Years ago, I would have answer this question in a split second, and my answer, as many Grenadians today would give, would have been, yes, he did exist, and this is so because the Bible said it. However, as I become more independent, relying on my own ability to use my brain and think, in fact not just to think, but think objectively and rationally, I realized how irrational that answer was.
In fact, I had never objectively thought about that answer, I just said it because I was told so. The question is why was that so? Knowing what I know now, the answer is quite simple. We, Grenadians were never exposed to any other religions except Christianity in some form or fashion, and if there were exceptions, even today, the number of people been exposed to another religious, "spiritual" path or even thought processes are insignificant in light that 89% of Grenadians are Christians, and of the remaining 11% most are indoctrinated by other variant forms of Christianity, for example, Rastafarianism. Certainly, I, as do the 89 too 90 percent of Grenadians who are Christians, was conditioned or indoctrinated to accept this fallacy statement as ultimate truth; fortunately for me, I was able to brake through the mental barrier that was fashioned around ridicules religious claims instead of fact.
So, in my now "state of mental freedom," what did I find as I dug deep into the validity of the clams that Jesus existed? First, I learn that using just a book to cite as the reason why I accept something as a fact is ludicrous. For many fiction writers do incorporate real landscape, buildings, cities or towns, for example, to their writings to interject a sense of reality or life giving proprieties to their literature. The Bible is certainly no different, of all things written in the Jewish Bible, it is the reality of Egypt, for instance, that vividly brought the factious stories in the Bible to life. With that fact, it makes absolutely no sense to accept that the fictitious character or characters of these writings as literally existing just because it is found that a city or building mention in those writings did existed. The same applies to the Bible. Finding Egypt and other ancient city etc, does not support Jesus’ existence. Of course the possible of his existence cannot be dismissed upon just those grounds, but sadly enough; believers in Jesus have not been able to provide any evidence of anyone name Jesus, as the Bible claims, ever existing.
Next, with the Bible out the way as the only physical thing used to justify why I had believed in Jesus’ existence, I, as does many before me, started asking many questions. Questions like, are there other extra biblical writings of Jesus sense he was of so much influence in a world that was teeming with writes even before his so-called coming? As I search for the answer to this question, it was indeed another shocker because there were absolutely no extra-biblical record of a biblical Jesus, and although most un-informed Christians, misguided by their spiritual leaders and by Christian apologists, like to used first century historians like Josephus and Tacitus writings as evidence of extra-biblical records of Jesus' existence.
Certainly, Tacitus for example, did not mention anything about a Jesus. However, although questionable, he did make mention of a group name Christians, but he never mention that there was any one by the name of Jesus forming this group. In fact, it is accepted in academia that Christianity was most certainly formed from older religious organization. The Gnostic for example, is the cited as the closest to Christianity; in fact, they spoke about a Christ, though mystical, non-bodily, or one can say an essence, that its followers strive to be like or embodied, in much the same way as today’s Christian goal is to be like Christ.
On the other hand, Josephus' quote about Christ found in his “Antiquity of the Jews” is universally accepted by biblical professors and scholars to have been a fabrication. Outside of that history remain intensively silent on this Jesus character.
Jesus' Tomb Found in Israel, Filmmakers Claim
Thirdly, quite recently it was claimed that a tomb bearing the name of Jesus’ and his family members had been found in a suburb of Jerusalem, Israel. The founders “base their claims on the study of ten ossuaries—stone boxes used to hold the bones of the dead—that were unearthed at an Israeli construction site in 1980. Inscriptions on the boxes, in addition to DNA tests of tiny bits of tissue found inside, suggest that the cave was the final resting place of Jesus, his disciple Mary Magdalene, and their son, the filmmakers said.”
Of course, and quite understandable, this finding was seen as not true by many Christians. Although not the defense used by these Christians, this finding alone is not proof of the Biblical Jesus. In fact, Jesus, according to the Bible, alone was buried in the tomb, and he did not remain in the there either; he, as the Bible reported, was raised from the dead bodily and flew off to heave. So, base on Bible, it is imposable to find bones in a tomb belonging to the Biblical Jesus.
Also, it sounds a little odd to have a person name Jesus being an Israelite. Nevertheless, the discovers claimed that “six of the boxes are inscribed with names of prominent figures from the New Testament, they noted,” and “the inscriptions, written in ancient Aramaic, include "Jesus, son of Joseph;" "Maria," possibly referring to the mother of Jesus; "Mariamne," said to be the real name of Mary Magdalene; and "Judah, son of Jesus."
