I think Christians should produce a living Jesus in order to counter this assault. That would shut up the nay-sayers with a quickness.

i would be a little scared to live on Talpiot... imagine now how many religions want a piece of jesus now

Christians will be made stronger by shrugging off this foolishness. His followers know His voice; they respond to no other. They know the day will come when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. Swords, anger and hatred are useless, but no one will ever defeat love.

(Feb 27 07, 09:14)Yeah, God forbid that people exist who believe in love, and who aren't easily shaken by every half-assed manifestation of the Da Vinci Code or whatever else those lacking faith can conjure. The Gnostics tried it during the Roman twilight and failed in snuffing out the true faith. Although I imagine it's the belief in absolute truth that galls you, it's always been your main bone of contention with me in the past...
I'm interested in hearing what Crowe has to say about this whole tomb thing. A cursory overview shows his evidence to be dubious at best, but I'm curious nonetheless.

in this period of seismic spiritual upheaval, entities such as organized religious groups will become progressively more rigid and unyielding before finally collpasing from within

faith will never die and it can't.
once faith dies, life will be over.
Did you not watch the "Golden Child" ?

(Feb 27 07, 09:56)Well at least the faith I claim hasn't changed in 2000 years.
Not
one
bit.
Some of the people within have tried to change it, but the message remains intact. I'll go to my grave and beyond believing that. It's when people serve their own personal agendas in the name of religion that disasters occur.
I'm not too worried about an inward collapse, but then you might counter that people inside a building are often the last to know that it's falling. Nonetheless...
Nothing wrong with being adamant, unyielding and unapologetic about love, at any rate. Ah, we could go on about this all day...

(Feb 27 07, 10:25)You obviously haven't read the whole thing. Finish the book, maybe polish up on some Mesopotamian, Greek and Roman history, and then we'll have a discussion about context.

(Feb 27 07, 09:56)Yeah, how many times has THAT been predicted. Sorry man, human nature doesn't change..it'll have it's little seismic quakes, but the need for self delusion is deeply inherent in our species and we always find a way to huddle back under Big Daddy In The Sky no matter what.

Slavery is an indefensible position for a "loving God" to uphold. Cultural context is irrelevant. We're talking about a God right? not a politician.

Call him what you will gramme, I call it weak. Even if I were to believe in a god, I'd want one that would want me to argue with him on occasion and call him/her on all the crappy stuff he does than just bow down in respectful submission.
I find myself far more greek/celt than judeo/christian in what I expect of and from a god. Small "g".
