Supposedly, The Roman Empire orchestrated the Jesus HOAX to control the masses ?

[dunkan5rings]

Plausible, probably true.

They say Jesus was real but everything after that was complete fabrication to steer and control the sheep.

If you REALLY beLIEve Jesus "turned water into wine", "cured the blind", and "walked on water", you're whacked-out on some Jim Jones shit.

[Robceltsfan]

New angle for you. I like it.

[AbeVigodaLive]

The real Jesus was into thick mamis like Mary Magdalene.

[zombiesonics]

I wouldn't doubt it.

The idea of a god born of a virgin, could walk on water, judged whether beings could go to heaven or hell, and sacrificed himself for the masses dated back to 6,000 years before the Jesus story ever existed.

extremely ignorant statement.
Rome ignored the early christians because it thought that it was merely a sect of Judaism. While Nero first persecuted the church, systematic persecution didn't come until after the Roman Jewish war of A.70. The romans thought that by destroying the temple it would destroy both judaism and christianity. But guess what, only Judaism was rendered powerless, and Christians began to multiply. This was when systematic persecution began. It was Constantine who came in 306 A.D who made Christianity non persecutable, which eventually lead to it becoming the state religion.

After this, the old guard of Romans were dissastisfied and tried to return the empire back to its pagan roots under Constantine's son, Julian the Apostate. After this temporary reversion, Christianity became a permanent cornerstone.

In summary Dunkan's thesis is gahbaj and doesn't conform to the historical record.

They stole it from Ancient Egypt.

Christianity is a hodge -podge of other Pagan religions. If you tell a lie enough (in this case for thousands of years) it becomes believable. (A lie in the sense that it was just a consolidation of various other religions)

[AtiliusRegulus]

Almost all Christians are garbage

and jews love to live among garbage.

incorrect. Christian doctrine and the christian religion is systematic and non syncretistic.
1. Triune God. (All other religions have either a unitarian god, or a pantheon of gods)
2. Salvation by Grace through Faith. (salvation is not earned, it is given by God. All other religions demand that a person perform works of righteousness and other good deeds to be saved. A christian performs good works and works of righteousness in response to being saved)
3. Forensic substitutionary atonement for sins. (Sin must be dealt with. In Christian religion, sin is dismissed because the sinner is sorry, sin is dismissed because another person takes the punishment for said sins. In Christianity, the God-Man (Christ, who is fully God and fully Human, and without sin, took the punishment for His people. In other religion, the gods or god simply forgive sins because the sinner is sorry, and because the sinner does good deeds).

Again, Christianity is not a hodge podge, it is a systematic closed religion with no syncretism.

I agree with this statement.

[Smelters]

Common sense and rational thinking is basically all you need to decipher the myths of many religions.

Many people lack common sense and rational thinking (even and maybe especially educated people) and are easily swayed by fake history and propaganda.

That is why I asked the board about the Da Vinci Code.

And how lovely it is to have a fall guy and hold no responsibility for your actions.