Now, if this is indeed the Biblical Jesus, which they cannot prove, then the Jesus so-called inflated miraculous Jesus-story that Christianity is built upon collapses, hence the Christian denial. Another aspect of this interesting story is that another box was taken from the tomb years before it was said to be “discovered.” This box or “the James Ossuary is an ossuary,” is “a limestone box for containing bones, which came to light in Israel in 2002. It is claimed to have been the ossuary of James the Just, the brother of Jesus.” On the box appears ancient writing that “bore an inscription יעקוב בר יוסף אחוי ד ישוע (Yaakov bar Yoseph Achui de Yeshua) "James son of Joseph, Brother of Jesus." However, the writing that appears to be the only ancient writing that has any connection to Jesus was eventually concluded by professionals to be, although some denied, a modern forgery.
“Limor Livnat, Israeli Minister of Culture, mandated the work of a scientific commission to study the suspicious finds. IAA began an intensive investigation into the affair. As for the James Ossuary, epigraphers of IAA concluded that the inscription was modern. Chalk type of the ossuary did match with the type of chalk in various other ancient ossuaries. However, Yuval Goren and Avner Ayalon of GSI identified three different coatings in the ossuary, the last of which was artificial and covered only the inscription. Letters had been cut through the patina and covered with artificial coating. Different parts of the text in different styles had been copied from a catalog of Jewish ossuaries and possibly carved by the aid of scanning software. The ossuary was authentic - albeit unusual in shape - but the inscription was a fake.
As for the Jehoash Inscription, the commission concluded that various mistakes in the spelling and the mixture of different alphabets indicated that this was a modern forgery. The stone was typical to western Cyprus and areas further west. Patina over the chiseled letters was different from that of the back of the stone and could easily be wiped off the stone by hand.” Also, it is said that “the Israeli Antiquities Authority has never offered any report explaining why it concluded the ossuary is a forgery. Therefore, a number of international experts refuse to agree that it is a forgery until the IAA allows scholars to review its findings.”
In conclusion, I am not impressed at all, if this tomb turned out to be Jesus. It will just conform what we have been saying all along. The Jesus story is just a Myth copied from much older stories, and the people holding onto that myth have not, and in my view, cannot provide any substantial or empirical evidence that will make their myth worthy of the slightest ponder of being real.

Was There an Individual Named Jesus That Ever Existed?

Does Religion do more harm than Good?
By:Goreg Fapet Re.
Jesus’ (God’s) words.
If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)
But as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me. (Luke 19:27)
This is one of the many questions that many religious people side steep. However, a poll was conducted in the UK concerning this very question. According to the poll, “82% say faith causes tension in country where two thirds are not religious.” Not only that, the history of religion is very clear of what great harm religion can cause (Christianity [religion] ruled the dark ages). Christianity against Jews, Christianity against Islam, remember the crusades; also, the Church (Catholic) killing of whom they called heretics. What about the so-called religious people who claimed that they were fleeing England too America because of religious persecutions, and in turn, turned-around and kill women (Witches) and many others because of the same religious belief. Religious dogmatism does not go away, until the religion is drastically changed or eliminated. In fact, Islam is a perfect example of a religion, in our time, spreading horror on the planet in the name of sky-daddy (Allah).
The poll continues, “More people in Britain think religion causes harm than believe it does good, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today.” Also, “it shows that an overwhelming majority see religion as a cause of division and tension - greatly outnumbering the smaller majority who also believe that it can be a force for good.”
The truth is, those who believe that religion is or can be a force for good, are their own convection, and I am sorry that their religious indoctrination block their ability to think critically. Thus, they are block from seeing that they are just or naturally good people. The majority is right, and this is the camp I am in. For example, I and many others like me are and continued to be ridicule for not accepting things on blind faith. My decision to question what I was taught to believe blindly I was ridicule for expressing my thought, I was call mad, evil, crazy etc. Yes, religion cause harm; it definitely cause division and tension, and you super righteous Christians know what I am talking about.
The Poll:Religion does more harm than good

They Were Never True Believers
By: Goreg Fapet Re
Child abuse in the name of religion.
"I beat him severely with canes until they broke, yet he never shed a tear," said Eshiett Nelson Eshiett, 76. "One day, I took a broom to hit him and he started crying. Then I knew he was possessed by demons. ... Nigerian witches are terrified of brooms."
