Larry Charles: "Jesus Didn't Exist!"

Did Jesus really live?
Was thare a man named Jesus?
Was Christ the Son of God?
Was Jesus God in human form.
Was Jesus the Creator?

To me the answers to the above question is; NO!!!

I just saw this movie Religulous. I thought it was excellent! It really shows how ignorant organized religious people are and that they generally don't know what it is wholly that they are worshiping. Hilariously scary! You don't need ancient texts to know what is right and what is wrong, but you sure can learn what is wrong from them.

Religion is whatever gets you through the day, whatever makes you want to be a better person, whatever makes you live with a positive moral code... It's your own personal passion, your own personal set of rules. There is no right or wrong religion, as long as you're treating your fellow human's with kindness and respect.

An organized religion that requires people to believe blindly without thinking for themselves? An organized religion that feels the need to impose it's beliefs on others, instead of practicing the concept of "live and let live?" Now THAT is the shit that's bad for society.

I always assumed that Jesus was simply a human being with followers. A COMMUNITY LEADER, IF YOU WILL! It's gonna require quite a bit of proof if they want to refute Jesus' existence, but hey... I'll listen to anything!

Jesus did exist..He still does but not in a human form...

Even the bible says that it is based on faith, based on something you cannot see. Thus, why do people take it so seriously? And why do American christians follow the old test when their Jesus clearly states commandments that make it completely obsolete, like love your neighbor and enemy, not lie about your neighbor nor kill your enemy? May be we should pass a law stating that you cannot practice your religion unless you actually study and understand it.

atheists are exactly the same as Christians

they both sit there and bitch at each other for recruiting people all the time

they call each other closed minded

really look at a bible thumping bookworm outside a church yelling at gay people and look at pen and teller yelling at every body who believe something without evidence

It's widely believed that he did exist, although he was only one of many crackpots proclaiming miracles and to be gods, and people idlise this fool?

My quote after MandyMonroe opportune and good video post "West Wing" - Biblical Quotes.

"You see, if you were more interested in knowing Jesus than debate about its existentially you would know something more than those that are under the Law don't."

Jim ur Ok ....Yur BFF god...

I'm sure it's safe to say he's not the first man of Jewish back-round to not believe in the story of Jesus. lol

if you have questions and doubts about the validity of god or jesus then no church or movie is going to change that for ya. while the secular part of our society allows the religious side to live thier lives as they like the religous parts of our society keep trying to turn the constitution into the gospel of saint america. we accept christmas as a national holiday although millions of us dont celebrate it but i bet in time some church wont be able to restrain themselves and lash out at this movie for the great crime of "having an idea".

Watching it now. Thanks for the link!

i don't like that title

and i'm soooo watching that movie!!

:D

Everyone is entitled to their opinions concerning organized (or disorganized) religions.
As long as no one tries to force their beliefs upon me, we'll get along just fine.

The film kind of blew my mind too. I'd always believed Jesus probably existed, and thought it was only the issue of whether he was the son of God that was up for discussion –– but Give Larry some credit.

This film is very well researched. In it he gives examples of the numerous, almost identical precursors to Christ. All of their stories have many of the same pertinent points: a John the Baptist-like prophet foreseeing their birth, a virgin mother, a group of disciples (often 12), a period in the wilderness, a crucifixion, and a resurrection.

Like Robin Hood or King Arthur, these were popular tales of their time.

people need to relax. This is meant for those who use their religion to answer questions the bible wasn't meant to answer.

I love the story jesus, doesn't matter to me if he is real or not. The meaning behind the message still stands. The stories of morality still hold true. just because some else doesn't believe doesn't mean I forget what I was taught. Instead I practice it by laughing with Bill Maher at the foolish christians who can't seperate the stories of morality and the facts of our knowledge.

Oh yeah there is no proof of anything, that's why its called faith. See ya'll on sunday

i wasn't able to access the link, but if larry charles honestly believes that Jesus never existed, then i have to say that it's somewhat ironic.

the plot behind this religulous movie is to try and expose the ridiculousness of people's faith, particularly in christianity, and how they are unable to rationally back it up. my question is, how do you rationally back up a statement like "Jesus didn't exist"?

any historian or archaeologist worth his/her weight in salt knows that at the very least this guy walked the earth, and was likely crucified. the question is, 'was it significant in any way, shape, or form?' but for charles to come out making a statement on blind faith like this, i have to point out the inconsistency in him pointing out others' 'religulous' beliefs.

...Jesus as a person propably did exist...and he was in tune with the Universal thoughts of Love and Kindness.....like so many others through out time and space....and tried among great confusion to place things before the inhabitants of Earth....they could not understand or accept...and the messages of Love have been as twisted as a pretzel.....and all messengers of Kindness have been treated poorly out of fear...so the lesson learned....worship the message...not the messenger....next time you order a pizza....hug the delivery boy....throw the pizza away....you Will probably still be hungry...Golden Ruler...Will.....
