@ que ~ My point about Harry Potter and Jesus Christ is that neither can be proven to be any more real than one another and that what is written in a book, however old, doesn't mean that it's true. I'd argue that during the time the Roman Catholic Church used its power to keep people in line and during all of the years that the bible was simply spoken about and not written, that the original meaning of Christianity, as a whole, had been tainted and is not reflective of its true origins. I also know about the supposed burial site of Y'ashua. What's important to realize is that Mary, Mathew, and Y'ashua were all such common names back then that it's completely impossible, COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE, to link that burial site with Jesus Christ. It doesn't prove nor disprove Jesus Christ, and therefor, it's just a burial site.
Now stay with me guys, because this is a little long.
@ ace ~ No, I haven't been able to prove that Jesus Christ didn't exist, that heaven isn't real, or even that there is a life after death. No, I'm brilliant, but not that exceptionally brilliant. I did, however, find other aspects of my life to be equally unbelievable; just as a "savior in the sky" idea is, all I had to do was use my logic and reasoning abilities to disprove and discredit those aspects of my life. Ideas such as the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and even the gold at the end of the rainbow with all of the leprechauns are all ideas that I've been able to use my LOGIC in order to better understand the world I was forced into and lied about.
The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist because we all took our teeth to our mother when we were a child and what did she say? "Put it under your pillow (or wherever else) and the Tooth Fairy will come and give you money". That's just a lie. The tooth fairy doesn't exist, doesn't use the same currency as us in the United States, and I'm pretty sure that if the Tooth Fairy was real, she wouldn't have looked exactly like my mother... of whom I caught putting a quarter under my pillow, not the Tooth Fairy.
Santa Claus isn't real because geologically, there isn't enough food in the North Pole to feed Santa and all of his elves that create all of the toys in the world. Financially, Santa isn't real because nobody can buy his stock, and it would seem one would like to do so if he has such a successful business operation going on there. And he isn't real mathematically and scientifically because it's impossible to visit every house in the world on Christmas, especially since more than half the world doesn't believe in him at all, or the Christian faith as a whole, for that matter.
The Easter Bunny doesn't exist because the idea of a big f**king bunny that gives little kids easter eggs is completely outlandish, especially when you consider the fact that you either painted the eggs yourself or you bought plastic ones at the store in which to hide money and candy inside for an easter egg hunt. The Easter Bunny doesn't even give you an "IOU", a promissory note, cash, or a tax rebate in which to pay for the eggs.
Gold at the end of the rainbow has been scientifically proven to not exist because you can't actually LOCATE the end of a rainbow. A rainbow is simply a reflection of light seen at a certain angle. Someone on the other side of town might not even be able to see the same rainbow you are looking at, but instead see another... and I'm not even going to explain why Leprechauns aren't real.
Jesus Christ/ God isn't real, because I've never met him. I've never seen him on TV. I've never heard of anybody [sane] that has seen him... and the "500 people that saw him rise from the grave" can't be trusted. Ghosts, demons, maleficent beings of any kind have yet to be proven for an equally same amount of time as Jesus Christ has been, and just because a handful of people believe it to be correct, doesn't make it correct. There are far more than 500 people in the modern institution known as the Ku Klux Klan, but that doesn't mean that their beliefs are correct either, but at least you could go shake their hand if you wanted to.
I grew up at 13 years old. I read about different religions. And I stopped believing in fairy tales. I'm 19 now and you don't know how good it feels to not be bound by rules and speculation that are not proven and which you only recognize because people in your family raised you into believing. At some point in time, you need to read for yourself. You need to understand different culture, and then, and ONLY then, will you sit down alone and say to yourself, "man, those Aztecs... how in the world could they ever believe that the Sun was their ultimate being?" - and then it will click to you, and you'll understand that somewhere else in the world there is a Muslim or a Jew, and they're sitting alone, just like you, and they're thinking, "Man... those Christians... why would they ever believe...".
Then, you'll realize that no religion is correct, and therefor, can't be trusted. Religion is false.