From that day two years ago, Christian, now 14, was branded a witch. The abuse intensified.
"They would take my clothes off, tie me up and beat me," he told CNN in a telephone interview.
The teen is one of the so-called witch children in Eket, a city in oil-rich Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria.
They are blamed for causing illness, death and destruction, prompting some communities to put them through harrowing punishments to "cleanse" them of their supposed magical powers.
"Children accused of witchcraft are often incarcerated in churches for weeks on end and beaten, starved and tortured in order to extract a confession," said Gary Foxcroft, program director of Stepping Stones Nigeria, a nonprofit that helps alleged witch children in the region.
Many of those targeted have traits that make them stand out, including learning disabilities, stubbornness and ailments such as epilepsy, he added.
Abuse of child 'witches' on rise, aid group says
Is this incident above part of religion? Is this what religion supposed to do? Think before answering.
I ask these questions because most religious people, to whom I afton speak, mostly Christian and Muslims always make excuses for wrong committed in the name of their religion. In fact, if they are not making excuses, they are trying to distance their religion and their God from those committing crimes, who intrestinly most often claimes that their actions were indeed taken in the name of God.
In fact, what is fascinating to me is that these same individuals committing those crimes were once embraced as an intricate member of the religion they patronized. In Christianity for example, they were, in many cases, placed in authoritative positions (Pastors, priests etc), and indentified as being chosen by God himself to do God’s work; in fact, they were often held up as the real thing; a true Christian model to follow. However, as soon as these once idolized religious men and women commit these atrocious crimes the idea of them being a Christian applies no more. Suddenly the mantra becomes “they were never real Christians.” The pastor molesting minors, the Priest molesting little boys, parents choosing to prayer to heal their children and neglecting the real medical needs of their child’s health, causing these innocent children to suffer and die from easily curable disease, killing people on religious claims, and The Muslim Jihadist or “extremist” are not real Muslims. etc.
In deed, the idea that these religions can distance themselves as not being, in my view, the major driving force behind these crimes is ludicrous. Take these quotes for example;
Ex: 22:18 “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”(King James Version)
Deu: 18:10-11 “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or daughter to pass through the fire or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a chamber, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.” (King James Version)
The Qura’an/Koran: two Quotes, there are many more.
-Sura 9:5 "And when the sacred months are passed, kill those who join other gods with God wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way, for God is gracious, merciful."
-Sura 9:30 "Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the Last Day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled."
Indeed, it can be argued that these individuals were already predisposed to committing these crimes, but there is no doubt, as I have shown above through those quotes, that these religions do provide the driving force behind most of these crimes. On the other hand, the pedophile pastors and priests are individuals, I believe, that intentionally find themselves into these positions so that they can engage in these demonic actions. In fact, they might just have been chosen by God himself. Think about it!
If it is true that these people were not true Christians and it is truly God who calls individuals to these positions, then God must be blame for choosing these people. In fact, we are told that God suppose to be “all knowing,” which will include him knowing what men and women’s thoughts are going to be before he or she even perceived of thinking about it.
Also, if these individuals put themselves or were placed, by the “devil,” in these positions of power, then this “loving” God have not the slightest bit of care for anyone, in-light that these positions are supposed to be field by people promoting his agenda.
The fact is, to accept the clams that these criminals were not true Christians, Muslims Jews, etc after committing these crimes is sickening. They were, and the crimes they committed do not, all of a sudden, makes them unreligious. To accept such ludicrous claims is to abandon the right path to understand and identifying the real cause of these crimes, as we try to protect ourselves, our children and the innocents. It is unquestionable whither religious belief s are indeed the foundation and driving force behind many of these criminals.

Who is the real curlprit?
BY: Goreg Fapet Re
I have been told by many of my Christian friends that I am not thought or enlighten by the “Holy Spirit.” As a result, I could not understand the Bible; in fact, it is funny that I even refer to them as friends at all. Let me explain why. The word friend here is really referring to the love and kindness I extend to the Christian people that I know personally, even though what we accept is quite different; however, the same claim, I don’t believe, can be made by them towards me. This is so because, as they claim, I refuse to repent, confess to and accept their God/Jesus as my Lord and savior, and as a result, by not doing such; I will be place in a pit or lake of fire to be burn forever. One’s love and kindness for someone else cannot be place on a condition. Either you are a loving and kind person towards someone else or you don’t, and in this case, not painting every believer with a broad brush, “God-fearing” people are not technically friendly people because of their belief. Most wish harm on you if you refuse to accept their religious claims.
