A brief history of the founding of Christianity

I host and read a lot of blogs and I participate in a lot of web discussions on the subject of God/religion. It is so frustrating to me to attempt holding a conversation about anything spiritual when there's a Christian involved in the discussion because I have come to realize that Christians, unlike any other group that has opinions or spiritual matters, have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING or knowledge of the history of their own faith. Christians base their very reason for believing in what they believe, on the Bible and that's a lot like buying a used car solely based on the fact that the dealer says it's a good car. You have to do some research on your own before you can make an informed decision. You can't just read the dealer's literature (The Bible) and decide from that.

Christianity claims that the Bible is the "Word of God".
Why would you simply accept such a HUGE claim without investigating? Shouldn't you try to determine who actually wrote the various books of the Bible? Shouldn't you investigate the character of those various authors before you accept that God was writing through them? Shouldn't you try and determine who/how they arrived at the determination that these words were the words of God rather than just wise words written by inspired people?

Were you to do the leg-work yourself, you would find that there is absolutely no reason to believe that the books of the Bible are the "Words of God". Most of the authors of the books don't even dare claim that what they are writing is anything other than wise instruction. Most of the books of the Bible were never even intended to be compiled into one manuscript because they were written by different people at different times in history for people of faiths other than Christianity. Christianity claimed these writings as their own when they were attempting to establish an official doctrine. These books were then edited and later re-edited and revised and some even done away with all together from the Bible. If they really believed these writings to truly be the "Word of God," don't you think that they would not have dared to ever alter them, let alone, remove entire books? Obviously the founders and up-keepers of the official Christian doctrine understand that its doctrine is of man and fear no reprisal from God for altering it.

Christianity claims that Jesus, the foundation of their faith, was the literal "Son of God".
Before you accept another such HUGE claim, shouldn't at the very least, verify that Jesus actually existed and do so from a source other than the Bible? Imagine if you had no religious belief what-so-ever and I approached you and said, God is a talking rock in the desert and he gave me his wise instructions to write for all man kind to follow. Would you simply take my writing and decide whether or not to believe me based upon those writings or would you demand further proof? I'm sure you would require more than my own writing which tells you I'm telling the truth, before you believed me. Would you suspend common sense which tells you that rocks don't talk? I believe you would require more than hearsay in order that you accept such a proposition. Why then do you simply accept the idea that a VIRGIN but married woman became impregnated immaculately - then even further that somehow it can be known that this child was the literal son of God, when the only people making these claims are the people selling the religion?

When you do the research you find that there are NO RECORDS confirming that a person named Jesus was immaculately conceived by a virgin, who by the way was a married woman. If there was an actual Mary & Joseph, you better believe that in a time before the modern calendar was even made and in the middle-east, they were consorting. It is unreasonable to believe that Mary would have been a virgin and even less reasonable that if she had a child that wasn't Joseph's, it wasn't due to anything other than infidelity. Christianity make all sorts of claims of the miracles of Jesus but there are no records ANY WHERE confirming any miracles outside of what's written in the Bible. There isn't even a record of a Jesus being crucified. None of this is surprising when you do the research and discover that Jesus was fabricated during the Council's of Nicaea wherein the bishops of Christianity regularly convened to determine what the beliefs of Christianity would be & what doctrines would be upheld/omitted. When you challenge the piety of the authors of the Christian religion you find that their hands were covered in blood. These were not good people and historically the up-keepers of the Bible were pretty corrupt people. King James, the commissioner of the most widely used version of the Bible was an absolutely horrifying person. King James was a bi-sexual fornicating glutinous monster who had authority over the doctrines of the Christian faith.

In fact; the founders of the Christian faith, usurped the spiritual doctrines, rituals and beliefs nearly every popular faith over a 400 year period. The purpose was to create a religion that had something for every person so as to make the faith palatable to people from a wide array of spiritual backgrounds. Religion was bigger than business and more powerful than politics during that time. Religions were born and died daily. Everyone was trying to get in on the hustle because at the time, it was the means to acquiring the greatest luxury, protection and profit in life. Christianity became such a success because of the fact that its founders were smart enough to duplicate the concepts of every other faith and thereby attract the followers of those faiths. In case you didn't know, the Son of God, born into the flesh, slaughtered and resurrected story, is a remake of the ancient Egyptian story of Heru being born into the flesh by his mother, Auset via magical (immaculate) means in order that he avenge the death of his father, Ausar, who was resurrected as the judge of the souls of men. The story was tweaked to get rid of the parts that wouldn't sell to people outside of Egypt, rearranged to make it consistent with Jewish ideas of the Christ and the characters given names that were similar enough to be accepted by those familiar with the story, but more relatable to the Europeans they were trying to directly market it to. This is why you have no evidence to confirm the miraculous events surrounding Jesus - because they were fabricated. They didn't even bother tampering much with the Torah, the Jewish doctrine, they just took the whole thing and called it the Old Testament. The reason for that action was that the Jewish faith was the dominant faith at the time and Christianity wouldn't have stood a chance at surviving would it have challenged it. In stead, they did the smart thing and decided to join'em since they couldn't beat'em.

Long story short, Christians should learn the history of their own faith and not just the history within the Bible. It seems everybody knows the history of Christianity but Christians. Most people who have chosen to not be Christian have far more intelligent reasons why they are not that Christians have for why they are.

Anywho, I'm vented on this...for now.
