Title: Religion of Peace targets Sweden
Post by WebsterMark on 04/07/17 at 15:16:20

One thing I found out working for Swedes, when they uncork that temper they keep bottled down, they really make up for lost ground. Let's see if they have more fortitude than the French when they get whacked.

I'm sure they will have equal fortitude to the French,.. and they will punish the guilty and not the innocent.

Why does your definition of fortitude require painting all with one brush?...

I have Egzaclee  One Hundred boxes out of a total run of a thousand. Each box contains food and supplies for two days, or ehh, maybe a bomb, ehh? So far, it seems that about three percent are the big problem, so, about three percent explode
So, they are free,the stipulations are, the boxes have to be in your house and you have to live there , no vacation for you right now..
So, how many do you want stacked in your house?
Gee whiz, it Might be okay,, but boy,, when things go wrong, they go really wrong.
I understand that the people who don't understand OUR Role in creating the problem don't understand the magnitude of it either.

After one of the French attacks (hard to keep track of them) the French President talked real tough but essentially did nothing.

My brush is just the right size when it comes to the Religion of Peace. When there's a bombing or the more recent truck attacks, grab that big Islam brush and take a swipe; odds are pretty good you got it right.

They are killers.

Let me ask you the same question re: believers....
You find them ALL receiptants of a what, a sad weakness, below your own proclaimed self awareness of the workings of this world....
Is that a broad brush dipped into contempt you paint with?

Dawg, if you don't like my contempt, you really shouldn't egg me on...
In doing so, I must assume you enjoy it...

You may believe your enlightenment to make you superior,... but keep in mind that it is 99% the result of where you are from and who you know.
Had you been born in the Middle East, chances are 99% you would be Muslim, and equally devout...  This is no coincidence...
Religious beliefs are cultural...
The God that speaks to you, is a white, middle class, American God...

I don't expect any real God would define himself the way.
Is the image of Jesus depicted in your church, blond haired and blue eyed?...
... or does he look more like Osama Bib Laden?...
He was an Arabic Jew... if he was a real person.
He is the one you would look at suspiciously at the airport.
He's the one you'd want to deport.

Egg you on?????
You mean to differ and engage based sharing of dialogue within puts me in bad form, gee....
You need a safe zone  ;D

Sorry, I couldn't resist, my bad.....  ;)

I would agree with you assessment to a degree, however it seems you paint all beliefs as a less superior mindset than what you give to yourself....

As to your more specific point about location being a major factor in "choosing" a belief, isn't that true of pert near everything....
Do you go to FOX to learn, or MSNBC, Texas, or New York?
I feel this enflunce is extended to everyone, everyday, not just to religious folk....
Oh, and BTW, Jesus was born in that region you referenced and his teachings spread from there, it wasn't American made as you seem to allude.
And again, you paint all folk with one claim, of those who want vetting, as anti sumtin, why?
You yourself afford your "stereo typing" of Christians as white angry males it seems, blaming them for all the intolerance in this world, it appears.

PS: if you reply, perhaps you need to do the colored text/answer thingy  ;D
PSS: YES.... I like being challenged on my beliefs, so please, give me your best shot  :)

I beg to differ.  He deflected the question poised by Raydawg and in the process very eloquently revealed his prejudice & intolerance for someone holding a different opinion them himself.  

Raydawg inquired about believers as in a belief in a divine entity and he yet again went on the offense on Christians.  Why no negative comments about Allah, or any other religions?

Bot, in all sincerity I ask, why do you answer a question with a question?
No kidding, it reminds me of grade school when we use to answer a taunt with, " I know you are, but what am I?"

I said I have no qualms about others asking me questions about my faith, fact is, I said I appreciate it for it makes me look at my faith with more scrunity .....
However to remark Jesus is like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy shows your prejudice and lack of a meritable argument.

Do you believe the man called Jesus was crucified on a cross?

Firstly,.. he said I should own it,.. and I replied "You got it"...
That's answering in the affirmative.
I will own that.  Now, will he own his bigotry?...

I'm not sure if Jesus was a real person or not.
No one is... but, I'm pretty sure he wasn't...

The books about him were written 50 to 200 years after he was supposed to have died by people that never met him.
Of the several hundred books written, they were selectively edited down by people with sympathies to the Roman agenda... I believe, with the intention of incorporating the Christian mythology into Rome, with the Vatican as it's arbiter.
Can you imagine a better incentive to manipulate a story to suit an agenda?...
As best I can understand,.. "Jesus" is a compilation of tales and events, of many prophets...
Look at the parallels to the Hindu, Mithra...


