So, none of what you have posted is intended as on topic because Jesus.
Why are you complaining then? You have nothing to say regrding the topic?
Where have I or anyone else said that religion is going away? Is that a joke as well?
Dude, are you sure I'm the one with a reading comprehension problem there?

Well in the posts that are addressed to you it's because your response to every discussion is "I don't believe it because ... Jesus."
You address no argument offer no counter facts do nothing except repeat the same garden-variety faulty logic and belief based irrelevancy in EVERY post in EVERY thread.
So don't be surprised when you get the same in return.
Was that too many words at once?

Do you have a point about the 1500 year old bible that contains a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas?
Do you have a point about the Gospel of Barnabas?
Do you have a point about biblical historiography?

or.....................this was a bunch of made up crap used to control the people, promise good fortune only after they die, and comfort the poor so that they didn't violently revolt (as they had in the past) against the wealthy few.......

The bible was created by men from the writings of other men.
Anything else is merely religious belief.
This text is another among thousands of texts.
That's it.
(Thanks for your answer to questions posed to Chrisfish.)

So Jesus was just some alien dude! They must have known all along!
This is incorrect. The idea of Jesus being the "son" of god is an Idea that started as differing sects started to emerge in Christianity .

Oh boy...
Who exactly is this they you speak of? The people who painted the pictures I suppose....I may as well just stop now with this line of thinking....
If you want people who actually knew, the answers are out there and they aren't on paintings done by people who weren't there...But it's always aliens so why even try?
