The origins of the New Testament are fascinating, starting with the council of Nicea in which Emperor Constantine tried to codify what Christianity was.

The New Testament itself was not locked down until 300 years later with some books being included then rejected and then included others were in then finally out whilst some never made it.

In short the bible maybe the word of God but mankind had a big hand in it and skewed it for its on purposes. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene being one of the rejected books which gave woman a far more prominent role in the life and death of Jesus.

Do I believe no, although I do believe there was an anti Roman political agitator called Jesus who was the Martin Luther King of his day.

Yes, very good i compare Jesus to Ghandi

Would God create Benteke?

Jesus said; “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Benteke to get the ball in the net.”

Matthew 19:24

Man has been worshipping things since we had the capacity to think about such abstract ideas.
'God' is just one that was successfully spread by circumstance across the world and into the present day.
Remember that a big chunk of follower are Catholics, and Catholics have been controlled and indoctrinated using fear for centuries.

I am firmly with Dawkins. He says we should celebrate life and even death since we are so statistically lucky to get the experience.
Who needs miracles? Look around you. Is existence not enough?

Don't know if there is a god or not, how can we? (Although sometimes I sense he is tutting at me!)
Mind you I don't accept that the universe spontaneously burst into existence either.

I believe that Easter is the best holiday as we have dinner with family and friends, no stressing over presents, choccy eggs for the kids, totally relaxed and no stress,wake up on Easter Monday with the mother of all hangovers, religion I just don't believe.

There is no God (Christian or otherwise) and religion is nothing but archaic superstition to help our ancestors explain nature and death. Hopefully the human race will grow out of it eventually, given all the hurt perpetrated in its name.

 


Goodness is what you do. Not who you pray to.
