your empty threat is ignored. you must follow the true word: shut up and stop jamming your church down my throat. if the only way you can convert people is by threatening damnation from an invisible source, you're only going to convert weak-minded individuals.

see? this is what i'm talking about...do these people honestly think they're going to convince someone by saying "ye all heathens ye be smited shall ye hell ye true word all ye follow or spend eternity with out ye true god ye worthless people"?

oh yes...start out by insulting me...great way of making someone believe whatever you're saying! [/HEAVY DRIPPING SARCASM IN CAPS]

Sorry, if you mean my post. It's just a satirical site. I'm not trying to offend anyone, just trying to lighten the mood a little.

Calm down :) It doesn't make fun of religion. It just mocks out the fundamentalists a bit.
 
the website is an insult which can only incite a flame war or a giggle fest. please don't tell me to calm down...i'm sitting at my computer typing...it's tough to get more calm.
 
ok, before a flame war starts maybe we can all just forget about the website for now. No one meant to offened anyone else here.
 
Maskirovka said:

Geez, I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. I truly didn't mean to....was just poking a little fun. Obviously it was taken the wrong way, so sorry again and just forget I posted it.
 
I wasn't referring to anyone specifically, I just saw a flame war brewing... mod sense you could say ;)
 
Its some sort of magic power you get when your a mod, but you have to stick you finger in the a: drive for 5mintues to get it.

5 pages away and you people thought this thread was dead didnt you? Well its not..yet. I forgot to post about Jesus's simalarities of the God-men I mentioned earlier:

Horus/Osiris of Egypt


In the Egyptian myth, Horus and his once-and-future Father, Osiris, are frequently interchangeable, as in “I and my Father are one.” Concerning Osiris, Walker says:

Of all savior-gods worshiped at the beginning of the Christian era, Osiris may have contributed
more details to the evolving Christ figure than any other. Already very old in Egypt, Osiris was
identified with nearly every other Egyptian god and was on the way to absorbing them all. He
had well over 200 divine names. He was called the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, God of Gods.
He was the Resurrection and the Life, the Good Shepherd, Eternity and Everlastingness, the god
who “made men and women to be born again.” Budge says, “From first to last, Osiris was to the
Egyptians the god-man who suffered, an died, and rose again, and reigned eternally in heaven.
They believed that they would inherit eternal life, just as he had done . . .”
Osiris’s coming was announced by Three Wise Men: the three stars Mintaka, Anilam, and
Alnitak in the belt of Orion, which point directly to Osiris’s star in the east, Sirius (Sothis),
significator of his birth . . .
Certainly Osiris was a prototypical Messiah, as well as a devoured Host. His flesh was eaten
in the form of communion cakes of wheat, the “plant of Truth.” . . . The cult of Osiris contributed
a number of ideas and phrases to the Bible. The 23rd Psalm copied an Egyptian text appealing
to Osiris the Good Shepherd to lead the deceased to the “green pastures” and “still waters” of the
nefer-nefer land, to restore the soul to the body, and to give protection in the valley of the shadow
of death (the Tuat). The Lord’s Prayer was prefigured by an Egyptian hymn to Osiris-Amen
beginning, “O Amen, O Amen, who are in heaven.” Amen was also invoked at the end of every
prayer.

As Col. James Chruchward naively exclaims, “The teachings of Osiris and Jesus are wonderfully alike. Many passages are identically the same, word for word.”

Osiris was also the god of the vine and a great travelling teacher who civilized the world. He was the ruler and judge of the dead. In his passion, Osiris was plotted against and killed by Set and “the 72.” Like that of Jesus, Osiris’s resurrection served to provide hope to all that they may do likewise and become eternal.

Osiris’s “son” or renewed incarnation, Horus, shares the following in common with Jesus:

--Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Merion December 25 in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.
--His earthly father was named “Seb” (“Joseph”).
--He was of royal descent.
--At at 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized having disappeared for 18 years.
--Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by “Anup the Baptizer” (“John the Baptist”), who was decapitated.
--He had 12 desciples, two of who were his “witnesses” and were named “Anup” and “Aan” (the two “Johns”).
--He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus (“El-Osiris”), from the dead.
--Horus walked on water.
--His personal epithet was “Iusa,” the “ever-becoming son” of “Ptah,” the “Father.” He was thus called “Holy Child.”
--He delivered a “Sermon on the Mount” and his followers recounted the “Sayings of Iusa.”
--Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
--He was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected.
--He was also the “Way, the Truth, the Light,” “Messiah,” “God’s Anointed Son,” “the “Son of Man,” the “Good Shepherd,” the “Lamb of God,” the “Word made flesh,” the “Word of Truth,” etc.
--He was “the Fisher” and was associated with the Fish (“Ichthys”), Lamb and Lion.
--He came to fulfill the Law.
--Horus was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One.”
--Like Jesus, “Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years.”

