    How do we know Krishna, Buddha or Moses existed?

    We don't.... there is little historical proof of the existence of Jesus, for that matter. It's all matter of faith, which is the whole point of religion

    ONCE AGAIN! Facts in the Bible is supported by archaeology.

    Right, however, mentioning those places (of which there is proof, ruins, works of art, and written registries) does not make all of the biblical narratives historically true nor accurate. Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid Tale mentions Cambridge, MA, Toronto, Canada, Mexico etc ...real places...

    ONCE AGAIN! Facts in the Bible is supported by archaeology.

    Roman historians mention Pontius Pilates, in the same way they mention the destruction of temple....Jesus not that much, just because they found a ring with his name it doesn't mean that all the narratives of the Bible can be historically proven, nor that what is narrated factually happened as...

    Why Aren't you a Libertarian?

    The problem with Libertarians is that they consider their personal freedom paramount, and it doesn´t work that way, particularly when a libertarian is a member of a wider community and his-her actions, therefore his-her freedom, will have an impact on the freedom of others. Many libertarians...

    GM slashes 15 percent of employees

    I love it...the same Trumpers who thought tariffs were a good thing are the ones to lose their jobs because of his policies... karma is certainly a byatch

    message of Christianity

    It all depends on your definition of faith. Many Xtians believe not because they actually believe, but because somehow they can prove their beliefs, or at least they think so. Xtians believe in Jesus because there are religious texts that offer some historical context to the existence of Jesus...

    Why Do Christians Eat Pork?

    It doesn't happen...anymore, in Jesus' time it did and was part of Jewish law., according to the gospels' narrative Jesus saved an adulterous woman from being stoned to death. That's why I wrote about the "fundamentalist/literalist" approach

    Did anyone use essay writing services?

    I used an editor for my doctoral dissertation, but the editor only checked my references, checked for typos and warned me when some paragraphs were too long or not very clear. At the end I corrected everything myself, and I wrote everything myself. There is no shame in doing that, many authors...

    Why Do Christians Eat Pork?

    Many Christians eat pork because they like it. Personally I love sausages, pork chops, pork ribs, pork roast, ham, and baked pork legs, in a sauce made with red wine, with pearl onions, capers, olives and bell peppers. If you want the the fundamental/literalist approach I will give it to you...
