If someone can point to a SPECIFIC man in history and say, "yes, that was Jesus", then that can be examined. Otherwise, it's all speculation about hearsay evidence.
I got this from websites written by people who actually are "ghost hunters". They don't like "skeptics" tagging along because they say it makes it much less likely they will encounter paranomal activity.
No, please read carefully, a person can be both a heterosexual, AND a pedophille, they are not exclusionary. You can have a sex drive for a woman, but also the deviant power drive to be a pedophile.
This exclusionary argument is absurd. A man can want to have sex with a woman, and also a child, the psychology of the 2 are separate entities. They thus can be both heterosexual and pedophiles.
The problem with the "Jesus Exists" question is that it is not well constructed. The question should be asked "what Jesus Existed?". Obviously, the Jesus of the NT could not have existed, or he would have had numberous contemporanious historical recordings of his actions, by several historians...
This is not logical, first, there is no evidence of causation in evolution, second, the possibilities are considerable in how a planet can form and evolve.
I've never heard if 1 and 2 before. I would say a majority of people die "unexpectedly" due to the number of heart attacks, accidents, etc. What that would logically have to do with haunting a house or building I have no idea.
Actually, scientific studies have proven time and again that most pedophiles are heterosexual. It's mostly about a power trip, more than something defined by sexual preference.
Very smart people can believe very strange things. That's because belief many times is not based upon intellect at all, but family tradition, emotion, etc. Practically my whole extended family (except my own family) are very conservative Christians, and most are very intelligent (engineers...
I did a study in a sociology class in college where I found that the highest rate of alcololism was in the group of fundamentalist religious folk. Somehow, strongly forbidding the use of something often has the opposite effect of encouraging it. That's just simple human psychology.
One must first define what a "god" is. If we take the personal god of some religions, the probability of the existence of that god in our random/chaotic multiverse = 0.
Wasn't the (torture) concept of hell just a mistranslation, "hell" literally meaning the ground?
It's interesting that hell as depicted in movies is most of the time pictured as a deep hole in the earth, and heaven, as somewhere "up" in the sky. These are classic superstitions from ancient...
There seem to be other "rules", like somebody must have died in a house for a ghost to be there, like a supposed ghost couldn't float accross the street to haunt a house. Also, the creepier the deaths like at Waverly Hills Sanitarium in Louisville, KY, where there were a lot of TB deaths, the...
If you have to look for evidence for the existence of a god, it probably doesn't exist.
1. If a god wants you to know it exists, there will be no doubt of its existence.
2. If a god does not want you to know it exists, you can never find evidence of its existence.
3. If a god doesn't care if...
