There are many other books written about Jesus that were not included. Why are they less valid?

...have a different colours?

Human's skin changing colour is DUE to evolution.

Example 1: People in the tropical regions will eventually tan because of the sun BUT in a couple of million or thousand years they will eventually turn black (skin colourwise) assuming his family tree expands.

Example 2: If a black man went to the Northern Hemisphere (Canada, Russia, UK etc...) he would eventually turn WHITE in a couple of thousand years or millions assuming his family tree expands.

Because our skin NEEDS protection from the sun our skin turns whatever colour to suit that environment. E.g. You need LESS protection as you go to colder climates and MORE protection in hotter climates so that you do not develop "conditions"...

BUT how do you explain this? Why would God need to give us different colours? Why NOT the same? This PROVES evolution DOES exist. Sometimes its fast; sometimes it's slow...

Just an "am" or "am not" will do, but you can also explain why, if you wish.

I've asked many questions here about the lack of historical evidence for Jesus existing.

The same stuff always gets thrown forth: gospels, Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger.

Each time I point out the gospels are discredited (Just the fact that the first census in Judea happened years after Herod's death undermines their credibilty in two key areas. 1. The reason for going to Bethlehem. 2. Herod's order to kill the children forcing Jesus's family to flee to Egypt), The passages from Josephus (written in 92CE) appear to have been added by translators in one case and copied from another source (the same source used in Luke's gospel) in the other. Tacitus dosn't directly refer to a Jesus, and gets pilot's title wrong. Pliny the Younger just mentions christians, not Jesus.

Why does it seem that christians are unprepared to look objectively at the evidence and seriously examine wheter such a man existed beyond any reasonable doubt?

I am a 25 year old born again Christian but I am not a virgin, and I have chosen to abstain from sex until I'm married. I find it hard not to think about guys, and want to mess around with one in particular. I don't plan on having sex but I want so bad to do more than make out. It's hard not to want to do more since I already know how it feels. How do you prevent yourself from going too far? What advice do you have about remain faithful to God? ((Serious answers only please))!! Thank you!

And better than chanting hundreds

one Dhamma-saying

I've been translating this phrase to and from Latin in online translators for a while, and still can't find a good match. The closest I can get is "in omnis res rei par," which I like the sound of, but I'm not sure if it's correct or even has the same meaning as the aforementioned English phrase.

The bible doesn't say you have to like God, only that you believe in him.

* Note to tards: This doesn't mean I believe in them or that I hate them. I don't think they exist.

Any being that has the right to be called God must be omnipotent, omniscient and trancendant of time and space, right?

No one could properly understand the nature of completely unlimited knowledge and power that transcends time and space - You would have to be omniscient to truly understand!

Since we have now established that the concept of God is beyond human conception, And since you cannot actually believe in something you don't have even a basic understanding of (For example, you cannot believe in prime numbers until you actually understand what they are), I think that we can conclude that no one can actually believe in (an omniscient and omnipotent) God.

What are your thoughts on my theory?

Thanks in advance :P

Sometimes I accidently hit the wrong button. I have arthritis in my hands and make mistakes. I think we should have the option to change our thumbs up or thumbs down. Do you ever make this mistake? Doesn't it drive you nuts when you hit the wrong button?

1. The bible was written by man whom merely said they were graced by god. Anyone could do that, why do you refer back to a book written by man to conclude god's existance?

2. Faith is something that you're taught not born with. Holy brainwashing on a massive level is that of religion, if you do recognize that then why do you continue to believe in 'a god' specificly?

3. Some people claim that 'some' specific prophecies have come 100% true and therefore you must believe in god. However, what of the many which never do come true? Those are never discussed, are discarded as nothing, but in actuality are simply guesses or things put in place far in the future from when the bible was created so that the current generation and many after that will not even have the option to contest the bible's truth. Now we find ourselves.... correct me if i'm wrong but... 'on the verge of the apocalypse'? and have the option of contesting the bible in the eyes of the followers. Good century to come
