The recently unearthed Gospel of Judas "contradicts everything we know about Christianity," says religious historian Elaine Pagels.
  • Science has no basis

    in spirituality. Science is not total utter bullshit, which religion in all it's forms is. Science seeks to illuminate and demonstrate, through practice and testing. It is factual and demonstrative. Religion is all about power and control. Making up fairy tales to instill fear and compliance in people. There is no god. There is no devil. There is no heaven or hell. If they exist, scientifically prove and demonstrate it. I can demonstrate and prove the existence of quarks and gluons and other subatomic matter. Why can't you prove the existence of god? Simple answer: because they don't exist, at any level. We are a product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. What makes Zeus and Apollo any less than the christian god? What makes Mithraism any less valid or demonstrable than christianity? Nothing does. Virgin birth, son of god, messiah, etc are part of all faiths and religions, both existing and dead religions. Religion was created to explain that which was unexplainable for thousands of years. It was threatened by science, when dispelled the voodoo bullshit of the river gods, of the earth gods, of the christian god, etc. That is why Copernicus, Gallileo and others were hated and excommunicated by the the church. It threatened their power and manipulation over the people. Sell your snake oil someplace else where people are more gullible.
