My whole life...which Im 33 now, I have fallen for all these lies. I am so happy that I have found people that weren't afraid to tell me the truth. You dont know what you dont know till it comes up. I was wrong about so much stuff. Like I had read by other posters, Christianity had more of a negative effect on my life. But of course when a Christian hears of my falling from Christianity....its always the devil, and the bible said in the last days men would fall from god. I feel so enlighten now. This is an awesome site. I am newly coming out of Christianity. My whole life…which Im 33 now, I have fallen for all these lies.

The author wrote what he did, not because it was 'going to be included in the Bible', but each book had it's own purpose. Whether these books were EVER published together in one volume or not never came into the equation.

He was told this is what the true is and to question it is to condemn yourself to hell. What he has said is just another example of how christians create their own version of history to fit their beliefs. Tom if you go by your standards then you should be a follower of all religions in existence today. There are thousands of believers of different religions that use your type of logic but you deny it. Why? I figure he got his info the same place he got his beliefs. He was told this is what the true is and to question it is to condemn yourself to hell.

more than 500 people saw Him after his death? …… it contains eye-witness accounts of the most important event in history

According to one and only one text. The very text we happen to be questioning. Do you know what it meant by the term ‘circular reasoning’? If not, please see the cartoon at the top of this page.

I just can’t believe, though, that all 500 would refuse to admit to their “lie” when tortured beyond human endurance.
