Mr. Mag-Abo Challenged Pinoy Atheist on a Debate (Part 2)

The Debate goes in a different turn. :) We're now in the issue of 2 Tim. 3:16. Seems the Born-Again Christian guy doesn't even know proper biblical exposition.

Why am I skeptical about this Jesus character? (Part 2)

On my last post, we talk about how unreliable the gospels and Paul’s letter to prove the existence of the historical Jesus. Now, we’re going to talk about the so-called “historical evidence” of Jesus outside the New Testament.

Most Christians (in desperation) will try to prove the existence of Jesus by stating some so-called “Extra biblical Evidence” of Jesus outside the New Testament. Oh, those are the so-called testimonies written by some historians that mentioned Jesus – like Josephus Flavius, Tacitus, etc.

Well, let’s just mention here the most used personalities.

Why am I skeptical about this Jesus character? (Part 1)

The first thing a Christian will demand to a skeptic like me is to believe in Jesus or face the consequences of going to hell. Well, the Christian bible is clear on that issue: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)… He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)

Why the big fuzz on “believing” and “not believing” this Jesus?

Anyway, here are my reasons why I doubt this Christian Jesus:

1. The gospels are unreliable

2. Paul is unreliable

3. The silence of historians

Lesson Learned

What I learned from my Kuya's death.

Faith is something like a sugar pill. It makes you smile a little. It gives you a temporary relief from the pain you are going through. It gives you a sense of satisfaction. However, after the day you realized that reality still rule and in order to face what is real, you have to accept the fact that magic and superstition doesn't change what already happened.

You just have to live with it and face the fact.
