could go on and on.
This is my problem, people who believe without doing any actual research. Once you open your mind, and start to dig deep on this issue, you can see its nothing but stories passed down from the ages.
Being muslim, christian, morman etc, it isnt a choice. Chances are you are born into it, your parents are of a faith, and so you are too. Children are never given the choice, they are raised and from day 1 this stuff is pounded into their heads, thus they know nothing else, and will deny anything that opposes their "beliefs".
how do you close a thread?

I've heard some really stupid and offensive things in this thread so far, sorry Phenomena but from one atheist to another, neither your manners or arguments seem to last. But this one comment takes the price. I recently made a documentary about common stereotypical beliefs like yours, that heavy metalists would be any less civil than anyone else. I don't know which views you have of me but I listen to the heaviest music you could imagine, and also jazz, country, and all other forms of art.Again, no offense meant, but if you talk to some heavy metal or punk kids about how to co-opt their music into gospel, they would be far less civil than this thread has been.
Sorry, but I am far beyond the point of caring if I come across to harsh or not. If you have seen what I've seen, and know what I know, you wouldnt be all jolly and laughter when it comes to this subject.
I am truely disgusted that my way of life is controlled by MEN with schizophrenia.
I read that story when I was 14! awesome that someone knows what it is.I cannot lose enough iq points to bother reading all these paragraphs from dellusionals thinking god is on a 2 way radio with them.

It is disingenuous at best to complain about people arguing about religion when you brought the subject up.
