why don't people understand the fact that jesus did walk the earth and did die for our sins!
in psalm 14 it says that people who don't believe this will be in big trouble.
what are your opinions.

Can I now quote the Egyptian Book of the Dead to prove Egyptian Gods are real?
You can't quote a book to people who don't believe in that book and expect them to take you seriously.
And please, STUDY YOUR OWN HOLY BOOK
Psalm 14:1 The Hebrew words rendered fool in Psalms denote one who is morally deficient
This is taken directly from www.bible.com (of all places) where they have the study notes to show what the Hebrew actually meant. Just because someone doesn't believe in God doesn't mean they are automatically morally deficient - THAT'S what you are not understanding..... which in turn means a lot of people take this quote so far out of context that it means absolutely nothing when they do quote it.
Now, outside of the Bible, provide proof he was alive. Something from a contemporary source (contemporary means they were alive During Jesus' lifetime and either were an eyewitness or can attest to his existance.)

I think Jesus was real.
I don't think he was any more or less divine than I am.
We are all children of the gods; we all carry a spark of the divine within us. The man we refer to as Jesus was one of the few to realize his full potential, and tried to teach others how to do the same. But he didn't die for our sins; he died for politics (which is, I think, the biggest reason politics and religion should not mix.)

In Harry Potter, it says Voldermort exists. In Voluspo it says Odin exists. Just because something is written in a book doesn't mean everyone has to believe it. I believe the Voluspo you don't. You believe the Bible, I don't. We also don't view how to read said books. Does that make me wrong? No. Does it make you wrong? No.
I don't need my Gods to walk on earth to believe in them. I don't need to be saved. I have done nothing wrong. I am what the God's have made me to be. Why on earth should I feel bad for that? So while I appreciate the thought from Jesus, I won't thank him for what I didn't need to begin with. I am not worried about being "in trouble". All though I think you for your concern. My kin has it under control.

Human intervention causing error again, Jesus aks Isa was real he was the best doctor in all the world but he didn't have a visa for 21 towns so I guess he must have been exempt lol

It's YOUR sins, you feel guilty for them, you are the one who needs a crutch for them.
Jesus is the god for the hebrew people. He's not good for people of every ethnical origin. Everyone should follow the gods that are right for him/her.
Fine, you think you should feel guilty for doing perfectly ordinary everyday things because a 2000 year old book says they're sins? That's fine for you. You think you need somebody killed on a cross 2000 years ago so you can stop feeling guilty? Be my guest.
We are free from all this guilt trip. We are "the other people".

How is it that the tooth fairy isn't real? Honestly... I believe that back in the day there may have been some guy named Jesus... however I doubt he was the son of some deity and that he rose from the dead...

If Jesus trys to bitc* slap me Thor will B*&^* slap him with Mjoullnir.
Where is outside proof that he died for our "sins"?
all that can be proven, is that he was a guy with different ideas, and he was murderd. Thats all you can prove. So thats all Im willing to believe. Jesus is not my God or the God of my ancestors. My ancestors had many, and they could all kick Jesus' and Jehovah's A$$ (I use Jehovah to denominate, not to insult)

As a Muslim he did exist and he did many good things but he was not killed by no one and you only can save yourself by your deeds not Jesus deeds. If you kill a human you think you will be saved by Jesus.

Because it is NOT a fact that jesus even walked the earth. Provide one scrap of evidence that he even existed, then we'll talk.

Thank you for quoting scripture as a way to justify your statement. Trouble is, as an atheist, I don't believe in your bible, your 'son of god' or any other imaginary concept that you would like to push on me.
