[quote:Anonymous Coward 4025722:MV8xNzg3ODI2XzI5NzExODE5X0IzRDVFMTlG] It's tricky, because of the occult allegories embedded into the story of Jesus, it makes it easy to dismiss or interpret however anyone wants. You'll only get opinions. Imo, Jesus might not be his real name - but a reference for those in the know for Ja Zeus or hail Zeus, saturn worship... Also the three wise men as being the Orion stars rising during a specific time over the horizon. Twelve disciples as the twelve zodiacs... Crucifixion is quite the occult allegory, hands nailed, crown of thorns, locations of the wounds, ect ect, these mystery guys have been getting off on it for over a thousand years now... What SUCKS is what has been done with the story, what it has been used for. Shame that the story of a pure spiritual person that becomes a teacher is turned into human sacrifice worship and a sin forgiveness vending machine... Shame that people assume there was already a "chosen one" and how dare they consider to become christ-like themselves, HE already did it for me. Sexist, diminutive, guilt-ridden, implies the follower should be desperate, implies sin is forgivable at a cost, implies love is conditional - all stacked into a story of liberation. But hey, that's how usurping works, you take something good and warp it into something that is manipulative, funny that Christians assume their religion is immune to corruption over the years... Foul play is afoot, the story had to be taken control of in their minds, otherwise such ideas would take control over society, rather than society maintaining control of us, Rome wasn't stupid when they nationalized their translation of the religion ;) Rationalizing the spiritual middle-man, the wrathful, guilt-imposing, jealous, super-power. It becomes difficult to separate truth from corruption over the years, but then again, it's not so difficult... [/quote]

One thing's for certain, Jesus has influenced the world in one way or another.
Do atheists and non-believers really think that the stories about Jesus were made up or lies?
Does that make sense?
