yes there are a lot of questions posed and also a lot of unsatisfactory replies given as well.

When in doubt always seek answers from a pastor,minister,priest or even a pope I am sure they all have some sort of answers not necessary the same answers but sufficient enough until another problem pops up.Same with the other religions which is designed to help people cope with community and social issues.

No proof! not good enough as Mary was a virgin.Yes, Chrismas is too commericalised now to be a religious celebration.

haha, true that. don't understand why jesus being of virgin birth was like such a big hoohah though. egyptian and hindu gods are also recorded as being born of a virgin, died and resurrected as well.

while these people are nice and all to ask, i feel that they give only a one-sided view of the matter. try asking a religion anthropologist as well, if you happen to be in a uni.

Yes and such births were common with the Gods in the Greek Mythology,prolly where & how his holy birth concept came to have originated from.

I asked these people before lah! Whenever I am not satisfied with their answers and prope further, they got stuck and always use this famous sentence : We cannot comprehend God, He is beyond human's understanding, that is why He is called God.
I have a friend who pose a very good question. He wondered God created humans or humans created God ?

Some people might say that God is already in you and therefore only you could solve your own personal problem,these people can only give hints they are not you....they have their own daiy problems just like everybody else.

their answers and replies are always the same, trust in god, god is with you, god loves you, god gives you strength, you must trust god, in god we trust etc etc.
I dun think I can accept these kind of answers.

But if Buddhism is not a religion, then is it still a myth?
Originally posted by Fryderyk HPH:But if Buddhism is not a religion, then is it still a myth?
Too bad, it is a myth due to the fact it is belief without scientific proof.
The greeks and egyptians ones of people reviving from the dead are myths... the bible is actually a history book, not those pagan worship-cults of ancient europe and asia.. Well the New Testament is really a good history book :D

Christians will say God said that the bible is true.

then non christians say bible is false how?
SIGH.
Originally posted by Rooney9:then non christians say bible is false how?
But not scientific provable that God exists.
christians say bible is true. nonchristians say bible is false. hence bible is neither true nor false.
just like god. people say god not here. people say god not there. hence god is neither here nor there. =P

There is no grey area for this question. It can only be that god is a figment of imagination.
