| Your comments on the following statement: Christianity is Hebrew Folklore? My primary reasoning against the validitiy of Christainity (as an Agnostic) is that I see it as "Hebrew Mythology." It's like the equivalent of Greek Mythology, only not from Greeks but from Middle Eastern Jews. To me, it's just another version of how the world came to be by another primitive culture. So why should I care? Especially since my ancestors weren't from the Middle East and have very different cultures. I can't pronounce the names in the Old Testiment, I don't know the geography of the region... and in my opinion: why should I? I think the only people that really should care are people with ancestral roots from the Middle East. Everyone else should just call it foreign culture. Afterall, history shows how Christianity became mainstream: through European politics. But no matter how much they mainstream it, they can't change the fact that it's based on a Jewish culture, and for someone like me it might as well be from Mars. So what is your opinion of this? Is it new? Some of the responses from Christians aren't making sense, but that sort of still indirectly answers my question. (Thank you.) They're very antogonistic against Judaism, treating it as if it were an alien way of life, yet not realizing that Christianity is an offshoot: same people, same place, same style, same scope. Why would any educated Chinese person, American Indian, African take it literally? Thanks for all your replies. Keep answering if you want, but I'm going to share my personal feelings towards my statement: I think the statement is a big in-your-face religion-killer! Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's an extremely powerful and lethal dose of logic. I think anyone who really wraps their head around what it's saying will lose their religion (lol). And I don't know why more athiests/agnostics don't use it as their primary argument. They waste their breath debating crap on human suffering and divine motives. In my opinion, they should be pushing this issue until one side cracks. |
