I think one thing Bozo is trying to make a point on is that regardless as to what Christ did/didn't do, the world has been unalteratably affected by him. He has set the course which history has followed to this day.
Making him incredibly powerful and influential as a resident of this planet.
Is that correct/remotely close Bozo?
We're in the same ballpark. In the decades and centuries after his death more and more people believed in his divinity and the associated stories, till they reached a 'critical mass' and began changing the world, and the future. Paul might have been a more pivotal figure than Jesus himself. It was Paul who spread the new faith to the Gentiles (including the Romans). If it hadnt been for Paul we might not even know who the Jews are, let alone Jesus.
Truth requires nothing; it just is. Things in the physical universe require some level of consciousness to get a glimmer of what is True.
Bozo, what you say about Jesus is equally true for Krishna, Buddha and Mohammed too.
Absolutely, just about any historical figures or event. Theres what
really happened, which only matters at that moment, and then theres what people later on believe. In humanities 'after action reports', belief always trumps truth.
"Good" and "evil" are created by those who believe in them.
Yeah thats what Im saying. Good and evil only exist in the human universe. You can travel all over the universe in a spaceship for a million years, looking for them, but the only good or evil you find will be what you brought along with you.
Exactly. Things are valuable because we believe they are.
Like Birdjaguar says, 'God alone is'. Everything is God, so therefore the concept of value must be meaningless to God. Do we value our left foot more than our right foot, our pancreas more than our liver? No. We only concieve of value because we imagine that we and everything in the universe are seperate and different.
Things do not have value because certain people, or a particular number of people believe them. People believe them because they have a certain value, or perceive to represent a certain truth.
Whats the value of a pulsar or an interstellar dust cloud?
Interesting, Bozo, that you start a thread talking about how nobody believes what's written in the Bible, and then another thread talking about how everybody does...

I think if you read the other thread carefully, you'll find that everybody believes in Jesus, they just dont believe in the Bible, especially the Christians
He's come a long way.
Almost makes me want to reach for a Virginia Slims and run backwards on a beach in slow motion, laughing with a sweater tied around my neck, as a small black barking dog runs after me.
You didn't know Bozo has a split personality? Sometimes the DP side of Bozo shows up.
Dr Jekyll and Mr High
The majority of people during the 18th Century believed that slavery was right, but that did not make it so.
Thats what you believe because you
dont live in the 18th century. You dont believe that everyone in the 18th century was evil, do you? Or dumber than you?
Nice thought. Unfortunately, it's not true, according to Jesus Himself:
John 8:42-44
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Quasar, but then how come when Jesus taught us how to pray, he began with 'Our Father, who art in heaven...'
