    Default Why do people still believe in Jesus and Christianity?

    It's been obliterated by scholars for over a hundred years. We know that Jesus himself is most likely pure myth.

    because they choose to not agree with you.....it happens a lot, I am sure.....
    Isaiah 6:5
    “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

    Most likely pure myth? Is that the same as saying all atheists are mostly like pure baby killers?

    The reason 2 Billion people believe in Jesus and Christianity is the same reason why 2 Billion people believe in Muhammad and Islam or 500 million people believe in Buddha.

    The reason being that religion is the biggest and longest running con game in human history.

    That line probably sounded really cool when you were smoking pot with your friend's in your mom's basement. Now, not so much.

    Religion exists to control the masses and to suck money out of them.

    I think the chances that Jesus didn't exist are about zero. Other than that, it rather depends what you mean by Christianity. What you have in the 'States is very far from that.

    I'm not sure how the OP defines it, but I define Christianity as the belief that Jesus exists and is exactly who he says he is (per the Holy Bible).

    I'd have though that if you believed that, you'd take some notice of what he said, but all you care about is money.

    No argumentation presented. Nothing of note to respond to.

    Of course "Jesus" was a common name (well, in the language of the time).

    Today Jesús is extremely common.

    Interesting. Who owns the correct Christianity?
    Global Warming violates the 1st LoT by claiming a magical creation of thermal energy out of nothing, in the form of a temperature increase, which is somehow caused by a magical substance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates Stefan-Boltzmann and black body science by claiming that an increase in earth's temperature is somehow caused by a decrease in earth's radiance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates the 2nd LoT by claiming that the cooler atmosphere somehow heats the warmer earth's surface.