Nevertheless, I don’t need the so-called “Holy Spirit” enlightenment just so that I can read and understand one of the worst written peaces of literature, the Bible. All I need is a good education and my natural ability to employ common sense. In fact, I strongly suggest getting good education and learning to employ common sense to the “Holy Spirit,” and as a result, I hope, it can help the people who relies on it/him or her for their ability to read and comprehend may be better served.
Here is an example, and this is one of many stories not exposed for what it is, where the Christians/Jews and Muslims blame an Egyptian Pharaoh for enslaving the so-called Israelites. Contrary, a simple reading of the story revile the reverse, not only is the story forged from a group of people called the Hyksos who invaded, conquer and ruled Egypt until they were eventually run-out from the country, it was the Israelites own God who sent them into the so-called claimed condition of slavery in the first place. If God was the so-called “all-knowing” and “all-wise” God these religious people claimed him to be, he would have known that sending his “chosen people” into Egypt was a bad idea, and as a result, make the wise choice of not sending them; nevertheless he did. So, in that case, one cannot lay blame on the Egyptians for the alleged Israelites enslavement, but God. Let face it, even though enslaving anyone is totally wrong, the Egyptian society was and would have continued to be fruitful with or without the Israelites presence. The Egyptians did not go looking for the Israelites to enslave; instead it was their God who sent them there.
As time pass, according to Ex: 3:7, the Israelites “were fruitful and increased abundantly,” they “multiply and grew exceedingly mighty.” However, as a new Egyptian ruler arose, which is very unlikely the he did not know Joseph since Joseph was the most influential Israelites in the country, and as a King one had to be taught all aspect of the kingdom her or she must ruled, the indigenous population complained to him about the Israelites and their amassed power, and as a result of fear, the new king increased the burden upon the Israelites. As expected, the Israelites complained to their God who in turned became infuriated with the Egyptians for inflecting his “chosen people," but did God fail to remember that it was his plan to send them into Egypt?
Nevertheless, God choose one of his best, Moses, to take-up his plan to “free” the people whom he had sent into bondage. In fact, the plan was an extremely diabolical one at that. After appearing to Moses in a bush that was on fire but was not burning Ex:3:1, he proceeded to tell Moses “so I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from the land to a good and large land,…….” Ex:3:8
In verse 3:10 he said to Moses “come now, therefore, and I (God) will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my (God’s) people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” However, here is what God said, “but I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by my mighty hand.” Ex 3:19.
Why God is so sure that this is what will happen? I know! Your answer will be he is God; he knows everything, and he knows what’s best. Then the wider question is why God didn’t know that the Israelites were going to be enslaved? Was sending his “chosen people” into slavery his intention? In that case the answer must also be yes, and that will unfold as we move on.
At, this point, God will revert to violence, he kill people for a situation he purposely created. According to the Bible, God said “so I stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.” Ex: 3:20
Here is how God went about cleaning up his mess. Remember that earlier God said he knew that the Pharaoh will not let the “chosen people” people go. Here is why he knew that, according to Ex 4:21, God said; “…..I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.” The Hebrew word here for Harden is (#2388) Chazaq which means “to fasten upon, to be strong, and to be courageous.” Thus, the quote is saying that God will make the Pharaoh hold his ground, or remain steadfast in his convection.
It is clear that God was playing a game to accomplish a personal goal; to show of his so-called powers. He was not really concern with the betterment of his so-called chosen people. I am certanily positive that if God was not involve, this situation would not have developed. The "Isralites" would have certanily come to the conclusion that it was dangarous and stupid to send themselves into this condition. Nevertheless, by Ex 5:1-2, Moses and Aaron went on their mission, and as expected the Pharaoh asks a very valid and quite simple question “who is this LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go.” But was the Pharaoh asking this question because he just wanted to be antagonist to Moses, Aaron and his God? From what Moses God said earlier, one can surmise that the Pharaoh’s action was instigated by God himself because he claimed he will harden the Pharaoh’s heart. After that, according to the Bible, the Pharaoh gave the “chosen people” more intense work. So who does one lay the blame on, God or the Egyptian? It is clare that God wanted that out-come.
