When Christianity first began we saw an influx of supporters from all over the land. It was common in those days to be desperate, hungary, and without any sense of justice. It's true back then that society wasn't yet fully developed enough to appreciate just what the difficulties were in operating a government based on religious concepts. When Jesus appeared things changed, the people heard an outspoken, unique individual fighting for something he believed in which opposed the view of those in power. Much like Martin Luther King debating the finer points of "being equal" Jesus offered those with questions his own answers and vision of the world. He claimed many things but the most powerful influence he presented were his actions. He performed many miracles, many unusual and seemingly paranormal feats... as time passed many of the people in that time began to fear him, not because of his teachings but because of his abilities.
I'd compare Jesus seeming like a witch does to someone in Salem.. in any event we must ask whether Jesus was merely a man or divine prophet from some almighty creator. Indeed we see that Christians often use the argument that no other religious figure has risen from the grave, not any. While this presents a unique take on the time I also sincerely doubt he rose from anything, including a grave. Science tells us physical materials must obey laws set forth by this universe, and therefore we see a few possible explanations for Jesus rising.
1. He was never dead
2. He was cloned
3. He was only hurt and seemed dead
4. He died but what rose wasn't him
You see death like anything in this world is real, and so Jesus would've died... he would've ceased to exist... now if somehow his spirit did come back his brain would still have damage and such, so we must conclude something else was going on. I'm a skeptic, I'm a doubter, but most of all I'm a realist. This man was no god, no messenger.. except maybe for himself.
I see the world through a prisim of Christianity mixed with modern ideals, and what I see disturbs me greatly. When will Christianity stop? When will those following it ultimately bring about their own armagedon merely to fullfill their beliefs? Is the world truly blessed or just a random event?
My beliefs, and my instincts tell me that niether of these is true. This world is random in as much as anything can be. We are random, there is no holy ghost, no trinity, nothing. When you die your brain stops functioning, you stop. For those Christians or other religious fanatics that continue spouting this type of nonsense I say this... when you die there are but a few possible scenerios:
1. You're right and god was real, but much more than a religion
2. You're wrong and you'll never know it
3. You die, god sees you, tells you "sorry friend but you weren't following your own path and that's why I sent you to Earth, so go back there and try again but remember not to follow people blindly."
I prefer the 3rd option as it has the aura of humour about it.
We all know the truth, when you try explaining something to a Christian they listen, but do they really understand? Much like a cat hears you calling they to can hear the words but will never grasp their meaning. Call it the curse of following a religious sect, whatever it is they simply listen, but then return with their own nonsensical sayings.. sayings that in reality have been modified a thousand times over in multiple ways. The original content having been lost is now moot, there is no substance to their words, no truth. Try sending them back to the time Jesus lived (supposedly) and see if anyone there understands or appreciates them, I garuntee you they won't. You'll find yourself in a world so vastly different that your religious teachings are far outdated, or just plain lies.
I don't forsee any time Christianity will be gone from the Earth, our only possible chance is to remove ourselves from Earth, blow it up, then move on to another planet.. perhaps there in the new solar system we'll find our truth, but certainly it can't be found with the uneducated or unimaginitive fools that lack any real truth themselves.
