Furthermore, I know for a fact that atechnie is the son of God and has come from Asgard to save us from the microscopic Thetans who infest our bodies and cause delusions in our minds.

I'm one of those witnesses, I've seen it all. I was scuba diving next to the submarine when this guy walked over my head and transformed it. A miracle!!!

All praise atechnie! :notworthy

Wrong. In fact, Jesus said do not praise him.

"Praise Jesus" is the biggest fallacy that never goes away.

But she does have supernatural powers. How do you think that gravity works? People know the laws of gravity, but no one knows what force is really behind it. Its obvious that Atechnie, thy mighty and merciful savior, has consciously been manipulating all of the objects in the universe for all 17 years of history since the great regurgitation where Atechnie created the entire universe in the state that it was in during the year that you call 1987 with the illusion of being much older!

A man is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. So why do you jduge a man when you can't prove he's guilty?You don't do this to Buddha or Rhama Krishna yet you do this to someone who gave his life so that you don't have to feel guilty any more! Why do you have such a desire to do these things to Jesus? What did he ever do to you to treat him this way, especially if you believe he's only a fairy tale!?Do you believe in Zeus? If not, do you mock the followers of Zeus?

>sigh< Very well. Bring me a follower of Zeus, and I'll mock him, too, if that will make you feel better.

You haven't provided one ounce of proof that I'm not Jesus so *in a highly condescending tone* nyyaah!

Was Jesus a common name back then? I mean, surely one other person apart from Mary called her kid Jesus, sio maybe Salieri's right and he (not him specifically) did exist.

Unless Salieri's a fictionalist. Honestly I don't kinow why I didn't figure that out before

OK, to be fair, he may have historically existed as a rebel against the theocratic system.