Born 1500 years before Jesus... :-?

Quote:
Mithra has the following in common with the Jesus character:

   Mithra was born on December 25th of the virgin Anahita.
   The babe was wrapped in swaddling clothes, placed in a manger and attended by shepherds.
   He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
   He had 12 companions or "disciples."
   He performed miracles.
   As the "great bull of the Sun," Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace.
   Mithra ascending to heaven in his solar cart, with sun symbolHe ascended to heaven.
   Mithra was viewed as the Good Shepherd, the "Way, the Truth and the Light," the Redeemer, the Savior, the Messiah.
   Mithra is omniscient, as he "hears all, sees all, knows all: none can deceive him."
   He was identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.
   His sacred day was Sunday, "the Lord's Day," hundreds of years before the appearance of Christ.
   His religion had a eucharist or "Lord's Supper."
   Mithra "sets his marks on the foreheads of his soldiers."
   Mithraism emphasized baptism.


The story is undeniably, second hand...
Christians actually worship, Mithra... a Hindu God...

Post by MnSpring on 04/08/17 at 19:05:05


" ...Religious beliefs are cultural… "

Yep !    (Mostly)

Grade School, Mass   EVERY   MORNING,   HAD  TO  GO !
High School,  (Catholic Boarding School)
MASS,   Every  Morning.
Did  NOT, have to go, (but if you did, or not), it WAS  kept track of!

Every week, was a,  ‘retreat’,
You did NOT  talk, you just  Listened, and, ‘prayed’.
It was,  ‘Volunteer’,  (each week)

Each, 6-8 Weeks,
  (Those who were recorded as,  NOT,  attending Mass,   Every DAY)
Were,  REQUIRED, to do a,  ‘Retreat’.

(As everyone remembers, in H.S., their were  groups of students,
which had subsets of groups, which had subsets of groups, etc.)
And  probably more in a  environment, where they were all living together,  24/7.
Needless to say, the,  ‘Forced’  group, of students,
to the, forced,  ‘retreat’, were all mostly the same, in their ideas.

Two of the BEST,  comments (during retreat, when a  student was allowed to talk)

“ Father,  why, are only  Catholics, going to Heaven when they die.
Are all Protestants,  Methodists, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, etc.,
going to HELL,  because they are Not,  Catholic?”


Answer was  basally:   ’Sit Down and Shut Up”

Another question was posed, when the, ‘Father’, was stating how,
“EVERY  CATHOLIC, should  GIVE, 10%  of their  Earnings  to the,  Catholic  Church.
Because ALL   Catholics, need to  Sacrifice, for the  Catholic  Religion.”

And the question was:
“Father, why do you drive a  new  Lincoln  Continental,
to do your  retreats, why do you not drive a  VW  Beetle?”


Again, Answer was  basally:   ’Sit Down and Shut Up”

So their is the base of, ‘learning’, how things go.
Religions,   ANY,   No  Problem.

BIG   PROBLEM,
With the ONE,  which says:
I  KILL  YOU, if you do not believe.
 I  KILL  YOU,  if you believe differently.
  I KILL,  ALL,  people that have different sexual preferences.
   I  KILL  ALL,  Women, who does not  do   EXACTLY  as  I   SAY.

Gee,  there was a a  TROLL,  who said,  Basically,
 “… as long as that  religion does no  harm…”

Interesting, some people here,  
WANT,  the,   “I  KILL YOU ….” ’S
Living Next  Door to them.

Why ???????
Is it because, Chicken Noodle  News,  said so. ?
Is it because, it is just the opposite. ?
Is it because they can not, SEE, what is  happening.  ?
Which is it ??   Don’t Know.

DO  KNOW,
The, “I  KILL  YOU’s”,
will NOT,  be living  next to me.

Not sure if you believe the text of what you listed, or how you confirm something that predates what you find skeptical, looks contradictory to me.
Seems the odds would surely favor the reavealing hoax, after all these years of scrunity, re: Jesus.
As science improves, it appears it's able to substantiate some historical revelance to archaeological discoveries, and we aren't even talking about the odds to the prophecy that have transpired.

