Hi Bluecat,
Peg writes:
the question ppl have to ask themselves is would a book of myth and legend contain so many real places and people and dates and times
One of the initial problems I see with this statement is that, outside of that individual book, those people and dates have no mention anywhere else. So if you get rid of the one source, they got nothing.
Outside of the Angels and Demons book, none of those people and those dated events mean anything. Same with the bible.
I'd be curious as to how Peg gets past that obvious flaw in his/her logic...?

Re: Try Again
well I thought he just said that Jesus was not a real person
Jesus was the pagan Sun God (changed to: "Son" of God) of the Gnostics. He was as much real as any other Sun God before him, in others words, he's a mythological character - not real at all.

Petition to Bailout Comedy The Laugh Factory is imploring Congress to immediately fund what owner Jamie Masada calls an "Economic Cheer-Up." If Congress fails to act quickly, the Laugh Factory comedians are planning to march to Washington and plea to President Obama.
