Is part of the Bible a fraud ?

According to historians
The New testament and in particular the gospels that tell the story of Jesus's life (all 4 slightly different) were written several years after Jesus's death. It is likely that these four men never met or knew Jesus. They were not disciples. Whether you consider the king James version as the original (by the way James was king of england in the 15th Century) or not, is irrelevant.
Over the years various christian religions and sects have screwed around with the interpretaion of the bible, added their own set of rules, and completely bastardised the real meaing of christianity.
If God and Jesus love us so much, why the hell are we supposed to feel guilty for merely thinking about something fun? No I prefer a more holistic approach to GOD. We are all here for the experience, We are all God's children, We can do no wrong (in god's eyes). There is no hell.
This is also why fundamentalism.... those nuts who take words and phrases out of the bible (or the Koran or any other book related to a religion) and translate them literally for their own purposes to brain wash the uneducated.... of anykind is very VERY dangerous. Just look at George Bush, Osama Bin Laden both fundamentalists of their own religions and both very VERY dangerous.

Being a devote believer, I have some fav quotes of my own:eyeofthedragon said:

Hope I live to tell

Yes. Except for the bit where God says, "Vancouver Femme Fatale is sooooo hot", and then Jesus says, "Dude...I'd hit it!"
And yes; I'm going to hell even sooner than I thought.

I wouldn't know ... All I know of the hasidics is driving through Montreal to find some good bagels and seeing all the funny hats ...WhaWhaWha said:
If I was to guess, I'd lump them in with the fundamentalists ... They just hide it well and keep it to themselves.
If that is what it sounds like to you...then you don't know much about the Hassids. They a fire & brimstone bunch!WhaWhaWha said:That sounds like Hassidic Judaism to me.

Since we're all going to hell anyway you might want to be sharply dressed. Does the wife need a new "What Would Jesus Do" Thong. Get that and many other exciting gifts to gaurantee eternal damnation right here.

I have nothing to do with this site. I just thought it was funny. The bumper stickers are great.
