The only "rituals" common in most Christian churches are the baptising and last supper (pls correct me if I forgot anything). So you're suggesting that the places that talk about last supper and baptising in all four of Luke, Mark, John and Mathew were written by Christian leaders in 4th (?) century of this era?
Just like it doesn't make you more of a christian if you go to church on Christmas or Easter, it also doesn't make you less of a christian if you don't. Let me put it this way, the festivals aren't christianity, Jesus is. I agree that many things surrounding christianity may have been created by people, but I refuse to believe that bible, God or Jesus was created by people who borrowed things from pagan religions.
Again, the question I asked to Alen. How can you be certain of the truth regarding those centuries before Christ? There isn't even a clear idea when the Krishna coming happened, not even talking about whether there's proof (I mean real proof, not the stuff like "the legends "existed" way before") that the story of Krishna was written before or after Bible.
C'mon, how can you be certain of the truth that were written in bible?
Doesn't it sound suspicious to you that those miracles, history is very similar to stuff that was written way back before christs was born? It's like reading a book and then finding that you were reading a reprint of the orginal which was written before just with different name? Pliagiarism at it's best.

The bible has historic basis under it and the oldest copies of it are way more old (=>credible?) than most historian writings of the period, which are taught in schools and called facts. I just want to know what is the basis behind all those pagan religions who claim their stuff stolen and plagiated (sorry for the language, I'm kinda hangover and don't want to check the verb) and whether they are just legends, paintings on walls, scratches on clay tiles or do they have some credibility behind those claims.
For the record, I'm not certain of the things written in bible, I wouldn't be asking questions here if I were. I happen to agree with the things written in Bible, but I'm not a christian. Same with vegetarianism. Hard to explain, but probably I just love meat too much, both literally and figuratively.

I'm not argueing their credibility, that would be too hard to do. I'm just pointing out the fact that stuff that is said to be done in bible and is exlusive to jesus was written way before jesus supposedly walked the earth. I'm not saying they are correct or incorrect I'm just saying that same stuff was done many years before they were claimed by jesus as his own miracles.
I was just gonna say, Linebreak has been busy over the Xmas Holidays.
Question, not related to god. In hindu as far as I know they talk about how the place between india and japan used to be a land and some other interesting stuff regarding how the earth used to be so many years back. Do you think it is tales from people living so many years back? Because if it somewhat true it would mean people were living thousands and thousands of years ago there?
