ive spent the whole afternoon researching on the existance of Jesus, weather he exists or not. i read this interesting article(gawd it's a freaking looooooong essay) abt research on evidence of the existance of Jesus. the author looked up on so many sources, namely the old testament, new testament, jewish sources, the gospels, several books which is also on the historical evidence of jesus, and many other sources which im too lazy to name, and apparently, there is very weak evidence that Jesus actually exist. read the essay/article for urself at
http://www.astheists.org/christianity/didjesusexist.html the author analysed each gospels carefully and spotted many blunders and discrepancies in the bible. the blunders are not acceptable as they're too farfetched. it is also not possible that the gospels are written through personal experience. anyway there's alot more to this essay. go read it. it's really interesting.
by now, u may think that im biased, against christianity or what cause it seems as if im trying to find evidence AGAINST Jesus or God. but no. i also read essays and articles written by people who believe that Jesus exists and why i should believe that he existed. but those reasons are weak and not supported by solid tangible reasoning and evidences. the reasons are mainly things like "it has to be true that jesus exist cause billions of people has worshipped him for 2 thousand years and it cannot be that this whole christianity thing is a big joke invented by a few people with avid imagination and thus write the gospels. thus it must be true that he existed." ahh what bs.
"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish..." (Matthew 5:29)Who in their right mind would pluck out their eye and think that it was profitable?[hahaha so true. read this online. my exact sentiments too when i read this.]
"And it was the third hour, and they crucified him." (Mark 15:25)(John 19:12-18) clearly shows that he was not crucified until after the sixth hour.all these are taken from
http://www.atheists.org/christianity/myth.htmlThe Bible story of Jesus is a contradictory and confusing account. The Bible shows that this Jesus fellow spoke and taught many absurd and foolish things, and often believed he was having a conversation with devils. If one will read the entire Bible, one will find tales of ignorance, murder, sexual perversions, mass insanity, idiotic laws, and even cannibalism and human sacrifice. It staggers the imagination how anyone in his right mind could read the Bible and believe that it was written by a wise, just, and loving god. Christians have found biblical scriptures telling them to burn people at the stake, to justify slavery, to oppress and persecute others, and to kill and commit war in the name of their god.got this from the above website. it's true isnt it?the website also made a fantastic and perfectly logical conclusion. Jesus is a myth. Just like many Gods of all religions are myths but billions of people choose to beliefe in these mythical characters. look like all the hindu gods and greek gods. arent they all myths? and the best thing is that it is accepted that these Gods are mythical. maybe it's just hard to believe that Jesus is mythical. i dont know what to believe though. im sitting on the fence. but one day if i hear Jesus knocking on the door of my heart, i'll open it. one day if i really experience him, i'll believe in him.
but. i will continue to read the bible. it has wisdom in it anyway. doesnt matter if Jesus exist or not.
Dear Lord, i pray that u'll reveal urself or ur Son to me. Please? Amen.
