Christianity is not real.

I will have to be quick due to limited time, so I thank Con for his arguments. I will now state my rebuttals. 1. Flavius Josephus and his claim about Christ. [1] Flavius Josephus was not born until 37 CE (AD), which is four years after Christ supposedly died. Therefore there is no way he could have witnessed any part of Christ's life at all. Also, if this isn't convincing enough, Josephus' writings could have easily been forged, especially since it was such a long time ago. They were also kept by the Church, which could have made them say anything they wanted to. 2. Tacitus and his claim about Christ [2] Tacitus made a claim about Christ as well and described him, but just like Josephus, there is no way he could have known what he was like if he didn't exist at the time Jesus was supposedly alive. Also, why is it that no one quoted Tacitus' passage as a source for their writing until the fifth century CE? If it was so amazing that he had somehow 'seen' Jesus, wouldn't he be more well known? Wouldn't his writings also be more well known? Now I will move onto my point. Jesus has said way too many contradictions and 'ungodly' things in the Bible to believe that it is true. 1. Love your enemies as you love yourself. [3] In Luke 6:26, Jesus said: "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." So here, he is preaching forgiveness, correct? And he is saying even if someone does something bad, he should be forgiven, right? So why does he say this in Mark 16:15-16? "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned [to hell]."" This is how Jesus himself says he will treat his enemies. If he is telling other people to forgive and love their enemies, why doesn't he? Right here it says that he will send them all to hell. Obviously a loving and caring god would recognise that some people may not believe in him and that is not their faults because they grew up learning different things. If Jesus holds that against them, when it is absolutely not their fault, I cannot see how he is perceived as the 'saviour of the world.' 2. Racism from Jesus? [3] If Jesus is god, then he should love all his people, no matter what, right? So why does Jesus say this, in Matthew 15:22-26? "A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession." Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."" Right here in this passage, Jesus is discriminating against a 'Canaanite woman.' Jesus is supposed to cast out demons and save people, right? So why does he refuse this woman? 3. Ridiculous advice from Jesus. [3] Okay, I am not quite sure if people nowadays think this is a good idea - I sure hope you don't - but here is what Jesus advised people to do in Matthew 18:7-9: "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell." There's just one small problem with this. It is not at all possible for your hand to 'cause you to sin,' it is your brain telling you to sin. Nor is it the fault of your eye or foot. If Jesus was god he would have realised this, and if he did, he would probably tell everyone to cut out their brains, because that is definitely what an intelligent god would do. If there are so many contradictions and ungodly things that occur in the Bible, how can it be a holy book? There is just too much evidence, even within the Bible itself, that points to the non-existence of Jesus Christ. [1] http://www.davidicke.com... [2] http://www.jesusneverexisted.com...
