Quote# 29414

The truth of the Qu'ran and the Book of Mormon fall flat on their faces, when compared with history, especially the BoM. The Quran is harder to show (not least because of it's deliberate lack of historic context, though the traditions and so on that help interpret the Quran, putting in the context, have Mohammed living in a 9th century, not a 7th century context), as most of the people who've debunked the historicity of it, and found that it's just bits taken from other holy books of the area, mixed in with a bit of 9th century propaganda against Christianity and Judaism, haven't published their work, or have gone into hiding to avoid being killed by Muslim extremists.

Hindus and Buddhists would believe in Jesus' resurrection - Hindu's just assimilated him into their religion and treat him as another one of their gods, and Buddists deny some of the facts and change it so that Jesus fits their view that he just reached enlightment.

So, ancient people took bits of the religions of nearby cultures and added in bits of propaganda and other mythology to build their own new religions. Imagine that!

So the historicity of the Quran has been debunked, but those claims about historical problems with the Bible are just the work of atheists trying to hide from the truth?

Actually, Jesus may have been a Buddhist. Read up on Asoka and his missions. Think carefully now. Buh-bye.

Wow, that's pretty awesome considering those religions were formed before Christianity...

Are you telling me something like "I know it's true but I can't demonstrate it"?. Be honest and say "ok, I give it up. I have no idea what I'm talking about"

I can see why there are no responses to that piece of historically( sorry historicity) inaccurate piece of crap,because in the 9th century it got debunked and wasn't published because Smith and Morrow were Hindu and Jews . They were denying some of the facts.

And yet he doesn't talk about the BoM for the rest of the comment...

I refuse to believe something this ironic could possibly be honest. it must be a poe.

ps soton... you know that whole Moses thing? Probably taken from other traditions, among other stories in the Bible.

Haw haw haw ... those silly Mormons! They got started as a cult run by a guy who believed he had a direct line to God, and generated a whole new Testament as a result.

Not at ALL like regular Christianity, no no no no.

Go look up the Roman legend of Mithra. Also, do you ever wonder why we use rabbits, eggs, and chicks as Easters signs? I bet you don't!

This is going to make your head explode, but Muslims see Jesus as a very, VERY important prophet (they even believe in his second coming), Mormons are Christians, and the story of Jesus shares lots of similarities to Mithras, a Zoroastrian deity who later got his own Roman cult.

First of all, Islam was born around the 7th century, WITH DATA. The founder can´t be born two centuries later. And do you understand that the same argument could be used against the Bible?

Same shit, different pile. Don't stand there with that smug look on your face and claim that your shit doesn't stink just as bad as all the others do.
