What if the bible is the world's largest prank?

Question

I think it would totally be possible. One day some person was sitting around and decided it would be fun to write this book with some accurate historial accounts and then try to get people to follow it. Just something I have thought about before...

Answer 1

Well then it is the best prank ever as it has impacted billions of lives and left footprints all over people's hearts for the good. It has given me peace, hope, joy, love, understanding for others and I would highly recommend that you read it. You might be surprised. Mmm

Answer 2

I think this is totally impossible. How could one person come up with all of this incredible stuff so long ago? There is no possible way that it could be fake. If you think it is then how did we get here? Why are we here? And what happens when we die? I just can't believe that anybody could believe that the Bible is a prank. Does it sound like a prank to you?!?! Well, it doesn't to me. And I know that some people look up all this stuff to prove that it was made up, but it doesn't prove anything. If you think the Bible is fake then what makes you think the information your finding to prove all of this isn't fake too? I pray for you all who don't believe in God. I hope you all find the truth soon. God Bless You All!

Answer 3

Anything is possible, but religion always has just been a thing of solace and comfort for us. Whether it is fake or not, people find peace and hope in it. They are willing to see only what they want to see. They believe in it, you can't change it. If the bible was a prank, well we won't really care anymore. This is the age of technology not religion and the church. Bigger things are on the horizon than some religious stuff. We are about to advance pass the bible soon, brace yourselves.

Answer 4

i'm assuming this question is purely hypothetical.....and not some insinuation about christianity....
well, if it was that person (or maybe their descendants) would have a whole lot to deal with if it ever got out. generation after generation has read and believed the bible. there would be a lot of chaos following that kind of information being exposed. but i guess a lot of people wouldnt believe it.

Answer 5

already is , read -

The Religious Piece


Take a quiz , see if you can figure out who I'm talking about - He was born to a virgin mother through the intervention of a holy spirit , that fulfilled an ancient prophecy . When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him , his parents had to flee to safety . All the male children under the age of two were killed by the ruler as he sought the child , angles and shepards were at his birth . He was worshipped as a savior of men and led a moral and humble life . He performed miracles which included - healing the sick , giving sight to the blind , casting out devils and raising from the dead . He was then put to death on a cross , descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back into heaven .

Sounds like Jesus doesn't it , but it's not . That written above is how people described the eastern savior Krishna 1,200 years before jesus is claimed to have been born . If u would like a savior god who died for our sins take a look at history there is a ton of them , all originating right near or on the same place where Jesus is said to have originated . To name a few there is - Buddha Sakia of India , Salivahana of Bermuda , Osiris and Horus of Egypt , Odin of Sandinavia , just to name a few .

Horus for example was the son of god in egypt , so was Jesus . Horus was the light and the world , Jesus it is said was the light of the world . Horus was born in annu the place of bread , Jesus was born in bethlehem the house of bread . Horus was the good shepherd , so was Jesus . Seven fishers board a boat with Jesus , seven people board a boat with Horus . Jesus was the lamb , so was Horus . The birth of Horus was marked with a star , so was Jesus , I could go on and on but I think you see my point .

Here's some bible myths I would like to reveal -

1 - The story of Jesus being a carpenter is a translation error , as the english translation of carpenter comes for the hebrew word naggar by the greek ho tekton . These words do not literally mean a carpenter as the word actually means a master of his craft and applied to teachers and scholars as well as craftsmen .

2 - Jesus was definitely not born in a stable and not a single gospel claims this is true . The christian nativity scene is complete invention . This concept comes from lukes gospel which says Jesus was laid in a manger , an animal feeding box , because there was no room in the inn . but the greek version describes it differently saying there was no place in the room . The truth of this is mangers were in fact used for babies when a cradle was not available but they moved the manger to the baby not the baby to the manger . To continue on about the nativity scene , the truth is , which shocked me to be honest is the fact that it originates with Saint Francis of Assisi of Greccio , in Italy in 1223 ad . He had some local people and their live stock { animals } illustrate the birth of Jesus and this nativity scene quickly caught on . Nativity scenes carved from wood become popular all over Italy at Christmas and the rest my friend is history .

3 - Jesus was surrounded by terrorists { yes u read that right } Simon Magnus was known as Simon Zelotes to acknowledge his role as commander of the Zealots the " freedom fighters " who advocated war against the Romans . The people Jesus was sorrunded by was a terrorist group called the sicarii or sons of the dagger . Sicarii comes from the greek word sica meaning curved dagger . The sicarii in ancient times would raid roman supply caravans and ambush their soldiers very much along the lines of a terrorist group like the IRA was in northern Ireland .

4 - People were not crucified for theft which makes the whole story of the 2 thieves crucified with Jesus just another made up story . It is the same thing that was said about the other " gods " i mentioned above . Historically it is said punishment for stealing would have been stoning to death not crucifixion .

If u don't belive any of the above think about Philio - who is Philio u ask , well Philio lived throughout the times of jesus , he even lived in Jerusalem when Jesus was said to have been crucified and Herod was supposed to have killed the children , he also was there where Jesus was to have made a triumphant return after he rose from the dead . And what does Philo and 40 other writers from this time period say about all this ? Nothing , not a syllable , not a drawing , nothing . Also none of this is mentioned in any of the roman records or from writers from greece , alexandria , jerusalem or anywhere else , nothing . Why ? Because it didn't happen , the interesting part is the Catholic , Christian and every other worker of " god " know about this , yet they won't tell u - I'll let u think about why .
