Did you have a wondrous visit to the viper chapel too?

No, sadly. I was too busy going through the secret archives and talking with the Pope about how we could get Baphomet into the next exhibit, hopefully in time for the upcoming War on Christmas Redux Part DCLXVI.

Was that a yes, no or what?

Also, are you scared of bridges? They do ceremonies when one of them are completed too. Scary!

Ehrman says this collection of snippets from non-Christian sources may not impart much information about the life of Jesus, “but it is useful for realizing that Jesus was known by historians who had reason to look into the matter. No one thought he was made up.”

As a Roman historian, Tacitus did not have any Christian biases in his discussion of the persecution of Christians by Nero, says Ehrman. “Just about everything he says coincides—from a completely different point of view, by a Roman author disdainful of Christians and their superstition—with what the New Testament itself says: Jesus was executed by the governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, for crimes against the state, and a religious movement of his followers sprang up in his wake.”

“When Tacitus wrote history, if he considered the information not entirely reliable, he normally wrote some indication of that for his readers,” Mykytiuk says in vouching for the historical value of the passage. “There is no such indication of potential error in the passage that mentions Christus.”

I am sure you saw the video like everyone else

"Let that sink in for a moment. Angela Merkel and other heads of state give a standing ovation to a ceremony in which actual miners' deaths are commemorated as necessary sacrifices for the completion of their grand public works project. You know, like little pharaohs."

Still no yes or no. I mean, they’re not super long difficult words to spell.

Maybe I’m asking too much from someone who’s scared of statues.

I guess you have bet on that with your life. I guess the Christians were being killed for believing in a non existent leader.

So all the pagans who got killed were killed because they’re gods are real? Or is this a special hypocritical “MY god is real because Christians were killed, but the other ones aren’t, even though they got killed for the same reasons” argument?

Rudeness seems to being growing on ATS at an unprecedented rate. No one seems to want to talk without some snide remark involved.

I had no idea what you meant, looking back I assume you mean will it "make" people worship the statues that it is displayed.

Tell me will it "make" people follow if worship the swastika if we start displaying it as "art".

That is your answer.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Still no yes or no. It’s not difficult. Yes has 3 letters. a Y, an E and an S. No has an N and an O.

I get it you have no belief in Jesus and the biblical account so what you looking for a fight?
I am not interested. Just as you are not really interested.

Most theological historians, Christian and non-Christian alike, believe that Jesus really did walk the Earth.

This is the reply from someone who can’t answer because their answer would prove they’re a hypocrite.

BTW, there was a statue put up in my town of a fishing trawler (it’s a fishing town. shock!). I must go worship boats now!

Your response and ignoring the swastika example to add a fishing trawler is just sad.

Life is always a bet and a gamble.

As to people being killed for belief in the nonexistent.

It would not be the first time, probably won't be the last.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Josephus mentions Jesus also, as do Pliny and Suetonius but that does not provide unequivocal proof that Christ ever existed as a "historical" character.

And even if it did, it does not prove his father to be anything other than a Man.

It's Sun worship, not Son worship, Christianity simply being a rehash of the religions that came before.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Millions of people worship to a swastika to this day. It goes back in far eastern and indian religions to about 5,000 BC.

It is only in Europe and North America where it is predominantly associated with National Socialism. They themselves got the symbol from their occultist, volkisch and vaguely neo-pagan predecessors the Thule Society.

a reply to: SeaWorthy wow the powers that be are so unoriginal,why is it every story of any tribe other then Jew or Romans all sacrificied their inhabitants,because all scientists are full of #,not capable of thi nking for themselves

a reply to: SeaWorthy

So Child sacrifice does not bother you. The revival does include it increasing. Maybe you could join a spirit cooking group.

Not exactly, people kill people for all sorts of stupidness including voodoo magic. I'm not here to cure the world of crazy.

No because there is only one creator and the end times are near, creatures are dying all over the planet just as foretold, in fact many of the prophecies are come about now.

The end times are near! Ahhhh!

Genuinely I've never heard that before, you must be the first religious nut job to claim that.