Moses then went back and complains to his diabolic God Ex 5:22-23, and in Ex 6:1, God’s diabolical plan becomes clear, “then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh…..” in verse 6, the “anger” or, should I say, pretend anger of God can be seen. This anger was more like a, haaaaa, ha, ha this is exactly what I wanted; I’ll show these bastards what I can do. God then sent back his men to the Pharaoh, but again hardens the heart of the Pharaoh Ex: 7:3, and after showing off his amazing “so-called” powers, for example, causing farming, plague etc; here is the reasons God gave for doing all this, so “that I (God) may show these signs of mine before him (Pharaoh),” Ex 10:1. Down right diabolical, evil.
Interestingly, one may think that the Pharaoh keep holding his position, no he didn’t. The argument can be made that God, at that time, remove the curse of harden heart from the Pharaoh because the “Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in hast, and said, I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you,” take your people including you children and depart. Ex 10:24-26. However, that was not good enough, which was fair, the Israelites’ livestock should have gone with them, no doubt, but, they had God on their side, doesn’t he have the power do anything. He just showed it off. Right!! I am sure he could have provided; could he? However, God did not like getting out so soon. The killing was not enough. Let’s stay and play some more, so he again harden the Pharaoh’s heart. Which leads God to kill more people including every Egyptian’s first-born etc, Ex 11:5, which again soften the Pharaoh’s heart and release them Ex 12:31. God again harden the Pharaoh’s heart, allowing the Egyptian’s army to chase after the fleeing Israelites, just to drown them all in the reed sea.
With all these facts showing God’s diabolical character, the Pharaoh is still called “stubborn” Ex:13:15. Yes he appears that way, but, without being engulf with the enlightenment of the “Holy Spirit” one can plainly see that it was God who made the Pharaoh stubborn, all done in an effort to accomplish his main gold, the love for killing mass amount of people.

Grenadians, Time to Wake up.
By: Goreg Fapet Re:
Most of us (Grenadians) are staunch followers and participants in our yearly euphoric time, carnival. We dance to the beat of beautiful soca and calypso music composed and performed by talented musicians. However, how many of us pay attention to the words or lyrics put-fourth by some of these talented people? I ask this question for these reasons.
Some years ago, one of these talented musicians, Beast (His stage name), wrote a song where he apologetically and, in my view, intentionally mention the sadistic behavior of a Catholic’s Priest molestation of children (Boys). If I remember quite clearly, he was ridiculed, my many, for his unapologetic view. The truth is, this isn’t just a view, it is the truth, and excuses must not be made for the behaviors of these so-called God/Jesus loving men and women.
Apprehensive behaviors display by these “God fearing” men and women are indeed a common-place in all of these Abrahamic religion, and in all of the different cults that make-up each umbrella religion (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), not just the Catholic Church.
Nevertheless, reported recently is a report, form Ireland, that continue to expose the Catholic Church and its darkness. According to the report, a “Commission, chaired by a High Court judge, blasted successive generations of priests, nuns and Christian Brothers -- a Catholic religious order -- for beating, starving and, in some cases raping,” after “the Commission interviewed 1,090 men and women who were housed in 216 institutions including children’s homes, hospitals and schools.” The report says that “They told of scavenging for food from waste bins and animal feed, of floggings, scaldings and being held under water. There were underwear inspections and in one case, a boy was forced to lick excrement from a priest’s shoe.” The investigation began point was at the 1930s onwards.
Quite interestingly, the report says that “the Rape happened in some case.” I disagree, the raping of children was, and maybe still is, an ongoing aspect of the Church. After all, the Church’s authority is made up of sex-deprived, pedophiles “God-fearing” men and women. There is absolute no doubt that these man and women joined the Church because they find the church to be the right best place for their kind to congregate. Indeed, that’s where the children are. Bees always flock to where the honey is. This then brings God into the question. If this supposed super-being knows all things, even what you are going to think of before you actually does the thinking then he must have known the characteristics of those he was going to let joined his so-called preset-hood and sister-hood, church organizations that supposed to serve him and teach people in his “good” way. Why wasn’t this God, who supposedly loves little children, protecting them? I know, the best answer given when one began questioning God is always, “don’t question God, he knows best.” Well, I agree, God do knows best, and he surly knows who he is letting into his so-call brother-hood and sister-hood, and that’s one of the many reasons why this God is not worthy of any respect, or maybe doesn’t exist at all.
