That we tend to pick and agree with things that support our world view does not make the things that don't fit wrong or unfounded. One day we will all have the Oh well or Oh shit moment.<br /><br />3:16Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-40826512361686998902015-12-21T07:37:02.398+13:002015-12-21T07:37:02.398+13:00...or like saying that The Magnificent Seven isn&#......or like saying that The Magnificent Seven isn't real because there was an earlier movie called The Seven Samurai with exactly the same plot of which the later director was a fan. Oh wait... my bad - both of these are works of fiction with absolutely no evidence to support their subject matter, unlike the nativity which is an unassailable historic fact backed up by a wealth of verifiable scientific evidence.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-75805519703450825412015-12-20T15:51:18.224+13:002015-12-20T15:51:18.224+13:00"Disproving" the Nativity of Christ by c..."Disproving" the Nativity of Christ by claiming there were a bunch of myths just like it is a bit like saying things aren't that bad in North Korea because 1984 is only a work of fiction.

Then you do a little research, which involves reading more than one 19th century book, and it collapses like a house of cards as one after another the alleged parallels turn out to be either non-existent or so vague that they're essentially meaningless. <br /><br />John SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-12200402972024507692015-12-19T10:53:47.474+13:002015-12-19T10:53:47.474+13:00Nup mass delusionNup mass delusionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278943621752781478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-4991741822314764602015-12-19T08:07:06.782+13:002015-12-19T08:07:06.782+13:00Same shit, different day.
