There is an understandable reluctance among Christians and Jews to attribute some of their philosophical origins to Zoroastrianism. It is more reasonable to say they arose together or by similar inspiration. To say that the eldest (Zoroastrianism) was influenced by Christianity and Judaism is laughable. These ideas were attested to as being part of Zoroastrianism by ancient Greek writers long before Christianity or Judaism as we know it existed.

Go look at how his fans kiss his ASS. I knew him personally and let's just say he absolutely does not practice what he preaches. He even laughed at his fans and says, "my flock know my voice.

For example: The Bible does not claim that Mary was impregnated. This would imply sexual intercourse. However Rhea being a Vestal Virgin does not mean that her children were not the product of Sexual intercourse. They were according to the story. Jesus and Romulus do not match. mmcelhaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567242628894011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767816867480783958.post-22654608566153573662016-12-09T13:22:06.116-08:002016-12-09T13:22:06.116-08:00• Romulus’s mother Rhea was a Vestal virgin

The methods in which the Romans used to manipulate public devotion - via creation “myths”, etc. - proved to be very effective. But the then nearly 800 year old tale of Romulus may not have been so well known to Jews in Judaea in Jesus’ time. In any case, I don’t think it would be a stretch to imagine that Jesus himself learned of the tales of Rome’s founding, and that he drew upon it - at times nearly verbatim? - in order to start his own movement, being that the basic scaffolding of this creation story proved to be so compelling to the poor and uneducated people of that era (and in any era).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273598760310944531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767816867480783958.post-58185583827351924832016-11-21T15:57:27.912-08:002016-11-21T15:57:27.912-08:00Good stuff Marcus!

Atheists are the minority in this world. There are more religious people than there are Atheists. Atheists are more likely to be bullied and looked down upon. Not the other way around. I doubt anyone would react in such a gross way if they encountered a person reading a bible in public. They most likely wouldn't care, and just go about their business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767816867480783958.post-4458639743146428032016-11-05T20:31:13.580-07:002016-11-05T20:31:13.580-07:00Who said that this cartoon is representing all ath...Who said that this cartoon is representing all atheist?mmcelhaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567242628894011776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767816867480783958.post-19966523749222491992016-11-05T19:57:34.562-07:002016-11-05T19:57:34.562-07:00You haven't met every atheist in the world.You haven't met every atheist in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767816867480783958.post-89876406576784800162016-10-22T22:22:21.032-07:002016-10-22T22:22:21.032-07:00Not what I was expecting.

Dawkins said from the start he wasn't comfortable putting a definite number on the probability of God's existance and would rather leave it at "very unlikely". Stein sugested 99%, Dawkins was like "ok that'll do. 99, why not?" And then Stein went on and on about "why not this number? Why not that number?" 99 was STEIN'S sugestion in the first place. <br /><br />Does Stein just, never remember the last thing he said?
