I'll reply some other day. I've got a fever and I seriously can't bother to write a whole heap of text right now. Because you two (Meta & Scratcher) are so far away from my points that I can't even begin to think how to start steering it in the right direction.
Umm... Do I really have to partake?
I agree with Meta, in that this thread needs more actual quotes from the bible/apocrypha, to back up all the hyperbolic personal testimonies being made. "Jesus is a dog. This isn't a joke, it actually says so in the bible." is a pretty unbelievable claim. If I'm going to make that claim, I should be prepared to present evidence that supports it.
However, if many of the lost texts say Jesus didn't die on the cross and even the Bible somewhat supports this theory (this isn't an example, btw. This actually is in many of the lost books and the Bible), it's common sense to believe this at least just as much as it is to believe he did die on the cross. It's the same amount of proof against each other, so therefore they both deserve to be believed equally.
Great, so where is this proof? If so many books say Jesus didn't die on the cross, it should be really easy to look up one on google, and quote the passage here.
