"This is a documentary about psychic kids..."
WTF? No, I will not watch a 44 minute so-called documentary about psychics. If these kids were truly psychic, they could claim Randi's one million dollar challenge. |

What exactly is your argument? Is there a shred of logic behind it, or are you playing some strange game here? |

They havnt got into any specific details of these sects to make any determination as to which jesus or Therapeutae consisted of, other then basic descriptions which were not definitions. you have no evidence at all. the scripture were left with clearly places the charactor of jesus as a peaceful Galilean zealot, knowing violence was suicide against the roman oppression. |

my point is to respond to Quote:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_people Shadow people are supernatural shadow-like humanoid figures that, according to believers, are seen flickering on walls and ceilings in the viewer's peripheral vision.[1] They are often reported moving with quick, jerky movements, and quickly disintegrate into walls or mirrors. They are believed to be evil and aggressive in nature, although a few people consider them to be a form of guardian angel.[2] In 2010, the apparitions were described as one of the most regularly reported paranormal phenomena in the United States. This is attributed to occasional reports on the Coast to Coast AM show, where paranormal researcher Heidi Hollis has been interviewed several times on the subject of shadow people. Hollis believes that shadow people have always existed, that they feed upon emotions of fear, and that they can be repelled by thinking positively.[2] Others believe that shadow people may be the extra-dimensional inhabitants of another universe.[citation needed] The stories of shadow people have been compared to those of the Raven Mocker, a witch from Cherokee Indian mythology who sometimes appears as a shadowy phantom, and the Islamic Jinn.[2] Several scientific principles can be used to explain reports of apparitional experiences such as shadow people. These include optical illusions or hallucinations brought on by physiological or psychological circumstances, drug use or side effects of medication, and the interaction of external agents on the human body. Another reason that could be behind the illusion is sleep deprivation, which may lead to hallucinations. |

If Jesus was a similar entity, he was not real. What exactly are you trying to argue? |

I point out that real people believe in it. Since real people believe in them in 2012 there's no reason that real people wouldn't believe such things in 30 CE You had previous split off his and mountainman's replies as "hijacks" which of course I'm agreement with. aa5874 likes to talk about phantoms and ghosts in every single reply and post I make so I'm obliging him. |
