I think before you call people names you should do some checking yourself. The stolen body theory did not begin with me. It has been around since the time of Christ. I think those people would be aware of the guards and the seal better than you and me.

The Guards' Report
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' 14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

What really gets me is that the year is 2008 and by now people should realize that Man created God and not the other way around.

HIS tomb was empty you say. You mean the cave he was put in was found to be empty. How do you empty a cookie jar that was filled with cookies???

You REMOVE the cookies. Jesus' body was removed and later buried in a family tomb - The Talpiot plot. In those days they laid the body in the tomb for one year and then returned. By that time the meat had decayed off of the bones and the bones were then neatly put into an ossuary.

The family tomb and ossuaries were uncovered in the late 80's by the Jewish Antiquities Group and the bones removed and buried and the ossuaries kept in their museum.

Talk about verifiable facts, these are it. Reading what someone wrote, rewrote, translated, rewritten, judged at Council of Nicea in 325 -- those are hearsay.

Are you speaking of a spiritual resurrection or bodily resurrection?

To refute the bodily resurrection all you need to look at is that they may have found Jesus's bone box (ossuary).

Notice I said may because I cannot be sure but a professor of mathematics figures it is 600 to 1 to be his box and tomb.

Andrey Feuerverger I think is his name. Call him.

Wow, reading comprehension must have been your expertise. "They" obviously refers to all those that believe that BS.

Politicians that beat their chests telling everyone about their religion (yes that includes Obama and Clinton) are either liars or ignorant. Most obviously are liars - that is why we call them politicians.

Now of course they are like that because they aim to please those steeped in those mythologies.

Yeah but that is part of their whole schtick. They believe all those myths about a God in the sky that looks over everyone and will send everyone to burn in hell for eternity if people don't acknowledge and worship him -- but he loves you. All that believe without a shred of evidence.

I think when you divide 85 billion by 200 million you get 425 dollars per person NOT 425,000 dollars per person.

Only because someone told me WHAT?

Do you care to elaborate and possibly explain yourself a little better?

A rough back of the napkin calculation shows that about .000000018% of the sun's energy emitted hits the Earth. What an intelligent design.

The year is 2008 and people should realize by now that Man created God and not the other way around.

You are confusing evolution with abiogenesis.

Evolution only deals with evolving of existing life but not the creation of it. Different branch.

By the way when you start to say the "Earth was created out of nothing" - that is definitely not true.

You may be able to make that comment about the universe but not about the Earth. We, including the Earth, are starstuff; made from material that coalesced after prior stars exploded.

You sound rather weak as far as your knowledge of science so stick to your mythology that you think you know.

So intelligently designed that they are dying like "flies" - colony collapse disorder.

The year is 2008 and it is amazing that people still do not realize that Man created God and not the other way around.

What about the head moron-in-chief that we have had now for 8 years?

You must mean he "died and was resurrected" because surely if he died from crucifiction then he would have also died from either of a variety of aging diseases if he had not been crucified.

Now if he resurrected, where the hell is he??

Did you hear they found his bone box back in the 80's?

The year is 2008. Enough time and knowledge have passed that people by now should realize that Man created God and not the other way around.

It is the most amazing thing in my lifetime that in this day and age so many people still cling to these ancient myths.

And my following comment applies to anyone and both Edwards and Pallin:

Why would anyone run for something like this when they have those kinds of skeletons in their closet?

I guess that none of these kids are going to college?

So my question now is: IF this is true, can anyone then figure out who the real biological dad of Trig is?

If this was someone on the left, the religious righties would say that the Downs syndrome baby was a punishment by you know who.

This country (many of the people in it) has gone into a sh**hole.

I was thinking about my response to someone concerning the Palin pick and it dawned on me that after having the current nincompoop in office for the last eight years how can we pan anyone?

She is an example of what I have found to be quite confusing for me. I find many women look so much better later in life than when they were young.

She was barf ugly playing basketball in high school or even the pics I have seen from a pageant.

Older women look so much better - not sure why - maybe because I am getting old.

Seriously, though, amazing that someone like her would even accept a post such as vice president. Would be like me being offered a brain surgeon position - what the hell do I know about that kind of work? Better to refuse than get fired the first day.

I sure hope you are not equating Savage with Galileo, Darwin, and Edison.

This is an example of how screwed up we are in our country. The vast vast majority of the people now (because of spin from admin and the news media) believe the Ruskies were entirely responsible for this.

The truth happens to be at least 90 degrees away from that and more probably closer to 180 degrees away from that. Pat Buchanan has opined as much. But no one calls the admin on it and force the media to tell the truth.

As a matter of fact, by having twisted the truth, it plays into the whole idea about how now one of our presidential candidates is standing up to the Ruskies.

One of my favorite quotes from Clarence Darrow:

"Adam and Eve were put in a garden where everything was lovely and there were no weeds to hoe down.

They were allowed to stay there on one condition, and that is that they didn't eat of the tree of knowledge.

That has been the condition of the Christian church from then until now. They haven't eaten as yet, as a rule they do not."

Hey buddy, have you ever read Thomas Paine's Age of Reason?

Nelson: Same Opinion as Ingersoll

"In religion, Mr. Lincoln was about of the same opinion as Bob Ingersoll, and there is no account of his ever having changed. He went to church a few times with his family while he was President, but so far as I have been able to find out, he remained an unbeliever. Mr. Lincoln in his younger days wrote a book, in which he endeavored to prove the fallacy of the plan of salvation and the divinity of Christ."
-- Judge James M Nelson, who had an intimate acquaintance with Lincoln in Washington, in the Louisville Times, in 1887, quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beleifs of Our Presidents, p. 137

World: Partially Concealed Infidel, Not a Christian

"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church.
"He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing....
"If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?"
-- The New York World (about 1875), quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beleifs of Our Presidents, pp. 138-39

If you notice he said "a law". That by itself implies that he knows and freely admits that the current constitution grants voting rights to all.

To follow the constitution would be to pass a law or an amendment. That is allowed for in the constitution.

It is amazing that one of two things jump out from this.

Either both, for obvious political reasons, lie about this religious crap or they are both dumb as rocks and brainwashed as about 90% of the population.

The year is 2008 and people should realize by now that Man created God and not the other way around.
