Can we prove that one stole the story from another? Or, is there a basic truth in them all?
Though a timeline might suggest the story was stolen/borrowed, might the original version (probably untraceable), be absolutely accurate? If so, it may have only been perverted beyond recognition.
You made a few mistakes in your thinking though.
1. You assume there are other intelligent life in your argument. (Bear in mind I'm not saying there isn't)
2. You assume "insert your favourite God figure here" has not appeared to these aliens.
3. You assume these aliens are not followers of "insert your favourite God figure here"
Also there are some things which you state as fact that I've never read about or heard of before.
For example, I've never heard of Buddha being crucified, dying & resurrecting. He supposedly died from old age or food poisoning (pork or mushrooms depending on who's telling).

What would you say to someone who had been meditating and praying in a chapel before the exposed Blessed Sacrament (Jesus truly present in the Host) and in the midst of prayer Jesus spoke to the person and the statue of Jesus on the crucifix actually moved as if it came to life when this happened? Then the prayer that had been offered was answered miraculously...a spontaneous healing of 7 life threatening maladies at once.
This happened to me, so I believe, but I believed before I saw. I trust in Jesus.
Why was it important enough to you to go to all this word to try and discredit - or rather - *prove* Jesus does not exist?
Isn’t that just the other side of the coin from the Christians trying to prove He did?
Now, the Christians have a reason for *spreading the word*.
Obedience to God, Love of mankind, love of their Jesus.
What’s your reason?
PS - Also, unless you wrote all the material in the post - would you be so kind as to put some links in to where you got the information?
No insult intended but - some people call your post(s) *brilliant* - I call them *cut paste* and it’s only right you give credit where it’s due.
Thanks

I agree, this is yet another bash Christianity thread. Because Christian nations are the most powerful on earth people like to TRY to bring them down with their whacky theory's.
If these threads were really about religion they would go after the most popular and that is the Muslim religion. They don't want to do that because if they are caught it is off with their heads...
The OP is nothing more than one of the many trolls that hang out here and try to incite people. The transparency of this thread is laughable..

Now, you speak of arrogance in your first posts conclusion, however if you look at the title of your thread and then decide to bring in a mathematical equation based on conjecture to create "proof" is incorrect and could be a tad hypocritical

Yeah, the world sucks - thanks to MAN.
How about MAN standing up and taking responsibility for tons of the things you posted?
We live in a world where children die every second of starvation while others run around buying diamond studded collars for the dogs.
Where we spend billions developing weapons to destroy mankind and earth, and can’t figure out how to bring back the green in Africa.
How about MAN take some responsibility for Man's actions for once instead of blaming God.
Beyond that - Do you really want God to be so easy to understand you can explain Him?
Or could it possibly be He knows the *grand plan* and it's something so perfect you can't even fathom it?
Sorry, I don't put my God in a little box I can carry around and explain.
My God's LIVES outside the box.
So does my belief system.
I could tell you stories of my life that would make grown men puke.
But I've never blamed God.
That's for the weak.
Believing in Him is for the strong.
Just sayin...
peace

Why can't they just use logic as something to believe in instead of an imaginary friend?
S/F my friend. Well done.

Exactly what kind of logic are you using to prove non-existence? Logic itself tells you that if something never existed there is no evidence either in support of or in support against. So what kind of logic is this?
I could sit here all day and tell you that stories in the bible are duplicated in other prior and post event books. I can tell you that geographic alignments are perfect matches. But what does that actually prove? Nothing. I cannot prove existence in the same manner in which you cannot prove non-existence because there is no hard evidence for existence.
The people that are trying to prove existence are at least following a normal scientific principle. They are seeking supporting evidence (no matter how weak) to substantiate their belief. This is a natural progression of scientific research.
Those that are trying to prove non-existence are the ones I am concerned about because they are trying to use science to make its own rules stand against science itself. You cannot prove non-existence, there can be no tangible evidence for non-existence because of the simple fact of non-existence itself. So therefore why would one try? Could it be that deep in the recesses of their own mind they have doubt of their own belief and are not honest enough to confront it? It makes absolutely no sense to try to prove that something does not exist.
And you can use all the false logic you like to argue that but the fact remains. non-existence = no facts to verify.
