Anyone know of documentaries about the history of the bible

P.S. love for humanity does not mean you "hypocritally" love everyone... I will keep on kicking fascists, nazis, priests and such elements in the ass.

are you a male or female? And why the secret?

Why the gender-centric interrogation?

It's observably a female. Or a very good imitation of one.

In fact myr confided in me that she is thinking of changing her user name to Phyllis MacHunt . The two of you could get married and hyphenate your surnames. What a lovely couple. Can I be best man?

You'd first have to be a man, which means that by some way or another you're going to have to get laid. When it happens, do send us all an e-card to mark the improbable event.

Posting it twice doesn't make it funnier. Now get out of the way, your sequins are glaring.

Wondering what the child of McCock and MacHunt would be more like, PeeWee Herman or David Spade?

historical jesus never existed. just made up. read carotta:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Carotta

posted it before on this forum: the gospel of ceasar doc.

jesus story was made up by flavius josephus, jew that worked for romans.

then there's the gunnar samuelsson research:

”Gunnar Samuelsson investigates the philological aspects of how ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, including the New Testament, depict the practice of punishment by crucifixion. A survey of the ancient text material shows that there has been a too narrow a view of the “crucifixion” terminology. The various terms are not simply used in the sense of “crucify” and “cross,” if by “crucifixion” one means the punishment that Jesus was subjected to according to the main Christian traditions. The terminology is used much more diversely. Almost none of it can be elucidated beyond verbs referring vaguely to some form(s) of suspension, and nouns referring to tools used in such suspension. As a result, most of the crucifixion accounts that scholars cite in the ancient literature have to be rejected, leaving only a few.
The New Testament is not spared from this terminological ambiguity. The accounts of the death of Jesus are strikingly sparse. Their chief contribution is usage of the unclear terminology in question. Over-interpretation, and probably even pure imagination, have afflicted nearly every dictionary that deals with the terms related to crucifixion as well as scholarly depictions of what happened on Calvary. The immense knowledge of the punishment of crucifixion in general, and the execution of Jesus in particular, cannot be supported by the studied texts.”

Most important to understand is that the jesus story is a continuation and alteration of the deified ceasar story.

there's more to it, just read the carotta book, or site.

except you're not, are you? Kicking fascists, nazis etc in the ass is a bit too much like doing something productive for you... what you are actually into doing is shouting a lot of useless shit at random people on internet forums...

it is an italian idiom, don't take it literally. It means: fight unjustice, racism and violence.

you don't say
everyone with a little culture knows that Jesus is a copy of the ancient mithra legend (born in a stable, mother was a virgin, dead and reborn after three days etc.). Regarding the real Jesus Christs it's not that they did not exists, they were real during roman empire in 40 BC till 40 AD. They were thousands and romans crucified them. It was like the modern electric chair, nothing else. Now: think about the "religious" and "taboo" meaning of the cross nowadays and imagine a cult of the "electric chair"...

Rote: you missed this bit-

Francesco Carotta's research runs contrary to all previous theories on the historical Jesus. Carotta postulates that the historical person behind the Biblical figure Jesus Christ was not Jesus of Nazareth, but the Roman statesman Gaius Julius Caesar, from whose cult Christianity developed over the course of several generations.

Heard this before. Interesting, sure, but who knows if it's correct?
