I'm glad you feel the existence of some all-powerful god, and I'm also glad you feel it loves you. And indeed me. But saying it's so doesn't make it so for me, even if it's true for you. May your god go with you. I'm afraid he doesn't exist enough to go with me.

You may not realize this, but God sent ME here to this site in order to talk common sense to you and others like you and inform you that your religion is hooey. I thought you came to this website to read what I have to say!! Can you prove that God did not send me? Why don't you have faith in what I say God told me to tell you? What's the matter with you? Why do have no trust in me? Honestly, I feel just as compelled and just as worthy of putting my two cents worth of opinion here as anyone else. Opinions, that's all we really have, just opinions.
By the way, are you sure you didn't just come on your own?

No. It's quite possible that Jesus Christ never even existed.
"Christianity borrowed its central myths and ceremonies from other ancient religions. The ancient world was rife with tales of virgin births, miracle-working saviors, tripartite gods, gods taking human form, gods arising from the dead, heavens and hells, and days of judgment. In addition to the myths, many of the ceremonies of ancient religions also match those of that syncretic latecomer, Christianity. To cite but one example (there are many others), consider Mithraism, a Persian religion predating Christianity by centuries. Mithra, the savior of the Mithraic religion and a god who took human form, was born of a virgin; he belonged to the holy trinity and was a link between heaven and Earth; and he ascended into heaven after his death. His followers believed in heaven and hell, looked forward to a day of judgment, and referred to Mithra as "the Light of the World." They also practiced baptism (for purification purposes) and ritual cannibalism—the eating of bread and the drinking of wine to symbolize the eating and drinking of the god’s body and blood. Given all this, Mithra’s birthday should come as no surprise: December 25th; this event was, of course, celebrated by Mithra’s followers at midnight.
Mithraism is but the most striking example of the appearance of these myths and ceremonies prior to the advent of Christianity. They appear—in more scattered form—in many other pre-Christian religions."

I think a lot of us need more evidence that Christ is the son of God other than a book that was written two thousand years ago.

I don't think Jesus was human. I think he never even existed.

And if he did he wasn't a very good moral teacher.

By your logic, why are there be so many Atheists here telling you he isn't real? He was just a man.

No he/she/it doesn't love me. You can't possibley presume to know what an imaginary diety feels. Even if he/she/it existed, I'm not loved by said diety.
