I can't prove...

...how much worse things might have been had Jesus never been born...maybe the world would have been a better place without him. Could it have been worse? I can't prove that and neither can his followers...but there is something I can prove and they can't deny: that in his name and because of his existence, many, many acts of cruelty beyond belief HAVE been committed which would not have been but for him.

...for one thing, six million Jews would not have been murdered in so short a space of time, or at all. At least not for BEING Jews. The Holocaust is only one of the curses Jesus brought with him. It is beyond doubt that Jews would never have suffered as they did had Jesus never been born. To Jews, Jesus was a plague...the worst catastrophe imaginable...and that is beyond a shadow of doubt...before he came no one hated Jews as they did after him. That is only one of the "gifts" he, and only he, brought.

..people will say, "but those were the WRONG kind of Christians". If any college course or drivers education course failed as often and as miserably as Christian teachings have, we would have gotten rid of it long ago, fired all the teachers and probably burned down their classrooms...or put them to better use. You can only go on blaming the students for the Teacher's bad performance for so long...when this many Christians get it THIS wrong, there's something wrong with Christianity and not the people.

No one has started wars over Evolution....or atheism. But millions upon millions have been killed because of the Prince of Peace and his "teachings".

And really, what did Jesus teach that was new and unique and never heard of before he came? Nothing...nothing worthwhile. Sure, he has been given the credit, by his people, of inventing sliced bread and everything else we enjoy today...but those are just their lies. Kindness, love, the willingness to lay down ones life for another, all of this existed well before Jesus. The only thing he brought was the idea that an innocent person could be put to death to pay for the crimes of another...and that is a HORRIBLE thing to teach because it robs us of personal responsibility and goes against our basic law codes...it is a disruptive and destructive force...not something good.

Which brings us to claims, from the first days, of Christian "persecution"....Christians were not liked, and for good reason. Early Christians refused their civic responsibilities...they refused to defend their country...they refused to participate in communal life but held themselves apart and superior, for all their annoying play at humility. More than likely, from the very beginning, Christians were PROsecuted, not persecuted...as they love to claim.

Just look at them now with their teary claims of having their Christmas "attacked"! Who attacks Christmas? All we have said is that we don;t want their holiday shoved down OUR throats...but to them that is an ATTACK....and they insist we stop...when all we've done is yawn and say "not interested". I bet they were doing this from the beginning: insisting that they were being PERSECUTED when it was just natural revulsion and a lack of interest.
