There is no evidence whatsoever that Moses wrote Genesis so get your "facts" straight. It is just a widely assumed thing with no real basis. Actually it would be rather strange since he would be speaking of himself in the third person most of the time. The prophecies you speak of are mostly only written to have actually been fulfilled by one man and if you look at it critically and do your research then you will see that he purposefully wrote the things he did to meet the prophecies. I don't have time to waste talking any further about this because apparently you only touch on a few things you have read or heard and haven't delved into any actual facts that disprove the authenticity of the bible enough to put forth an argument against them.

Half of the stuff in your former church isn't even in alignment with the Bible. Also, if you want some evidence FOR Christianity, just look at some of the historical prophecies. Some haven't been come to be yet, but many have, such as Daniel's prophecy of the Golden Statue and the many prophecies that told about the first coming of Jesus, which were written over a thousand years before Jesus's birth. Also, just putting it out there, only the smallest fragments of the epic of Gilgamesh were written before the assumed dating of Genesis, and the story of the Flood was most likely passed down orally, as the story takes place over a thousand years before the birth of Moses, who wrote Genesis.

Most of the violence being spread is because of the radicals who chose to do so, not the religion. In fact, most major religions promote peace and acceptance of people who don't believe the same as you. It's the radicals who go and ruin it for everyone. Take, for example, middle-eastern terrorist groups such as the Taliban. The Quran actually promotes religious freedom. It's a small minority of radical followers that kill to make everyone else believe what they believe. I'm not Muslim, and I'm not necessarily standing for any religion. I'm just saying that attacking someone's beliefs because you think they're wrong doesn't make you very much different then the religious radicals, does it?

oh,well said. there's another theory in the ET front, It is also said that ETs are not actually aliens but humans sent from the future. humans wont look or have similar features even just 20 to 40 years from now according to national geographic s survey. may be we just travel from the future give some good advice to the world leaders so that they make the world a better place. They are frequently sighted in the USof A, thats why may be its a place worth living.(thats just my idea) :P

And religion is the only thing that can keep a man sane so even if its a big fat lie , the morals that u learn keep u on track. so may be it was all planned by an intelligent being so that when society becomes hard to live with, in the future, when ppl. like u discourage other ppl. and pull them off track . there would be someone like me to at least make some sense and put some sense into ur brain. And whoTF is danielmiessler. so lame daniel, so lame.

WTF did i just read... this guy, who wrote this got time to mock the bible and be a douche bag at the same time. He is contradicting his own statement . many of his facts are true but equally, others aren't. Why the bible , why dont u shine some light into quran, bagwath geeta or something, bet u wont even understand them. What do u have against this religion dude!!(if u are one). why are u using ur limited knowledge in such fashion. you seriously have to read more , travel more or use the internet more. Make it more convincing the next time you write something. U sound like a girl arguing with another girl.

I mostly agree with you, but because religion is causing so much harm in this world it's important to show that the beliefs are not true. The attack is on the beliefs, not the people that hold them.

Atheists always use the same arguments, and I've heard the above AND below ones about 500 times each before. I have a comeback and a reason all of these arguments can be "disproved". You don't question it as long as the website says it's true and that's what you WANT to hear. I'm not saying it doesn't go both ways, either. I'm just saying, if it's what you WANT to believe, you will find evidence for it and ignore evidence against it regardless of your religion/theory of origin. You at least don't have to be demeaning to people who believe differently and act like they're on a lower level than you for doing so. That puts you on a lower level than anyone else.

First of all that is incorrect. There are 1.6 billion muslims and 2.18 Christians on this planet. Also, there are many muslims who don't know any different because they are forced to believe in Islam by their parents. Furthermore, Muslim families have much more children on average than Christian families, and this doesn't mean "Muhammed" had any more of an impact.

If the idea of God and Jesus help weak people have worth, and change for the better, then what's the harm? Religion is separate from state now. The only sad thing are those who feel pressured to believe in God in a certain way. We can all see God in our own ways and in our individual lives. It's really beautiful of people actually, to love each other so much they can't bear the idea of death. Or to feel so worthless or guilty that they can't give themselves worth all on their own. Religion can be used in bad ways, but when it comes to Christianity I think that long phase is finally over. People are just trying to love better. To believe that they are significant enough to be more than this short life. I believe we are all ignorant even when we think we know a lot. Let people live their spiritual lives, or their non spiritual lives. Usually both have good reasons for where they are emotionally in their lives.

