i've read the bible cover to cover, twice. i see it for its flaws, though it does have some good stuff in it. i just think that if there is a god, then said god wouldn't mind what path we took to becoming a better person.
also, jesus was considered a blasphemer in his time, as was the buddha, and many other great people....
and how do you know that i will burn for not accepting jesus, jesus doesn't seem like that type of guy that would do that if he had the power to...

That does not follow. To comprehend is not necessarily to believe.
In fact, although I haven't read the whole thing twice, I've read it all at least once and many parts more than twice. And on the basis of that experience, I can say that the fact Madness questions what he read, while you do not, argues that he comprehends it a lot better than you do.

I just finally figured out that G-d is happy with our relationship without labels, dogma, liturgy, ceremony, etc. I don't think G-d cares about religions or this Bible or that Bible or this Saviour or that or any of that stuff. I don't think G-d minds if you believe that - doesn't matter to G-d at all how you get there. So, it doesn't matter to me, either.

The first thing I found when I 'seeked', was I needed to pray to God, not jesus.
If Christ rose, we know with certainty that God exists, what He is like, and how we may know Him in personal experience. The universe takes on meaning and purpose, and it is possible to experience the living God in contemporary life.

If He didn't rise from the dead, then why was His body never found?
Because He rose into Heaven after many people had seen Him after the resurrection.
Mark 16:19 "After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God."

Hate to break it to you but the Bible is not the only book in which you will find that Jesus did exist.
If you check out the Koran, you will see that Jesus is also mentioned there

I figured I would list some more historians who document Christ's existence: Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Tertullian, Origen, Dyonisius. Even the Talmud documents the crucifixion of Jesus.

Are you so sure about there being no exidence of the exodus? I am going to assume that you are refering to when the Israelites left Egypt, if that is the case then you are mistaken. There is evidence found in Eqypt that does indeed support the Exodus (myth). What most archelolgists debate on this subject is the exact timing of the Exodus and under what conditions it occured...

First of all, who needs proof? Believing is an act of FAITH! True Christians need no proof whatsoever, they simply need faith - which sadly you are lacking. However, in the event that you need proof - try reading the Gospels or Psalms. These are written by those who purported to be WITH Jesus during His time here.
Insofar as denying ignorance... Well, in order for me to succeed in such a mission I need to simply deny your post in it's entirety as it certainly embodies nothing but ignorance, not to mention blasphemy.
Finally, I too will pray for your soul as you burn in eternal damnation. It is not too late to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent for your sins.

What cracks me up is people who insist Jesus never existed...yet have no problem entertaining the thoughts and feats of these people:
Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Alexander The Great, Julius Ceasar, Cleopatra and Mark Anthony, Hannibal (The General, not the cannibal), Ramses I and II (or for that matter, any Egyptian Pharoah, Confucius, etc., etc., etc...
If you're going to pick a historical document apart, why quit at the Bible? How about the Rosetta Stone, Plato's Republic, oh, and add anything (I mean ANYTHING) written in Sanskrit, Sumerian, or Cuniform. (All Pre-Jesus languages.)
They're all lies...right?

If Jesus never lived and died to be resurrected, why were there enough witnesses, of this fact, to keep and spread the fact, for generations, DESPITE only being persicuted, up to torturous death, and receiving NO worldly power or gain for doing so?

I have been a believer for a while now, and I will tell you no post on some Conspiracy form is going to change my mind. It’s funny how people like eudaimonia starts an argument like this and never care to debate. Not one post yet.
