    .... What we know is that before 33AD there was no such thing as Christianity. IMMEDIATELY during and following that period we have a massive migration of people out of old, long held religions into a new religion called Christianity.

    What caused that? The ONLY documentation we have which defines what occurred says that Jesus happened. If you have documentation that attributes it to something else, then present it.

    No. His point is spot on. It's the new social justice campaign to force unpoular views on us till we accept the new norm. Bear in mind these are the same people who give us action movies in which thousands of rounds are fired, hundreds of nameless villains die like in the most popular games and then deny that those offerings have any role in the new mass shooter mentality. Surprisingly enough sometimes I go through a whole hour in a day without encountering any openly gay or trans individuals. You know what, it doesn't even matter unless 'openly gay' means aggressively gay and in your face. It isn't really important in regard to which tires you are buying for your car or what you order for breakfast or who you're making a hamburger for.

    Your questions can be answered by archeology, history and other associated sciences. I don't need any of them to know there is no evidence for the existence of Jesus.

    What massive migration? The New Testament wasn't written in 33AD. What are you talking about?

    I suggest you ask these guys:

    How about the fact that science has proven the earth is far older than what religions would lead us to believe.

    But Christianity was around well before the NT was written. They had churches and thousands of documents where they wrote letters to one another.

    Saying “archaeology” doesn’t explain what happened. Either Jesus was real or there should be another explanation. What is it?

    Prime time only leaves out 100 of characters during daytime and non-prime shows, so I'm going to say say
    the GLAAD is cherry-picking in order to make it appear better for them than what is actually occurring.
    GlAAD also claims that between 6 and 12% of Americans are LGBQ ... so that would still put the ratio in
    the correct proportions (if you want to use GLAAD numbers).

    Incorrect. If you look at Genesis what do you have? You have God attempting to explain to men (who didn’t even know what gravity was) how the universe came into existence. Advanced physics isn’t going to help them understand.

    What he does do however is he describes time periods. Each day was not a 24hr period. We know this because for one day the sun hadn’t even been created. So what was a day? Well the Bible says a day to God is as a thousand years to man. Not a literal thousand years but they’re asserting Gods definition of a day includes far more time than just 24 hours.

    So when we look at Genesis what do we see? We see time periods. These days were not 24 hours... these “Days” were time periods encompassing millions and even billions of years. We are, in fact, still in the seventh day today.

    Lol so the group responsible for figuring out how many gays are on tv is lying to boost their numbers. I’m shocked you believe that. But those numbers are easily verifiable for someone who has the time and desire.

    And for the record in this same article it says that 4.5% of the population is lgbtqjekrdbshekem. So that would mean a more than 200% representation on television.

    So let’s assume those numbers are right. For equity sake we should have less LGBTQUEORNDBEUEN on tv right?

    It’s not religion. It’s a misinterpretation of what God said.

    Does the data suggest that there is systemic racism in the justice department or does it suggest that there is a systemic criminal propensity in black culture?
    I remember seeing this one study where they tracked speeders with a radar and camera by the race of the driver and found that well over 2X of the speeders were black. Does that mean that there is systemic racism in the manufacture of automobile acceleration systems?

    Jesus is a myth. Just like Adam, Eve, Noah, etc., etc. We know the pharaoh existed because we have evidence of pharaohs. There's plenty of historical evidence in the Old Testament. Lots of myth, as well.

    There is absolutely no evidence for the New Testament, other than the books themselves, which were chosen by the Council of Nicea which were a group of Bishops who were overseen by Constantine in 325 AD. While these were chosen, others were rejected. Why is the Gospel of Thomas not included in the Bible?

    Ask the Copts. Or an Ethiopian Orthodox. Those religions are still practiced as they were in the 4th century. Again, the study of how religions take hold, and even how Christianity took hold, is waiting before you if you really wanna know.

    Be careful with that line of reasoning - Scientology had 1 member in the early 60's and over 10 million today - so does that
    exponential growth prove that Scientology is based in truth? Mormonism grew from a handful of people to about 16 million
    in two hundred years. Does that prove that Joseph Smith was really a prophet? The Muslim religion has been the fastest
    growing religion in the world for several decades, do you really want to use how fast a religion grows to prove its validity?

    A study? By whom? Beavis and Butthead? Got a link?

    Yes, culture is at play, but it has to do with being poor, not black.

    During prime time, less - during the rest of day, more. If you want equity, that is. 4% of children's programing would need to
    have gay characters if we use your reasoning.

    There are Egyptian pharaohs whose names and likeness were stricken from the physical record. Does that mean they didn’t exist? Or does it simply mean someone had motive to attempt to make sure people didn’t know he existed?

    As you said the books of the NT were written independently of one another and then compiled. Which means they are not one source but a compilation of many sources. Moreover there are multiples of other sources, which you also referenced, which were not included in the texts of the Bible. Books which I think everyone should read along with their Bible but I digress.

    The problem is that ANY source which mentions Jesus in ANY way you disavow out of hand for the SOLE fact that it mentions Jesus. And then you dishonestly ask for sources for Jesus which you will refuse to believe no matter what is provided to you.

    And last we have a full NT manuscript from 325 AD that is almost identical to the one we have today. If the Bible wasn’t significantly altered in 1700 years, upon what grounds do you assert it was significantly altered in the first 300?

    You have proof of that? So perhaps we have systemic poor bias instead of systemic racism. The point is that when you only look for a solution skin deep, you are likely to come to a skin deep conclusion.

    By the way, the study was done by the New Jersey Justice Dept. in 2002.

    Lol. C'mon, Shadow. You owe me a spit of coffee. Reminds me of a joke. (I'm half Irish, so it's okay)

    An American, a French Canadian and an Irishman walk into a bar. They each order a beer, the bartender serves them, and a fly falls into each of their drinks.

    The American picks out the fly, and throws it on the ground, "Get out of there you nasty fly!"

    The French Canadian throws the fly against the wall, "Tabernac!!!!"

    The Irishman points his finger, looks the fly square in the eye, and says, "SPIT IT OUT!!!!!!"


    Lol. Hope your morning is going well ShadowX.

    Given that GLAAD is pushing now for 20-25% of all characters be LGBTQUDJRNRBDH in the next few years, I don’t think that .4% will be a problem do you?

    And do you think it’s appropriate for 1/5 to 1/4 of all tv characters to be LGBTQJDKRJEIDBDB?

    I'm sure the proof is out there.

    Yes, the ghettos are more heavily policed because crime is in the ghettos and the ghettos are poor. Our black population is low single digits. 5% I think. There is no black area of town. Blacks are integrated. Our ghetto is 99% white. That's where the cops go. Has nothing to do with race.

    Middle-class blacks aren't gangbangin'

    Thanks. Strange idea for a study.

    Showing that blacks speed more than whites in NJ in 2002 doesn't really carry much meaning, though.

    If a story line requires gay characters, or if the creator of the story does so with gay characters in mind, then the number
    of gay characters is what it is. Why should there be a quota? Why wouldn't it be OK for a TV show to have all gay characters -
    we've had numerous ones without any. Why in the **** does this bother you?
