You don't understand humor do you? Do you find at times everyone is
laughing but you?

Idiot.

Don't worry about it. It is paranoid to think that are laughing at
you. Unless of course, they are laughing at you. The key is being
able to determine why they are laughing at you.

You wish.

Are you really so joyless you can enjoy a little humor? Why are you
wasting time hating so much? Do something positive with your life.
All this negativity is just bringing you down. Little things should be
like water on a Duck's back. Ignore it and let if fall away.

Again, you're amateur-psychologising your own fasehood to come up with
something even nastier.

Why are you so serious? I just wanted to see if you could lighten up a
little. Where I am at the sun is shining and weather is fine. I am
going to go for a walk and enjoy it.

Do you tell Irish jokes in an Irish bar and then tell to lighten up,
*****?

I wish that he would try it.
The offended Irish patrons might just supply him with a sorely needed
lesson on manners and humility.

In our last episode, <1159986679.306485.277210@m7g2000cwm.googlegroups.com>,
the lovely and talented Black-Phoenix-Night broadcast on alt.atheism:

Yet, strangely, some say that Jesus never lived-that he is, in
effect, a creation of some first-century men. Answering such skeptics,
the respected historian Will Durant argued: "That a few simple men
should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a
personality, so lofty an ethic and so inspiring a vision of human
brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded
in the Gospels."

But of course Jesus was not invented in one generation. The Greeks had been
working on aspects of this religion for hundreds of years,...

and of course the
obviously mythological parts (human mother, god father, etc.) were very much
older. You might as well say the invention of the automobile in one
generation (around the turn of the last century) was a miracle.

And it would
be, I suppose, if it had been invented of whole cloth. But it wasn't. Lots
of the ground work in metalurgy, mechanics, and so forth had been done over
many generations...

So it was with the religion a Hellenistic Jew -- Paul or
someone like him - invented. Even then, it took several centuries to get
the story straight as contradictions between the so-called "gospels" clearly
reveal....

... Someone discovers an old Hebrew text that predicts where the
messiah will be born -- opps, the story has to be patched up by inventing
a census which never happened. The astrology doesn't work out quite right
-- opps, the story has to be patched up to change the date. Little wonder
christians today are such liars -- it is part of their religion.

Ask yourself: Could a person who never lived have affected human
history so remarkably?

Of course not. A person who never existed could not affect anything.
But the many liars telling many lies could, and they did. Sort of like
the Bush administration.

Ask yourself: Could a person who never lived have affected human history
so remarkably? The reference work The Historians' History of the World

observed: "The historical result of [Jesus'] activities was more
momentous, even from a strictly secular standpoint, than the deeds of
any other character of history. A new era, recognised by the chief
civilisations of the world, dates from his birth."

Essentially, however, all that is known about Jesus was recorded by his
first-century followers. Their reports have been preserved in the
Gospels-Bible books written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. What do
these accounts say regarding the identity of Jesus?