“The report slammed the Department of Education for its failure to stop the crimes.” That’s true, but if there was a God or a God that really cares there would not have been any crimes in the first place, and let face the truth, as religious minded people, you all believe that these criminals are most certainly ordained by God, and you all accept this lie as fact, without questions and without any reservations. In fact, some of you will enthusiastically chastise, in the name of this uncaring God, those that have the courage to stand-up and question their outrageous claims. You all will revert to call them mad, crazy and associate them with everything evil; sadly, not realizing that the truth is the apposite.
In conclusion, let me say this, by believing that it is God who gave these religious authoritarian leaders their positions, you are unquestionably given-up your power and transfer it to these maniacs, and here in lies the reason why reports of these crimes were not and, in my view, will never stopped, until more of us stand up and question. You guys believe that these men and women are God’s people; you believe that they are “God-fearing” men and women and are closer to this God than you are, and, as a result, you need them to mediate for you, and therefore, they do not, can not and will not do such demonic things.
Wake up ya’ll!!!

Thought for food
By: Duamutef(Doyle)
I am really not a religious fan, in fact; I had solemnly sworn not to even entertain the thought of religiousness. Yet, trapped between the hard place of my endless damnation of life in punishment and the rock of my so-called salvation, my self converses with me about the half truths that is told, and the malevolent intention of those (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) who spread the dogmatism of religious concepts. What am saying is that their religiosity would not permit them to speak truth. Let us look at a major religious character, Jesus, who by the way can not be traced historically, yet, his so called lineage can be traced to a real tribe in Africa, but Christianity can't even teach that the tribe they use to truly-ify their god is of African descent. Jewish people don't live in tribes, or correct me.
Another point is that, the religious world showcase Egypt to be the land of paganism baring them any chance of being God's children, yet historically, the Egyptians are known as one of the most spiritual cultures ever. Comically, Egypt is used in their stories to prove how powerful or how not powerful their god is. Mischievously he (God) allowed his chosen children to be captured and enslaved by the Egyptians, for 430 years, and then he made the Pharaoh to believe this guy was his son or something like that. So the Pharaoh grew him up, then god used him to guide his chosen enslaved, broken, beaten children to freedom. But first, they have to cross the red sea, go over a mountain, bleach across a desert and eventually march around a wall that protects a city in order to break the wall down, and as if that was not enough, they were force to kill the inhabitants there and take their land. By the way, the Egyptians have no record of so -called Jews being enslaved in Egypt, and if they were slaves there, then what were the rest of the Egyptians doing? Was it the Jewish slaves that built the pyramids?
Furthermore, speaking of the pyramids, they have proven to be in existence for over 5000 years, and that's by the western world’s data, yet there are no signs of the pyramids ever being submerged under water in a grand deluge. According to Christianity, Islam and Judaism, the earth is no more than 7000 years old. Yet we have historical evidence of Kenyans and Ethiopians existing 3.2 million years ago, and not to be-labor my points, but if the earth is only 6000 or 7000 years old, then why are we in the year 2000? Ok, so I did it again; here I go entertaining thoughts of religiousness, but you must know that these simple thoughts has just caused my total damnation for life or death in the hole, called hell, forever, because I have just become a little bit more convince, that I would not even consider any more religious thoughts.
Pray for me!!

Why should I believe in a God that doesn’t give a shit about babies?
By: Goreg Fapet Re (Seon)
I was told by a lovely Christian Grenadian last week, in a conversation, that I did not trust God, “of course I don’t,” I answered. “Have you taken a look at what religion, especially yours, has been doing to people around the world lately?” I asked her, and as expected the answer was no. In fact, she was not really interesting in understanding my position at all, nor was she particular in hearing about the realities concerning her religion. Indeed, my question to her was not to lecture her on her religion’s history, but to set the ground work to explain my lack of trust in her fairytale God. However, my attempt was to no avail. “You must put all you trust in God,” she commanded me, with her finger outstretched. Certainly, I did not get too explained by position, and this is the basic outline of most of my encounters with these over zealot religious people. They are always quick to condemn and quick to judge, but very slow to listen and think. Nevertheless, here is one of the many reasons I do not believe in your religion nor trust you God.
“ A couple who told authorities they were trying to rid a toddler of demonic possession when she died, have been indicted for her murder — a murder that included the child being beaten with a hammer, slammed into stationary objects and finally strangled.” This is what religion turn otherwise rational people into, cool blooded murders, evil sadistic people, etc.
