"Christianity was the ultimate product of religious syncretism in the ancient world. Its emergence owed nothing to a holy carpenter. There were many Jesuses but the fable was a cultural construct. Nazareth did not exist in the 1st century AD – the area was a burial ground of rock-cut tombs. Following a star would lead you in circles. The 12 disciples are as fictitious as their master, invented to legitimise the claims of the early churches. The original Mary was not a virgin. That idea was borrowed from pagan goddesses.
Scholars have known all this for more than 200 years but priestcraft is a highly profitable business and finances an industry of deceit to keep the show on the road. "Jesus better documented than any other ancient figure" ? Don't believe a word of it. Unlike the mythical Jesus, a real historical figure like Julius Caesar has a mass of mutually supporting evidence."

Yet, only Christians will care about this question. For everyone else, it's a pointless question.
Did you know that you need the Tooth Fairy? Even if you don't believe in her, you need her.
Sounds ridiculous? That is much how the atheist will view your plea. Sorry, but it's a waste of time and effort.
Now, if you were to actually ask questions about the illusion of perfection within God or the flaw of Pascal's Wager, then we have something more interesting going on.
But simply saying, "Hey, fill this out," does nothing. It only reaffirms for those who already believe in that and causes those who don't to merely ridicule you.

Point is, by most definitions, everybody's a sinner in somebody's eyes...
I say if you're a sinner you should first think if what you're doing is wrong. If so - stop. If not - carry on. That's what you really need.

Is this all it takes? OK first let me go steal some things, murder some people and yell fire in a crowded theater. Then I'll fill out this stupid form and it will be a clean slate. Is that what you are telling us? Now I see the appeal of Christianity.

Whoa! A guy on the internet said it, so it must be true!
Even though his spelling and punctuation were shoddy, it wouldn't be on the internet if it weren't more valid than the beliefs I formed in 46 years of life, four college degrees, lots of reading, and world travel.

If you hadn't told me, I would never have realised that I needed "forginess", so thank you.
By the way, what is "forginess"? It sounds tasty.

rofl. No I don't. I'm not going to waste my time with something I don't believe in. I live life just fine without your fake religion.

No, YOU need Jesus. Not me!
It goes even deeper than that.
For some twisted reason, you need me to need Jesus.
