Son of god, mesiah, white magic man or black mortal smokin gange or did he exist? is he a metaphore for how we should live as is the bible? I think this is a powerful subject not only religion but one of the worlds most public religions is "organised" religion what god would want if he created us...?I want powerful answers on this one let the contemplation begin.

I seriously wonder if he existed or not... think about it, his mother says she's a virgin yet she's pregnant and then her son, jesus, says that god sent him to free all of mankind... i think somebody might have made this up...I mean come on.. if a guy came up to you in the street and siad he was sent by god and would save you from sin, would you really beleive him, or even set up a major religion with him as the reprasentative of god on earth?? I no i wouldn't and i doubt anyone else i no would either..

Very true but 2000 years ago without science everything was seen to come from magic or a higher power etc

I like dave's idea of him being a metaphor for the catholic way of life rather than an actual person.. Im not sure where i stand on it though... Im reading Da Vinci Code again and its hard not to take some of it as fact so thats kinda messing with my reasoning so um eh ill get back to you

Yeah, I agree, the entire Bible is probably just a metaphore of how people should live their lives. Havent read the da vinci code yet? dosent that say that jesus ran away with mary magdolin and had kids or something?

yep and that there are still decendants living today..I don't think it's true but a lot of stuff in that book is.. if ya get the chance you should read angels and demons aswell, it sort of ties in with the whole jesus thing..

i believe that there is but one god, it may be god as we know it or buddah or muhammad i think they are all the same person but under many different names. religion is something each person decides for themselves. and for every atheist out there, are you telling me that if you were trapped under a pile of rubble the first person you would turn to would not be the lord jesus christ and his father!

you no i'm not an aethiest but honestly god would not spring to mind first at all... god is this thing that lots of people beleive in but there is not a lot of proof.. i would turn to my friends, the people who know me best and who i know best.they mean the most to me, not some invisible father figure who i have no connection with.. i would like to think i would turn to god first, but the truth is i'm not sure if i beleive in a god..

people have a messed up view of god and like 2 think that they have "broken away from what their parents brought them into" but lying crushed under a fallen building, your friends cant hear you. people wrongly look at god as a24 hour free insurance policy, but u scratch his back (ie spread the good news, do the odd good deed etc) he'll scratch yours. you cant use him, he will remember.

but can't you see that it is like a superstition? god is not a physical being, he cannot save you... the rescue people can. you can beleive that god told them to save you or you can be practical and see that they are only doing their job.even though i no that my friends can't save me, they would be the people that i would think of first.

I agree wiv andy too... like half way thru the religion cycle in school they realise were gettin cynical n start back trackin u no that the bible isnt to be taken literally n that wen good things happen god sent them like grace sed.... I like the idea of agnosticism personally n i kinda feel that ppl want to believ theres a god so they dont have to cope with knowin that were alone.