Furthermore, inscribed about 3,500 years ago [1500 years before Jesus’ alleged advent] on the walls of the Temple at Luxor were images of the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Birth and Adoration of Horus, with Thoth announcing to the Virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus; with Kneph the “Holy Ghost,” impregnating the virgin; and with the infant being attended bh three kings, or magi, bearing gifts. In addition, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis—the original “Madonna and Child.” As Massey says:

It was the Gnostic art that reproduced the Hathor-Meri and Horus of Egypt as the Virgin
and child-Christ of Rome . . . You poor idiotai, said the Gnostics [to the early Christians],
you have mistaken the mysteries of old for modern history, and accepted literally all that
was only meant mystically.

Dionysus/Bacchus

Dionysus or Bacchus is thought of as being Greek, but he is a remake of the Egyptian god Osiris, whose cult extended throughout a large part of the ancient world for thousands of years. Dionysus’s religion was well-developed in Thrace, northeast of Greece, and Phrygia, which became Galatia, where Attis also later reigned. Although a Dionysus is best remembered for the rowdy celebrations in his name, which was Latinized as Bacchus, he had many other functions and contributed several aspects to the Jesus character:

--Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger.
--He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles.
--He “rode in a triumphal procession on an ass.”
--He was a sacred king killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification.
--Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25.
--He was the God of the Vine, and turned water into wine.
--He was called “King of Kings” and “God of Gods.”
--He was considered the “Only Begotten Son,” Savior,” “Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega.”
--He was identified with the Ram or Lamb.
--His sacrificial title of “Dendrites” or “Young Man of the Tree” intimates he was hung on a tree or crucified.

As Walker says, Dionysus was “a prototype of Christ with a cult center at Jerusalem,” where during the 1st century BCE he was worshiped by Jews . . . Dionysus/Bacchus’s symbol was “IHS” or “IES,” which became “Iesus” or “Jesus.” The “IHS” is used to this day in Catholic liturgy and iconography.

There is tons and tons of simlarities that Jesus was based on, too many to list here.

my GOD man, this WAS a dead thread! Why, WHY bring it back?!?

Why not? ;) Sorry couldnt resist posting it...it can die now..bye bye thread..
 
someone close this before someone brings it back....now we have to watch it die for days...and risk someone who hasn't read it adding their contribution...or risk it becoming a "loL i brawt iT bak agYIN, GyZ~! hawr!"

please please close it.

and if you're going to let it stay, please mchammer...no more geocities or tripod sites as references...
 
why kill it? This was one of the best threads ive seen here for a while. (Ive been here a while, just today i figured out my password again). Mchammer how do u know that info is reliable? I had never heard of it before.. Also are u religious or not? by your post i seems that something must have happened on the 25 of december for there to be so many religions that have it as the birthday. Are you trying to prove for or against christianity?

For the record im an athiest, but for the same reasons that people have posted about 200 times before on this thread so i wont repeat them.
 
nobody posted here for at least a week...then it comes back with some geocities site info...not a good reason to revive it.
 
well i dunno, if someone can find a more reliable site with that info I think that it was a good idea. But i've been looking and cant find anything yet. Mayb a .org site would be a better source.
 
ugh i hate this thread .. can't we just like stop posting?



------------ END OF THREAD ------------

Well Ive read the exact samething in a couple of books, that Jesus is actually based on abunch of different pagan gods. It seems to make sense and is a popular theory. I was going to type some of the info from the book, (and I gave a link to the book) but someone on the sciforums.com recommended that site and it had all of the same info on here so I just throw it on here. As far as it being a geocities website..so what? How does it make it anyless reliable? Yes any idiot can type up a geocity site but this one seems legit. Many arguments hit on by all of us can be found on this site:
http://www.geocities.com/inquisitive79/

There is also links to other sites, articles and such and they do site their info.
