A further issue arises in that we don’t know who actually wrote any of this, or large parts… i.e. matthew, mark etc… and some of the stories for example, the resurrection are conflicting, which is odd at the very least.
The immaterial is yet to be demonstrated to be possible, let alone true.
So whilst you may consider me ‘shackled’, i consider myself grounded.
And content with what we experience within reality, rather then essentially wishing or believing for something unproven to be true.
The earth doesnt sit on nothing.
Thats not known, and still a highly debated topic within cosmology and other academia.
Well from my personal perspective, i feel the owning of any human is completely immoral, if a god in any way condones it, then i say im more moral then that god.
An interesting take, i myself would consider them as efforts by ancestors to try and make sense of the world they saw.
Much like the vikings did with Odin, and the romans did with their gods… the greeks and so on…
And yet here we are, where the vast over whelming majority of scientists would disagree and there is not a sindle shred of scientific evidence to support any god(s).
Thoughy id concede that i would imagine Jesus may have been an historical person.
Which I do, along with most atheists.
I look at my world view and its one where im very easily able to step away and view the bigger picture.
For me it comes down to probability and im not talking from a mathematical position requiring streams of data, i simply cannot be bothered to try and attempt it.
But i look at what is more plausible?
And a theistic world view just doesnt cut the mustard and answers very little.
