I consider myself pretty religious but Mick hasn't offended me yet. And looking at the pics of that monstrosity that someone thought represented Jesus I gotta wonder if he wouldn't have lit the match himself if he happened to see it (Jesus, not Mick).
strange also, it seems the more statues that are built of the late JC the more white he gets.The holy land is in North Africa.Next thing you know Americans will depict him like joe the plumber,don't feel bad when I was a kid my teacher told the class that JC was probably an
Englishman. And then I found out he was also a jew ,I thought he would look like "Fagin" in the movie Oliver Twist.
I guess it is quite possable that he actually lived at one time, there is very little evidence, because the bible was not even started until 400 years after his death ,so the stories were probably just that ,stories.
And you all know how stories get a little more twisted as it's retold time after time,they just change the storie to fit the times ,King James ? what did he know ? the Mormans ? old test new test.
If you want to believe it is your desicion of course.
I'm giving you my reasons for not believing, because I think I'm right ,any harm in that ? at the same time I will try and convince you to look at other books instead of just the bible.Ther are a bunch of them out there all written by non believers , and they share there reasons for not believing. I'm just a push over for the truth.
