Not necessarily. Jews 'tend' not to believe in jesus, although they do believe some other messiah will one day turn up and save them. It's just the subject of the delusion that is different, not the delusion itself.
And anyway you could argue quite easily that xtianity is simply a breakaway...
Someone can accept anything they want but without any historical evidence to back that up it is so much piss and wind. There is ZERO evidence for the existance of the person jesus. Not one contemporary historian or author refers to him and there is no other documentation.
Plenty of people...
Come on, historical evidence for your mythical man please?
Give me something concrete and that is accepted by reputable historians, not the likes of David Barton, and I promise to go to church on sunday and pray my socks off and you can notch up another 'soul' saved. Not much to ask for is...
Is the trinity the father, son and holy ghostand if so are they the three in one or not? Was your god, in your view, the creator of everything and is he omnipotent?
Ok, evidence for the existance of jesus then. I want contemporaneous historical records. Josephus and Tacitus do not count, both were writing more than 50 years after the supposed death of jesus.
I want you to provide an historical document, not the bible that is not historical, that records...
WTF are you on about? JC? Do you mean the mythical jesus?
Well if so then I have news for you, he was created by your mythical friend and hence your mythical friend 'gave' him his powers, hence he must posess those powers himself. And anyway, what about the trinity?
Or is that another...
Ermm, forgive me if I am wrong here but your imaginary friend is omnipotent isn't he? He created everything according to the deludos and as such the rules don't apply to him so he can do what he wants. So according to the rules you yourself have written for your friend he could heal amputees...
Oh dear, you really are thick aren't you. If you care to check my profile you will see I have been here for several years, for reasons I have already explained but which you seem to simple to understand.
Now run along, read your fantasy book, pray for me - while I do your thinking for you -...
Ohh, I'm going to disagree with you - slightly. This is not really anything to do with intelligence, it is to do with education imo. In general the better educated a society and it's members are then the less religious they are. That is why religious belief is falling in western nations but...
Simple. 2 is the more likely. If not then you are once again faced with the question that no religious person ever likes to answer. If all things need a first cause and creator then who or what created god?
I used to follow Stockport but after falling out spectacularly with some people up there and also the former club chairman at Stockport - and being threatened with a lible action by the current chairman after I called him a corrupt peer, his name is Lord Peter Snape if you want to google him - I...
One additional thing about cult definition is that they seek to prevent members from leaving don't they?
I always thought that was one of the defining factors in cult designation.
It's a common thread with many apologetics. Witness the many (mainly xtian) youtubers who post idiotics rubbish and then disable rating and comments on their tripe. Classic examples are people like shockofgod, nephilimfree and the vortex (some catholic called Michael Voris I think it is)...
You presuppose the existance of a soul hence your argument is automatically circular and invalid. First for your argument to hold validity you need to prove the existance of the soul.
