If you Don't Believe in Him Why Do People USe his name, Jesus?

[curling]

Yes, I know. That's where the whole story loses me quite frankly. I respect your devotions though brother. I just hope you have the same respect for those of us who havn't yet "seen the light" so to speak. I actually want to believe in all of that stuff. The problem with me though is twofold: 1. I was raised Roman Catholic, and went to Catholic School all my life where they pretty much BEAT that shit into your head, and any questioning of their teachings are simply blasphemous. In other words, you are just supposed to take their word for it. Being extremely limited in the naivit
e' department, I had a hard time doing that to say the least. 2. I've never seen any signifigant evidence that would make me believe that anything associated with Jesus AFTER the cruicifiction is anything more than fiction bro. No offense.

None taken. I understand where you are coming from about the Catholic thing. That is all religion (and I don't get into man made up religion much)and I also didn't agree with them(congregation) for not discussing or even letting the congregation read the Bible without a priest "helping them understand it"(that is the Holy Spirit's job). Because if was too scared to acknowledge him before but not after.

As far as truth about believing in the resurection. How is this? Peter denied knowing Christ three times before Christ was crucified. But he saw something that made so devout that he was crucified upside down for his believe of Christ. That tells me that he saw him rise again knowing that he was indeed the Son of God.

when talking about the mother Mary......... why do they always have to bring up that she hasn't been getting any sex?

I mean, damn....... those religious folks are ALWAYS talking about sex and this woman, JESUS CHRIST!

Was Josef gay or what?

GinNJuice Damn You, Curling......

GinNJuice Damn You, Curling......

answer my question!

Mary did have sex with Joseph matter of fact she had some other kids with him after Jesus was born. He did not however have sex with Mary until Jesus was born. The catholics say she never did but that is untrue she did but after Jesus was born.

Well, you didn't answer my questioin about WHY people are always talking about this woman's sexual status......

....but...

Since you brought it up, don't you think it would have been a real let-down for Mary to have sex with a gay-joseph? I mean, GinNJuice Damn It, God must have had a really big schlong.... and he had Mary first right?...... anthing less would be pretty disappointing, I would think........ what are your thoughts, curling?

Christians don't believe in witches yet they celebrate halloween. Agnostics don't bleieve in god yet use his name. If you don't like it, I am very afraid that you will have to lump it.

The major flaw with this arguement is that you're accepting everything that is in the bible as fact. Sure there may have been some kind of truth to certain parts of the bible(certain individuals and places), that I'm not debating. But to believe in the miracles stated in the bible is akin to believing that David Blaine can really levitate. In fact if he existed back then I believe we'd all be saying "David Blaine" instead of "Jesus Christ"...

I wonder if she let him put it in her forbidden spot.
