Jesus existed there are countless accounts for his life. I don't believe he resurrected because i dont beleive in the bible.
The bible was written by Apostles, bias. Just people that believed in something and wrote it down. The way i look at it, its just something that caught on and influenced alot of people. So they taught there children and there children and people are born with this faith with no choice. Religion is forced on them.
The bible referred to slavery in one of the original amendments, and as women being inferior. Just the point of view of a cult of men that wrote it down. Proof right there since slavery was common and woman was always considered inferior in most parts of the world untill the last century. So the men continued the bias in the bible.
Science overrules the bible.
The catholic church even acknowledges the bible is not to be used for historical reference. And it's pretty obvious how much bullshit the old testament is.
And the devil possessed a snake so god took away snake's legs.
To punish eve god gave women birth pain.(gave adam nothing, woman inferior)
come on now tell me that doesnt sound like greek mythology.
Then theres the argument the old testament is just storys made to live your life by. Bullshit i dont beleive in false hope.
Dont even get me started on the catholic church.

I think you are basically right, however, the bible is a mix. There is some truth and wisdom within the writing. The problem, as I see it, is that people take it way too literal and they are too serious about their own beliefs.

Name three outside of Christian scriptures/books based on scriptues? I'm willing to learn, but I don't think there are any (maybe a couple of one sentance references here and there?), although I also suppose that he existed.

There are loads of books based on scripture. Different author's tellings of the story of Moses, of Noah, of Job, I just don't have any of the author's names right now. My godmother's husband is really into the retelling of those stories. Funny thing is he's not religious in the least.
Ive seen it all over the history channel, i know the romans accounted for jesus in there own documents.
Its official there was a jesus of nazereth who walked the earth, and impacted the way we breathe and think. But its just because he drew a crowd and it caught on. Or i cant even say that i dont know. If there was a jesus then is what the apostles say true? but they all contradict each other. So it has to be bullshit. I seem to be becoming skeptical with myself.
here is another interesting theory. In a show called Beyond the Da vinci code on the history channel. There were theory's that the bible had been altered by the early church elders. So it'd be somewhere around 100 a.d. im guessing.
This is the conclusion i drew b/c the show never told u why it may of been changed, except for some of it may of been different then the church elders beleifs.
I think its completley possible because back in the day i know the catholic church was horrible. It tortured people and did this and that it was practically hell itself from what ive heard. So it wouldnt be that unrealistic if the elders changed it because they didnt think part of it was fitting.
However there is no proof for this what so ever, just a theory. The only proof is more theory's.
Here was something else that caught my attention. Jesus was married. In the bible it shows references to Jesus having a relationship with Mary Magdalene. The bible never says she's a prostitute it's just something thats been assumed and adapted. They took the references from the way the apostles talked to them. In lists of woman in many of them Mary Magdalene was at the top.
Then there's the reason why the hell would the church elders cut that out, possibly because woman were considered inferior.
This draws from the davinci code in the picture of the last supper, where they say that might not be john it may be mary magdalene.
It may be just to over-read into. Then again i dont give a **** because i dont beleive in the bible anyways.
