Hi,
Not really too pertinent, but I just want to comment on three things:

Not really too pertinent, but I just want to comment on three things:
Quote:When Paul tells us . . .Indeed, almost everything Paul tells us is crap. Then again, one can make the argument that Christianity should be called Paulism. In many ways, Paul had more influence both on the early church and on modern Christianity than does Christ himself.
Quote:When Jesus tells us that he's the son of God, . . .Other than in the sense that we are all children of god, where does Jesus claim to be The Son of God? Isn't the lack of this claim exactly what fostered centuries of dispute as to the nature of Jesus?
Quote: . . . and that the world is coming to an end immediately . . .This is an important point that is constantly and carefully glossed over by Christian authorities. In many cases, Jesus states or implies that the end of the world (judgment day, the kingdom of god, etc.) will come soon. Indeed, in at least one case he states that many who are alive and listening to him will live to see it. Acknowledgment of that fact would lead to the inevitable conclusion that Christianity is busted, and has been for two millenia.
