Or:

F. Jesus never existed (he could've been someone's imaginary friend).

Lol, Yabby- if all these so-called "prophets" had been medicated we'd probably be all atheists.

Celivia, if you think about it, most of the religious nuts
on here, are in fact atheists bar one.

I take a bit of an agnostic position. Any so called
god is free to write his commandments on the face of the
moon, for all of us to see. None has ever bothered.

If one ever does, I'm sure we will all pay attention.

Until then, I'd say its far more probable that the
normal criteria apply. Deluded humans are a dime a
dozen... No wonder that selling snake oil is such
a thriving business!

Yes Cilvia,why are there no modern prophets or messiahs?The answer is that modern science would soon reveal the lie.

Religion is the dummy from which we feeble humans must suckle from to comfort our inadaquate feelings.

We can have ethical courageous people without all the fantacy of the religious dogma.

Something I read recently:

“He was impaled by that same single-mindedness which is a form of tunnel vision.Buddhism was too subtle for him then as it is today… To the evolved mind of the Gautama Buddha any desire was obscene, even the desire for God”

Logic, first you said Israel and secondly you certainly have a different take on pre-Roman mid-east history. It was one of tribal infighting and religious sect wars. And social and religious tolerance would not have had the Romans seeing the area ripe for their version of law and order.

All your answers show how unsettled you all become when confronted with the person of Jesus.

Humour is a natural response to dodge the question; so is sarcasm and personal attack.

TR suggests:
“… the Gospels are not historical accounts but are in fact mythological accounts.

Which particular book? Give us some specifics.

Logic asks:
How much of Christianity was changed at Nicea?

None.
My understanding is that Nicea settled different views and emerging new philosophies that arose post Gospel accounts. Not one word was changed from the life, death, resurrection, and future coming of Jesus.

The trinity concept of God for example is present throughout the Old and New Testaments; from Genesis to Revelation. It was a matter for the newly formed Church to grasp that.

Same goes with the deity of Christ. Some said He was just human, others insistyed He was totally divine; the reality has always been that He was both: "God incarnate". But they had to come to that consensus.

So is Christianity a human invention? The answer is definitely NO.

Celivia suggests,

“Most likely E.
Just another case of schizophrenia”

Hard to prove but an honest answer. Similar to option b) Lunatic


Yabby,
When you look in a mirror what do you see? A modern monkey with a more developed brain?

Arjay,
“…why are there no modern prophets or messiahs?”

Historically speaking there has been and are hundreds if not thousands of false ones.

But only one Jesus.

Can science prove Him wrong?
