ok good. that means if we had a calendar based on greek myths and i followed it, because i live on earth with other folks that follow it, that wouldnt make me a follower of greek myths. ok good that you understand this, lets see if you can hold it together. this is a step backward. cmon man. i am acknowledgin the influence of magic on our culture, thats doesnt mean anything about whether that stuff is true. again, i dont understand why poinatt you think you are making. technically i dont even have a belief system relative to what we are talking about. so it cant really be stupid. i dont have any faith to mock, and beliefs to ridicule. you cant say to me "your idea about where the universe came from is stupid", because i have no answer. i dont know why we are here, or who made us or if we were made by anything. i have no evidence to support any viewpoint on these topics. so you telling me that my opinion this is "flawed" is crazy because i have no evidence, no faith, no beliefs. [/FONT][/SIZE] again, i dont have a philosophy in the same way you do, they are not comparable. you have answers about the universe, i have questions without answers. my "view" is a lack of a view and a rejection of yours.
regarding the historical evidence that a dude named jesus existed, i think he probably did. but that is like saying a guy named paul bunyan existed. the guy who is described in the boble who did magic things and went about doing all kindsa of gangster **** did not exist. so effectively, the person described in the bible, he did not exist. if i had to guess i would say a jesus guy existed and did a couple things, then had a bunch of other legends attributed to him, even though they happened in other places to other dudes and were 99% less miraculous. like perhaps a guy (who isnt jesus) found an extra loaf of bread behind an extra bottle of wine at a dead party, and everyone was really hungry and the girls at the party were ugly, but this guy found some wine, and some hot girls showed up and got wasted an d popped out their boobs, and it was an epic party, and eventually this story is attributed to jesus and he fed a whole kikckass party with a truckload of kickass bread and incredible wine.
