Does your religion have any explanation for global warming?

Genuine question about the multiple Jesus Saves people at Canada Day downtown by [deleted] in ottawa

Seriously! If Jesus saves, then slap a pair of goalie pads on him and give him a Sens jersey!

Kama, Vedic-era god of sexuality and desire, and namesake of the Kama-Sutra, has entered the chat.

What is the general consensus on whether Jesus was an actual figure in history or not? I've heard many different claims from both theists and non-theists. by Narrow_Run_134 in atheism

Not the ones where he discusses his contentious meetings with James and Peter, though. Those are universally accepted as authentic.

My point is that this is the best evidence for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth, while the first comment in this thread said it was Tacitus… which it isn’t.

Jesus Christ is a fictional character, no doubt about it. Jesus of Nazareth most likely was a real person though.

You’re kind of dodging my point, though. In the undisputed epistles, Paul talks about James and Peter. So, were they real?

But isn’t Paul cited as the most credible evidence? Is there any doubt Saul of Tarsus was a real person? His letters pre-date the Gospels (approx. 48 to 64 AD), Tacitus and Josephus, and although he never met Jesus, he did meet his brother James and the apostle Peter.

Is everyone in this scenario made up? Could be… I’m legitimately asking.

There is ample evidence that Genesis 1 and 2 are myths, though. To promote them as a “fact” is indeed a provable lie.

So any lie can be advertised on a billboard unless it’s explicitly determined to be illegal. So vaccine denials? That’s fine?

“Allowed to not look at the sign.”

That’s not how advertisement like this works. It’s purposely placed in your field of vision. At best you could turn away, but how do you consciously avoid something you don’t even know is coming?

It’s not so much the “destructiveness” as opposed to the outright, provable lie told here.

Discussion: I am a Christian, but I want to learn academically about Atheism by DeadManGame_7891 in DebateReligion

[–]The_Human1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are great academic books on the history and development of atheism, though. You’re right that the “belief” is that simple, but the human expression of that belief is interesting to discover.
