  Religions are fairy tales for children who are afraid of death. They have nothing to do with reality. There is no god and no rational reason to believe in one. Part of growing up is accepting that.

    Except from that guy who did miracles and stuff and rose from the dead

      That guy is a character in a book that wasn’t written until decades after his supposed death. And those stories that made it into the book were knowingly cherry picked and modified to fit a narrative that the Romans wanted to push at the time.

      The only “evidence” he rose from the dead was that someone wrote down that someone told someone else that they knew of a few people that saw an empty cave a few days after they had stuffed a corpse in it. And said book also contains a contradicting story about the same event.

      So not exactly screaming reliable primary source…

      There’s more evidence that Spider-Man exists/ed.

        Wait until you hear about most of history… A lot of people we think we know were written CENTURIES after their death.

        And those stories that made it into the book were knowingly cherry picked and modified to fit a narrative that the Romans wanted to push at the time.

        That they were occupiers and killed the son of God? yikes

        No, some of the writings were first hand eyewitnesses, the rest were people who personally knew numerous people who saw Him.

        And said book also contains a contradicting story about the same event.

        No it doesn’t.

        There’s more evidence that Spider-Man exists/ed.

        No, because Spider Man is never claiming to be a true story and nobody ever claimed to be Spiderman. We also have a name - Stan Lee - who wrote the story and has no qualms saying it is fake. 2 billion people around the world don’t believe in Spiderman.

      How do you know that happened? You can write anything in a book. But just because it’s written down doesn’t mean that hobbits, wizards, or dragons really exist.

        So Napoleon didn’t exist, then?
