Comments on: Would All These People Have Died If They Had Believed Jesus Was Just Another Magician Of That Day?

Jesus was considered a magician by ancient Christians – in fact there are paintings and sculptures of Jesus waving a magic wand.
Many historians speculate Jesus was crucified because he was practicing magic – something that was illegal in those times.

I think Jesus may have genuinely felt that he was God, but so have many other people. If his followers “believed” that Jesus was God, it does not necessarily reflect any truth that Jesus is God, but it simply says that they passionately believed that Jesus, as he claimed, was God.
Whether or not someone is willing to die for their cause does not automatically reflect the truth of their claims.

I explain it by expressing my utmost sympathy for those poor rancid souls.
Here’s an interesting aside: Jesus got up at the dinner table and said “Except ye eat my flesh.” It was his way of calling them maggots, but they didn’t get it.
Then, with a wink and a nod, Jesus turned and said “Now whistle us a tune St. Matthew.”
What a bunch of abject idiots.

an aetheist may say that this is a perfect example of religeons disregard for human life, Af-ghanistan is a religeous conflict, or fueled one one side by religeon, i was lead to believe religeon was supposed to preach against evil however i think that the holy men and women of the world should stand back and realise thier own hypocrisy.
