faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen

zzzz...
People have been throwing brickbats at the Son of God, mankind's only Saviour, for years. I guess the thought of admitting that we need a Saviour is anathema to these folks (also with Satan whispering in their ears that they can 'be like gods' - and don't have need for a Saviour).

Interesting comments about mad Mo -- but I presume he was real. Real damage done in his name, and the koran seems to fess up that he was a pretty brutal cretin. Seems if he wasn't real the koran would have portrayed him in a better light. But I admit that Spencer makes some good points. Who knows - but no need to focus on a dead (or mythical) prophet who cannot save anyone. Our focus needs to be on our Lord. He alone saves.

It doesn’t matter which of the two existed. But I doubt the Christians haters understand why.

Islam is a war plan.

“...another was a warlord with a taste for young girls...”

How about a ‘taste’ for sheep and young boys too...?

I often wonder, when her atheist followers came for her with the strangling cord, chain saw and sledge hammers, did she say....”OH MY GOD!” or “OH MY ME!”

The birth and death of Jesus was recorded by the Romans, Jews and other governments. What atheistic pap.

Merry Christmas

" Muhammad’s “established beyond the shadow of a doubt”"

He is established beyond the shadow of a doubt as the first muzzie terrorist.

Yeah, Peter, John, Paul, Matthew, Mark, James... 2 uneducated fishermen and 1 traitor to Judaism, 1 Tax Collector, etc....

This ragtag bunch of losers made up a person out of whole cloth and managed to convert tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Jews, Gentiles, barbarians, Atheists, Agnostics, idol worshippers and whatnot into Christians in less than 30 years.

No phones, no TV, no books. Made people completely change their lives.

And they just made it up out of this air....

BTW, what is the date? December 24th, 2014..... AD.

A.D.

SO Salon has become expert in history and theology??? Jesus has a better historical pedigree than does Cesar (and that’s not Chavez). Apparently this writer hasn’t bothered to do any of his own research

"Some 2,000 years after the alleged event, religious scholars, despite their best efforts, have still found no proof that Jesus even existed. Although it might seem reasonable to suppose such a one as he walked the earth in the Middle East, historical records kept by the Romans (then in charge of Judea and Samaria) and contemporary chroniclers make no mention of him. The Gospels are not historical records and don’t count; they were composed decades afterward. It has even been credibly proposed that Paul and his cohorts created the savior with strokes of their quills by mythologizing history. Footnote: If you’d still like to believe in a prophet whose existence has been established beyond the shadow of a doubt, try Muhammad."

If the author of that nonsense is ignorant and not just outright lying then he ought to familiarize himself with at least some of the evidence:

Rediscovering the Historical Jesus: The Evidence for Jesus

Sure, they made it all up, and then willingly were imprisoned, beaten, crucified, tortured, beheaded, skinned alive and so on, all for a lie. Sounds really likely.