I don't need "proof" however, to justify my belief, as I honestly believe it can not be measured in terms of evidence, but goes to a much deeper part of me than I can describe.
You shared yesterday you thought it sad folks need to believe in a fairytale....
I find it sad that I can't help you see what I do, but too, I think that is what defines faith.

I appreciate you taking the time to share, I really do....
I hope your choices in life provides you with whatever it is you believe.  :)

How do you know this?  You read indirect writings pased down for generations which were originally verbally passed down for thousands of years right? How do you know when Mithra's story was written, it wasn't changed to match the story of a man nam d Jesus of Nazareth? There's no significant original written record from 1500 BC.

And, I don't have time to read up on yhis right now, but I thought Mithra was more along the lines of one of the Roman Gods. I don't recall anyone claiming this was a human being who walked the earth.

Also, there's no real doubt Jesus of Nazareth existed as a person from antiquity. There's non-biblical evidence to support this. If you doubt his existence, you would have to doubt the existence of every historical figure from antiquity.

There are principles & beliefs in various parts of society which I find unacceptable.  I am comfortable with that fact and make no apologies.  I have always maintained it is imperative remain objective.  Primarily, I do not believe in altruism or collectivism in any capacity.

The primary issue is the left prides itself on being tolerant as long as those beliefs do not differ from their opinions.  I cannot comprehend why the left preaches we must be accepting of everyone; however, yet people who believe in Christianity are intolerable.

Romans adopted many gods from other cultures, including Mithra and Jesus... Whatever would pacify the populace...

aw.....retroactive plagiarism IS a historical constant. The lives of historical figures from antiquity are constantly being reimagined.

You're the one letting your prejudice block logic. You sound like you believe a bunch of good writers got together 2000 years ago and conspired to write a fictional story about a man they named Jesus. Manuscripts and letters go back, as you said, to 300 CE. These are from different writers spread out over a fairly large geographical region. Other historical figures with the same basic source of information behind them are assumed to be real. Why would you assume this guy to be any different?

Title: Re: Religion of Peace targets Sweden
Post by WebsterMark on 04/10/17 at 05:33:27

What you can do however is to say this man Jesus was a con-man. Like a ancient day Jim Jones, he conned large numbers of people into believing him, faked his death etc.. Later, dozens of those people wrote letters about him which later became the new testament. By luck, even older manuscripts were found (some of what we call the old testament today) that predicted events close enough to what the new testament writers fabricated that it even furthers cemented his legacy.

If you want to make that argument, that makes sense. That's the argument you should be making. But the argument Jesus of Nazareth was never a human being would mean you must deny the existence of hundreds of historical figures with equal or even less indirect evidence they lived.

All these are references to the man Christians worship,... not the man himself...

None of them could possibly have known the man himself, only the legend.
Many gods can be evidenced through legend...
All of them, in fact....

Look who Josephus worked for...  Rome,.. so much so that he was adopted by the Flavius family...
They selectively compiled and edited the Jesus story to suit the needs of Rome.
The Jesus story, chronologically mirrors the activities of Titus Flavius,... and there are Roman monuments that refer to Titus as the" Son of God"...

I'm not a bible scholar, but wiki says...

Quote:
In Christian Bibles, the New Testament Gospels were derived from oral traditions in the second half of the first century CE. Riches says that:
Scholars have attempted to reconstruct something of the history of the oral traditions behind the Gospels, but the results have not been too encouraging. The period of transmission is short: less than 40 years passed between the death of Jesus and the writing of Mark's Gospel. This means that there was little time for oral traditions to assume fixed form.[21]

I have the understanding that at least a few of the books were written by the apostles who knew Jesus directly.

All these are references to the man Christians worship,... not the man himself...
..and all were written well after Jesus supposed death...
None of them could possibly have known the man himself, only the legend.
Many gods can be evidenced through legend...

You sound like Jog talking about The Pentagon now.....conspiracies to keep the masses at bay.

So no writings from more than a couple hundred years can be trusted?...

But you trust what you read about Josephus working for Rome? And you extrapolate that into assuming he wrote lies? You say these were lies written to suit Rome's purposes and you base that on.....what? Things you read that others wrote who have just as much of an agenda as you do.

