Sorry but I'll trust the opinion of men and women with PhDs who graded my papers in college over someone who questions whether a gif. is an actual 'miracle' or not.:smt073 Lookup Roman historians Tacitus and Seutonius, genius. Or try the Talmud. Even the Jews themselves reference a historical figure named Yeshu, and they don't even believe he was the messiah. But I know your 'information' about the Bible probably came from the barbershop, or the pseudo intellectuals hanging out on the corner in your 'hood. I'm not mad at ya. Do more reading and less dissing.
Who are these credible historians ?....list them.... Im pulling your hoe card because you are a sucka on here kissing ass.
ALL religion is a matter of faith. The historical record that Jesus the man did indeed exist far outweighs any historical scholarship that the entire gospels and histories of the New Testament are total myth, mainly because of the fact the Greek/Roman/Biblical histories reference many of the same events from that period. Son of God?? That's a religious question; faith.
This what your biblos aka bible says about Faith.. http://mobile.biblegateway.com/passage/index.php?search=Hebrews+11:1&version=KJV You are a joke!
Why the fuck are we talking about black Jesus?? The only Jesus i care about is the one who lives down stairs from me. Him and his cousin Hector owe me 50 bucks!
As an agnostic/atheist/it doesnt matter if there's a god or gods type of person, I find it odd as hell when others who don't believe feel it necessary to insult the beliefs of people who do - it seems like the reverse of the folks who think their own religion is THE one and want to push it on everyone - and it seems to me that it must stem from the same need to have their own perspective backed up and approved of by others. Personally, I don't care if someone believes in one god, or ninety seven gods and goddesses or worships the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It's none of my business, and as long as they are good and happy people, it's surely no skin off my nose. But then I'm ancient, and clearly senile - a card carrying member of the DPG so my opinion is obviously easily dismissed.
I don't want to 'jack this thread more than it's already been..this started when when someone(!) was thrown off by a BLACK JESUS GIF.:-?. taken from a comedy sketch. Since you're brainiac Al Jahiz, you tell me what you think that link said about faith?? I still can't believe you're getting all twisted in knots about the definition of 'faith'. IMO you're one of those cats who has religion tourette's syndrome. Whenever someone makes an oblique reference to religion even as sarcasm, dudes like you go off the deep end. Don't worry, Black Jesus will still forgive your sins. [YOUTUBE]HPCbK8skyFE[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]agzka_00CX0[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]PScnZMmhjxw[/YOUTUBE]
