Now look at Matthew's crucifixion scene. Notice his famous hoards of the living dead is from Ezekiel 37:12-14. Matthew 27:30-51 "30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on...

The evidence is mostly plausible in that a sect of Jews came up with their own mystery religion which there was many in the region. A story is told to a potential initiate, then the deeper meaning is revealed as they work up in rank. Mark 1:9-11 "9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of...

Mark 5:1-20 (NRSV) Jesus Heals the Gerasene Demoniac "5 They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when he had stepped out of the boat, immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. 3 He lived among the tombs; and no one could restrain...

Here's some of my favorites: Mark 1:16-17 Jesus Calls the First Disciples "16 And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of...

This is for those familiar with the crucifixion narrative in Mark. Keep in mind that the historically implausible release of a prisoner on Passover mimics the Yom Kippur scapegoat ritual. Barabbas (son of the father) is released like the one goat is released with sins cast upon it. Meanwhile...

Here's another example that Mark (which inspired the later Gospels) is not recording history. Mark 6:1-6 "6 He went away from there and came to his own country; and his disciples followed him. 2 And on the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; and many who heard him were astonished...

Now the Gospels: Mark 11:12-21 (NRSV) Jesus Curses the Fig Tree "12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for...

Temple Cleansing Fiction The Jesus Temple cleansing scene is considered historical by many biblical scholars due to it not being supernatural. Never mind that the courtyard was a massive area (this fact overlooked in recreations), and had armed guards (there were boxes people put money in to...

Cool. Thanks for the update. Enjoy that sweet lookin smoke.

Too bad everyone collectively cannot stop playing their 21 questions game to try, and catch you in a lie. This really pisses them off.

I'm glad I no longer follow traditions anymore. I'm making a Pizza.

Sounds like you missed your chance to clean up the gene pool.

Cops are so addicted to making that big arrest they foam at the bit with Strawman tactics trying to make you give up your rights. Have your cellphone, or a cam ready, and tell them it's instantly being loaded up to a cloud. I have one video showing the cognitive dissonance they go through when...

Holy shit! I'm glad I don't have these problems. Then again I only smoke recreationaly, and everyday not often.

If I was lookin, it would not be here.

God belief, or disbelief is not about IQ.
