This might make me sound dumb, but how will a DNA test prove it is Jesus? Do they have DNA from Jesus to compare it to? It doesn't make sense.
You could do a DNA test on any dead body that you didn't know who's it was, and claim it was Jesus' DNA. Couldn't you? |
if it doesn't match human DNA, it must be from god |

The thing is, in science there are actual tests of the theories that experts develop; you know, they have to prove that they *work* in some manner and "cash out" in the physical world. Religions have no comparable feature. Apart from archeological and historical debates about their origins, it is all just a game of people who like one book yelling that people who like any other book are all damned to hell or whatever. |

Senior Ed Bloom: You're lucky to get four words out of them in English, but if you were to walk through the jungle, you'd hear them speaking the most elaborate French. Those parrots talk about everything. Politics, movies, fashion. Everything but religion.
Will Bloom: Why not religion, Dad?
Senior Ed Bloom: It's rude to talk about religion. You never know who you're gonna offend. |

I think it's very possible for there to be a certain level of truth to it. While I don't necessarily believe in a higher-being such as a God, I do believe that a lot of what exists in Christian bibles is based off of actually happenings and that God was just a way to explain the unexplainable.
From what I understand, incidents such as Noah's Flood are referenced throughout reading materials from various religions outside of Christianity and mention that it happened about the same time, although not to the extent that the Bible played it off.
Ultimately, I think that a Jesus Christ did exist. Was he the son of God? It's not my place to say yes/no and I don't think we'll ever know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the person in the tomb was him. |

Not to discredit Christ ofcourse, but the Hindu interpretation of Jesus Christ is that was an ordinary man like us. Only, he had realized his divinity and hence he was special. Hinduism declares that all of us are God, only, we are ignorant of this fact. By God I do not mean a supernatural being, rather a symbol of universal consciousness. Whatever that means to you :D There have been countless saints in India who have declared themselves to be God and have given discourses on how to realize this divinity. The latest and a very influential figure of modern hinduism has been quoted in my sig. |

Speaking from personal experience of living with a zealous Christian fanatic under the same roof (namely, my spouse) I can safely say that no amount of evidence, short of walking, breathing, ting, miracle-working Jesus himself saying so (after proving that he, in fact, is _THE_JESUS_*) - would be enough to convince any bible-thumping Christ lover out there. They would not see reality even if it sat on their collective face and took a nice and healthy dump.

*...which kind of would defeat the purpose of proving that Jesus doesn't exist, now, would it?
LOL @ complete opposite of "Passion of Christ". Man, I love this crazy world.
My personal stance can be summed up by this joke/parable:
"Bunch of kids are in school and tearcher comes in one day and says 'Allright kids, the evidence has been found that proves that G-d does not exist. So, feel free to give the finger to the sky'. All the kids extend the middle finger and start shoving it up at the sky above. Only one kid, little Moishe, is sitting still, not pointing any fingers up. The teacher asks him - 'Moishe, didn't you hear? There's no G-d, so, you don't have to be afraid to give the sky your middle finger!'. Moishe says - 'Well, if that's true - then what's the point of giving it the finger? ....but suppose it isn't true - what's the point in burning the bridge?'"

| Let me guess...it's a jewish production. Lets do a documentary on how it's possible that one days worth of oil can, wait for it, wait for it, miraculously(laugh now) burn for eight days. My religion is more righteous than your religion!! Religion is for morons. Theocracies are full of morons. If you believe in any form of religion, you're a weak human being, and a moron. Yes, Isreal, among many other countries, is jam packed full of, wait for it, wait for it, morons(laugh now). |

Totally off-topic, but you wouldn't happen to be a reincarnation of Mr. Pink, would you? |
