Religion

Mate I am not arguing with you about a thing that isn't a thing that would mean I am validating it :)

I think the argument is that religion is a thing, whether you believe god is or not.

I would imagine that there are as many if not more agnostic theologians as there are believers or non believers for that matter.

I do find that early period of our history and how it transformed us from an oral tradition of storytelling to a written documentation fascinating in a way.
But to me it seems like a lot of time and effort goes into studying a time that basically transformed myth into dogma.

Bottom Line is the story is unbelievable to start with.
Miracles seemed to have been ten a penny. Saints in every town.

Live life treating others as you’d like to be treated yourself. It’s not rocket surgery.

No I’m not aware that it is.

Jesus is quoted as saying “do good to those who persecute you”, so him saying that about slave masters is consistent at least.

Octavian I don’t want to argue with you. The bible I read has it. If yours hasn’t, no worries.
