Re: Are you religious?
No, I'm simply reiterating that cultures throughout the world share a very similar story despite being thousands of miles apart and having had no contact with each other. That means either there were multiple types of events as mentioned above or the old timers of each culture each devised similar stories for their own particular set of reasons.Animal wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 8:20 pmyou aren't suggesting that there was enough water to flood the entire globe at the same time, are you?CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 8:18 pmWeird how the Chinese, American Indians and other cultures nowhere near this location have ancient stories about this event, eh?CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 2:59 pmActually archeology evidence has shown there was was a giant flood several thousand years ago around the time the Bible and other cultures reported it.

Every time that happened in ancient China, 20,000 Chinese drowned.

Re: Are you religious?
i am giving you the factually right answer. Jesus was a Jew. It doesn't matter what your personal opinion on definitions lead you to think.

Re: Are you religious?
I have no opinion. Technically speaking Muslim means submitter to god. Jesus was a messiah and that is what messiahs do. I don’t believe any of it so you can say Jesus was a fucking donkey and it would have the same impact for me. Religion was made to control the masses. For fuck sakes the ancient people worshiped the sun god because the sunrise was something they couldn’t understand. Jesus was made up my the Roman’s. It’s a literal hoax. I don’t have faith in religion as I don’t in Santa Claus. I also believe those that have been programmed to believe in religion are weak and can be preprogrammed to do about anything you can convince them of.
Let’s not forget the Cesar’s who ruled the empire were gods… self claimed gods. Fuck that. I am now a god. Send me your money.

Re: Are you religious?
Should we have a chat about Mormons and how that entire thing started and works?
For the record. From my experience Mormons are the most kind and pleasant people I’ve ever met. That said ,I don’t trust them but they’re super sweet people.
