Similarities don't prove common decent.

Yes actually, when talking in terms of religious development they do.



Most Zoroastrians claim that their religion is dated to 6000 BC, but historians place Zoroaster's life to be around 6th century BC. This was the time and place of the Babylonian enslavement of the Israelites. Jewish writings dated before 6th century BC spoke of angels, resurrection and salvation, so it is almost certain that Zoroastrianism sprang from Judaism and not the other way around.

Try looking at the findings of historians that aren't biased by the christianized culture. I think you'll find that respected historians, such as the ones that write actual history books will disagree with you.




Mithra/Zoroastrianism originated around 6th century BC, by that time Judaism was very well established.

see answer above

sorry, Mithra was around in the days of Egyptian enslavement, try again. where do you think they built it from?



Yes, let's!



How should I respond to this? By researching for two weeks to try to find who you are talking about? If there were 20+, then couldn't you just give me a couple examples?

Simon the sorcerer, John the Baptist to name a couple. I know, you'll say "the bible says John the Baptist was a follower of christ" get your nose out of the bible and look at historical evidence like the fact that John had his own gig goin and saw christ as a greater leader so the John who had deciples of his own began following christ.



The Gnostic Gospels were rejected by the majority of Christians. We see that clearly in various documents written before the Council of Nicea. Irenaeus in 180 AD wrote that only Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were to be accepted as Gospels. By 300 AD, Eusebius was still saying the same thing.

Only because they didn't want the competition. Not for any more valid "truth" in them.



Neither me nor my faith say you are going to hell. Jesus is the only Judge. I can tell you what God doesn't like, but I can't say if any or all of them would send you to hell.

Wrong read your bible. your faith is all about telling me I'm going to hell. Here's a news flash for you, your christ will never be my judge, nor will any other human being.

You can tell me what god doesn't like? lol which one? you still are so blind to think yours is the only one out there... wow.



I quote the Bible when debating the Bible. In a debate of the Bible, only the Bible would be valid evidence. So if you say "The Bible is inconsistent, it says you shouldn't eat pork then it says you can", I would be forced to quote the Bible to prove that those two statements aren't inconsistent, they are addressed to two different audiences.


no, they are addressed to one audience... humanity. you can't on the one hand say that all the bible is for all humanity and on the other say "well don't pay much attention to this cause it was written for a specific audience for a specific culture and time"... doesn't work.

Well... first off I'm still here lol

Second, I think it's a bit easier to "meet" people online, but a bit easier to really get to know them in person. Neither one I think is better than the other, you just have to know the different pro's and con's of both.

Sorry... digressing. To answer your question, of course I would keep using the online venue. If I didn't it would be a bit like blaming the gun for the killing.

You want historical fact? here ya go...

Let's start with the concept of hell, before "christianity" it didn't exist, Lucifer was the tempter working for god not against him. (according to the Hebrew belief structure). Hell actually sprung from the way the ancient Hebrew culture dealt with the unwanted in society. (this is proven by archeological findings and manuscripts) The ancient villages and towns had an outer ring around the city. This is where their wast was burned night and day. The outcasts of society were forced there to keep the fire going and weren't allowed in with the "norm" inside the village/town.

Now lets look at the fact that every element of christianity has been taken from somewhere else.

Archangels: Zoroastrianism (even many of the names of the angels in the bible were taken from this "father" to Hebrew/christian belief)

Virgin birth: There too many to mention them all but the best example and the one that gave most competition in christ's day is Isis and Horus.

"godson saving humanity": at least a half a dozen myths around the world have one (this includes the biblical myth).

The Hebrew people did NOT start out believing in the johova god. they started out with a mystical system called Mithra.

Ok... now we look at the life of christ:

There were at least 20+ other "messiahs" running around at the same time with their own followers and preachings. christ simply had a better campaign for the time.

Do you seriously believe the gospels in the bible are the whole truth and nothing but the truth? There were 30+ other gospels running around in the early church, all held to be as sacred as the next a roman priest spear headed what he called a "unifying" of the church by hand selecting the four you know and love. However, some of the others have been found and together they paint a bit of a different picture on christs life and his teachings...

my point here is not to destroy someone's faith... however, to make them understand that there is no "absolute truth" in faith. I am a witch and have been for nine years, neither you nor your faith have the right to tell me I'm going to "hell" for what I believe nor do I have the right to deny you your believe in such a place. Faith is just that... faith. It is everyone's individual right to believe what they will and no one has the right to tell them they are wrong.

Inversely, everyone has the right not to be bombarded by quotation of myth as some kind of prove they are on the road to hell either.

Ok... I'll step down from my soap box now

Enjoying the beginning of my three day weekend
