"Is Jesus God? In 5 minutes the matter is settled from the Bible - indisputably - irrefutably. Let the Bible speak for itself...Old and New Testament. Hear the words of the Bible, of Jesus himself..."
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.

Jesus was "mocked" by many folks in his day. Jesus was betrayed by Judas. Jesus was crucified for his beliefs. The Bible's account of The life of Jesus is filled with misery and horror. It's a sad tale of a good man, who tried to spread his beliefs to others. Was Jesus "GOD"? I DON'T KNOW.
Personally, I prefer the history and accounts of the life of LORD BUDDHA. Lord Buddha was a son of a King, who gave up his wealth and ezy livin' to just be a "REGULAR GUY". Lord Buddha preferred the "middle ground", a way of life which meant not overindulging, or depriving one self of the basic needs.
The account of Lord Buddha's life is a much more happy one than the life of Jesus. Buddha lived out a full and meaningful happy life. Lord Buddha touched and encouraged good in many of his followers with his simple lifestyle.
Buddhism is based on three simple principles,
1. Abstain from all evils. 2. Do only good. 3. Keep one's mind pure.
NOW, If politicians, and Cops, and everyone followed those three Buddhist beliefs, wouldn't the world be a better place.?

Yes it would....but it wouldn't guarantee eternal life. Furthermore, what is "good"? What someone like Bush or Cheney or Obama considers good, would probably not be what you or I consider good. God said "There are none good, no not one."
Jesus said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. ... bible.cc/matthew/19-17.htm
The Bible sets standards for "good" that benefit us all. You can see that what our leaders decide is "good" will mean enslavement and death for us. I'd rather live by God's standards than their's.
Jesus' life may have seemed sad to you, but it says in Isaiah:
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
As the film says, Jesus is God, and He has such love for us He CHOSE to suffer and die for us, and He is ecstatic when we accept His gift of salvation.

So if some book claims it's the truth, then everything in it must be true, since the book says it is.
How can people fall for that?
If I say everything I say is true, then that's the proof it's true, since I say it is, right?
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Just noticed the thread on that, I was thinking Goldi must have just called it quits, or forgot to pay her bills.
Well hey, stick around for awhile, we're a bunch of wild and crazy guys and gals, and most of us don't bite... :)

That "book" has a special place in the history of mankind. The Pope (now there's a funny dressing dude that has billions of followers) made it a capital offense to read it, several translators were killed for doing so ... and much prophecy is being fulfilled today that was predicted over 3500 years ago (Daniel). [At least many believe this to be true].
In the end it's up to each person to determine what they believe. And in many instances it's easy to see why those not believing have chosen their position since so many wars and other evils have been committed in the name of God. (Usually fomented by evil men without any help from God).
The lengths that people go to on both sides of the debate to support their determinations can be interesting to watch because (usually) neither side is able to convince the other.
Sometimes I find it difficult to know for sure that our entire existence itself is real especially as of late.
We exist on a rock flying through space at a 1000 M.P.H. and that alone is enough to cause me a certain amount of bewilderment.

Thing is, the Catholic Church CREATED that book by combining the Torah, and some alleged letters of "disciples". Who knows how authentic those letters actually were, especially when so much is made about the questionable "holiness" of the Catholic Church.
To me, it was more of a Roman religion designed to placate the masses, yet infer imperial power to Rome by way of the Pope.

I'm not so quick to feel pity for the myth known as jesus, mainly because I haven't seen any evidence to support any of the biblical claims. For the sake of argument, if we were to go on the premise that the bible was in fact true, the betrayal, mocking, and the death of Jesus would HAVE to happen for prophecy to be fulfilled, which begs the question of whether the offending parties actually had a choice in the matter at all. After all, it was part of "god's plan". The whole thing is one big logical fallacy after another if you try to accept it in part or whole as true.
