50 days of stupidity – Day 47

  1. Jesus Christ is either who he says he is, or he is the biggest con man history has ever known.

Really?  Those are the only two options you can think of?  This is another false dichotomy argument.  There are an infinite number of other possibilities.  I tend to believe that he was probably just a mentally ill person who got followers and then after he was executed, his nutty followers started making up wild stories that evolved over the millennia.  That’s just my opinion but it is much more believable than “he was god”.

What the hell is up with that crap anyway?  What was his big sacrifice?  He already knew that he was some kind of deity.  He knew that he couldn’t die (for real).  Hell, what decent human being wouldn’t sacrifice themselves to save everyone who ever lived if the reward was being a god?  That’s not a sacrifice.  A sacrifice is when you do it and don’t get any reward, you just die.