Below is some interesting information. But let's face it, none of us are historians much less ancient manuscripts historians. There's only so much we can determine because everyone has an agenda. I have as much reason to doubt what Sew finds to link as he has to doubt what I pasted below. All we can do is read through it and make our best judgement unless we happen to be experts in that field. (now, if you want to talk about indoor air quality in North American food processing facilities, I'm your guy)

The Number of New Testament Manuscripts Compared with Other Ancient Books

In terms of quantity, the New Testament is represented far more than any other piece of ancient literature. Consider the known manuscripts of four well known Greek and Roman works: Homer was the earliest and most popular author of the ancient Greek world. His book, The Illiad, dates to 750 BC. To date, 647 manuscripts of this book have been found. Only 190 contain a complete copy. When compared to other classical Greek writing, Homer’s work is an exception. Copies of his work are much more plentiful than other ancient books. For example, Caesar’s Gallic War, dates to 50 BC. Only 9-10 manuscripts exist with the earliest copy dating to 900 AD. Thucydides’ Peloponnesian War dates to 450 BC. Eight manuscripts have been found with the earliest copy dating to 900 AD. (There are some fragments of this book that date to the time of Jesus.) Finally, Tacitus’ Histories was written in 100 AD. Only two manuscripts are available. One dates to 800 AD, the other to 1000 AD.  

In light of this, the number of ancient writings containing the New Testament is staggering. To date, over 5800 Greek New Testament fragments have been found (Taylor, 2012). Over 10,000 Latin New Testament manuscripts dating from the 2nd to 16th century have been located. The earliest are in fragments that cover a substantial amount of the New Testament. Some manuscripts have also been found in a number of other languages, including Coptic, Syriac, Gothic, and Arabic. Taking all languages together, over 25,000 handwritten copies of the New Testament have been recovered. But there is more. Almost the entire New Testament could be reproduced by quotes from the ancient church fathers. “So extensive are these citations that if all other sources for our knowledge of the text of the New Testament were destroyed, they would be sufficient alone for the reconstruction of practically the entire New Testament” (Metzger & Ehrman, 2005).

"You-Boob", is  STILL,   'YOU-BOOB"
    Regardless of how, 'polished' a  presentation is.

Remember,  Anybody,  that is  ANYBODY,
Can post, Anything,  that is  ANYTHING.
      On the 'you-boob-tub' !

One could  produce that  same slanted, 'boob-tub'  video.  
And from the same POV,
just  substitute,  'Muslim", for Christianity.

AND,  Exactly where are,  Today's, Christians,
or ANY  other 'religion', (Except  ONE), Saying/Doing:

    "I  KILL YOU  IF YOU   . . . . . . . . "

Jesus Real ?  Religion of, ‘peace’ ?

Well, their, was a  human  on this earth called  Jesus.  It is  documented in many places, as to his travels with his uncle,  ( today a, ’teenager’), then, a, ‘young adult’. (Mostly for  Lead  Mining, in what is now the UK)

Was his Mother a,  ‘Virgin”  ?
(Remember when a, Nike missile base, was in a local small town,  Bunch of  18-20 year old soldiers in town. A 17 year old girl, got, Pregnant, from,  ’Swimming in a  public pool’.)

Were other things he did, ’Spun’,  (Like today), or did they change with interpretation over the years?
Really does not matter,   (Unless you are, ’selling’, another religion), because the believers, ‘believe’.

Were not ALL,  Other religions, dealt with the same way ?

(Well except one that says: ‘I  KILL  YOU . . . . . . “)

Things DO, change, as we learn more.  
Earth Flat, Sun revolves around the Earth, Penicillin.  etc. etc. etc.

Some still follow, ‘old’ ways.
Like  a,  ‘wise’ person, who used to determine a certain animal, ‘clean’, because he blessed/killed it.
Many people still only eat, ‘Kosher’, meat.
Even knowing that, any, (approved meat) is  safe.   It is the belief they follow.

And, Tomorrow,  (can’t do it yet, only  visualize it), someone will hold a, real Tesseract, in their hand.

So,  just perhaps, when most people said: “The Earth is Flat”.
And a Few said:  “Biased on this and that, I think it is Round”.
Then most said:  “The Sun goes around the Earth”
And a Few said: “Biased on this and that, I think the Earth revolves around the Sun”.

Today, some say: “Religion of  Peace”.
And others say: “Biased on this and that, I think  you are wrong”.
Please name, ONE, other, ‘belief’,
that,  TODAY, says:
  “I  KILL  YOU  . . . . . "