Here's where the supposed significance of stories and accounts similar to the life of Jesus Christ that are believed to pre-date Jesus falls to the ground. The Word of God who later became Jesus Christ was with God and He already existed *as* God before the world existed, through whom God created the world *before* any of the myths and stories you raised as proof... ever existed. (John 1:1-3) So first of all, the well-laid out detailed plans that assigned Jesus Christ to save mankind, (God foreknowing that mankind would not be perfect, but would need a savior... as well as foreknowing even those who would be saved through His sacrifice)...predates all of the accounts you named... accounts which "borrowed" details from the planned events that would transpire at a later time in history's future regarding the TRUE Son of Man, Son of God who would be born of a virgin. Just as Satan influenced Eve to believe that she could ignore God's edicts, the deceiver who wanted to see his throne rise to the level of god... the FALSE religions that he inspired were based on the things which were yet to occur on Earth, but which had been carefully planned to occur. It was only for for striving to be like god himself that Satan patterned the religions he founded so closely in detail... to those events which he knew were to come later after Jesus' birth. How did Satan know what was to come?? He once resided in heaven, but through hot envy, he left his place as an angel who would have ministered to mankind, longing to be ministered to as a god himself... and so yes, he would have known what had been planned for mankind, whose destiny is to become true sons of God. So while Satan may have inspired mere stories and myths and sayings and religions in cultures that predated the TRUE events that were to come.... the genuine circumstances played out according to the plans of the TRUE God in their proper time.

Churches are evil — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 19:28:49 -0000

Bible is mostly written using metaphors.. The whole point is to read between the lines and that's what God has to tell you. I have a notebook where I write God's instructions as I read. There is mathematical evidence (base of 7) that the book is inspired by supernatural and in no way could be compiled by human mind. I have experienced God's supernatural work in my life. Bible didn't open for me right away but only after I really began loving God. However, I must say that I hate churches because they distort what Bible teaches and they make up their own rules on how to be a true christian and they view the world outside church with hate. They don't practice what they preach and they are working as home-attendants and cleaners and other worst jobs in the world.. They talk a lot of trash and are very hypocritical.

The majority of these: Jesus’s Story Is An Obvious Rehashing Of Numerous Previous Characters... are incorrect. The Greek ones that include Hercules, Dionysus are surely incorrect because the Greek Mythology is dead along with Egyptian Mythology.
Moving on to the religion of the Orientals, Buddhism was founded by a
man name Buddha, He is shown as a man/prophet who got the great gift of
apotheosis. When a person does not want to worship something they fix this problem by simply creating a god by the standards they want.

Moving all the way to the top of the page im going to talk about Noah. The Epic of Gilgamesh is not the only re-account of Noah's Ark. India has one and there are several other accounts. Noah's Ark is not actually dated correctly no one actually knows when it happened. So when you say that Noah's Ark is younger than The Epic of Gilgamesh you don't seem to know your facts.

@sion Your story on Paul is very incorrect. He did not steal from this Christ Myth he knew this Christ from a vision he also learned from a person who was in direct contact with christ he knew all the disciples that were alive at that time. To back this up even more I will give more stories of paul there is actully proof that he killed Christian's there is also proof that made disciples. So he did not make more on a myth but simply built more on a truth. thx all

Who ever made this page needs to do some more research because the Bible doesn't say Noah put one of every animal species on the arc it was 2. One male one female. Can't repopulate the earth by but fucking your way there. Get your facts right before you start ripping on something if you can't even read it properly. Didn't even bother reading the rest if you can't get one of the biggest events in the Bible correct and nether should anyone else. I like my faith being challenged because it helps me get a different perspective but this was disappointing.

Hello Everyone! Well I do believe in GOD or a CREATOR BUT I don't agree or necessarily believe in everything that the bible contains HOWEVER I do agree for what it stands for. It is a symbol of love and of peace and most importantly discipline and restraint. I shudder at the thought of a world without SOME TYPE of religious belief. I believe that we as mankind are so VAIN that we shutter at the thought that there is nothing after this life. It makes us feel insignificant. At the same time I believe that our very existence and biological makeup is far to perfect to have been an accident of evolution and or a coincidence. One example I always use is the difference of air and water for example is the difference of one molecule O2 and H20 (Both essential for life of ANY LIVING organism on earth on land or in the sea, its either OR and most times Both). Yes I do believe in God and yes I believe that the world is a much better place for the FEAR of God But No I don't believe in the Bible in it's entirety I believe that it was created to control man and create and restore order. Yes I am open to debate and comment on this subject at anytime and in fact welcome it.

Its not the wikipedia Just forget the website go read a book, there are lots of obvious religions before Jesus that were based on the same things, they were spread around as rumors and myths and someone tried to use the fact they were wide spread stories the same way they used the real people of the time to create a very tricky fictional book. They were hoping people would see older texts as confirmation of their creation, we have just FINALLY come to the point we can investigate and confidently say these religions are all copies of stories that were told for years, so far back that they weren't even written down at first. I am amazed how ignorant people can be to hold on to their faith when there is an obvious alternative. But from my experience its usually because people are lazy, bull headed, afraid, and completely egocentric.
There are actually studies that correlate lack of physical fitness with religion, seems those who are basing their logic in the real world are more worried about staying healthy and alive. Not to mention most credible intellectual minds, and creative minds gravitate away from religion in my observations.. It seems most of the people left in the churches are bigots, racists, homophobes, and a large portion of the deluded indoctrinated loss of potential :/ No offense to anyone who doesn't fall under this category I pray you see the level of ignorance in this religion one day, so we can fight the indoctrination and further advance our society. here's hoping :)
