Jesus or the story of Jesus Christ was a fraud of gargantuan proportions. How the black man has become so subsumed in a fraud that lived over 2000 years ago is saddening & pathetic.I once read an article on the web that put the whole Jesus Christ farce in proper perspective. Seriously,how can any rational being read the story of Jesus & not have an inkling that so many things don't just stack up beginning with the story of immaculate conception?

We really don't know much about the actual history of the man known as Jesus. The Gospels are obviously not of much help - they're biased.

If the Gospels are more or less accurate, then he was either a high functioning schizophrenic, or at least had either schizotypal or histrionic personality disorder, or he was a fraud with a fantastic post-mortem PR engine. The thing is, Jesus was said to have performed MANY pretty amazing miracles prior to his death, and - this is shocking if any of it had happened - NONE of it is documented in any recorded history, other than those biased Gospels. He allegedly resurrected Lazarus from the dead, cured the blind, created food for people. No one wrote anything that stood the test of time? It's harder for me to believe that there would be no objective recording of these miraculous acts than that the miraculous acts occurred, in fact. That Jesus, so allegedly vocal about so many things, never actually wrote anything HIMSELF that stands as a testament to his actual thoughts is also very telling.

There is, I think, enough evidence to make a good case for the fact that Jesus, the man, actually existed as a historical figure; this is not to say that this still couldn't be disputed, and as it has been. However, the Jesus of the Gospels, and of modern Christian faith, is probably the fusion of messianic figures that were popping up left and right from about 1000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. Other legendary figures allegedly emerged that were capable of resurrecting others and themselves. Perhaps some or all of them were frauds, or high functioning psychotics. Who knows? The point is that the historical Jesus, if he even existed, was nearly 100% not like he is depicted in the Gospels, the only documents we really have to go on.

Was Jesus a fraud? Well, we know the story of Jesus was, with enough certainty to convince any rational person. The reason all of the historical facts and lack thereof are NOT convincing to Christians, when they would easily be convinced of other, more practical things with a far lesser need for evidence, is precisely because they are emotionally attached to their beliefs about Jesus. And, as far as I'm concerned, being emotionally attached to any belief is no proof as to the authenticity of such belief or belief systems.

Accepting Christ as the son of God is a fraud. Going to church every Sunday is a tradition. When you fuse both you get a charade.So whichever way you look at it,religion is a con

GEJ is working,end of!I have suddenly become a fan. Just deal with the corruption in your government & i'll join the bandwagon to sing your praises to the high heavens

Shuo! Una no dey tire?If him no do, una go talk,if him do, una go talk.Ah,,ah wetin sef?Give credit where it is due,we all know the problems of the country are legion but it's obvious there's a sense of direction in dealing with these issues albeit,slowly.Opposition shouldn't equate to stupidity..just saying

flexxzzy: hahahaha! Pls don't be ignorant. Death is not an inevitible end.. One can actually decided wen to die if he is actually in line wit God. And nobody is using death to intimidate, just trying to show you how great life is... If lyf aint a big deal to you, create one? I aint scared of death and also not fulfillin ur purpose in lyf because of death is one reason i think u shouldnt think of dying...

You're the ignorant one here. Why don't you re-read your post again & sees if it makes any sense. And while you're at it you'd do well to correct those silly blunders you'd want to put down to typos. It doesn't look good on you

Limaoscar: I hope when you read this and go to bed, Science will wake you up tomorrow morning...and may God have nothing to do with it if your science don't

Why are you so called righteous folks always scared of death or use it as tool to intimidate others? Death is an inevitable end we must all face so what's your point? All of una wan go heaven but nobody wan die. Hypocrites!

texazzpete: Don't be daft. Wildfires in that part of the world can move at up to 11km/hr unaided. When you factor in reported wind speeds of 45mph pushing embers, sparks and flames...Try outrunning that in a forest when the wind (and hence fire) suddenly changes direction.

Stop acting smart,you weren't there. It might as well have been an error in judgement. An investigation has begun. We'll find out if it was an occupational hazard or negligence on someone's part when the report is made public

dayokanu: [size=14pt]Did they give them the manual with pictures of approved sexuual positions they can assume to avoid sinning [/size]

You can rest assured there won't be no fellatios,don't even think of 69s

Goodness gracious!See bondage abeg.Religion,religion,religion!

Teela: So who created scientists and gave them knowledge? A lot of these scientific procedures fail, but not in this case because she believed in GOD. With her fasting and prayer, GOD directed her to where she will get help. Have you forgotten that God uses people to help people. God's ways are not man's ways. Your believe and trust in God can brake barriers for you.

Bullshiit!God failed to respond to 20 years of dry fasting and mental draining prayers but eventually directed her to seek help via science.Do you even know how ridiculous you sound?

Madam,you got your babies through IVF,i'm happy for you. Thanks to science,God has nothing to do with it. Your 20 years of fasting & prayers yielded nothing until you turned to science.So please spare us all these God this,God that..we aint buying

There's not much to choose between the Abraimic faiths. One is just as evil,dangerous & callous as the other.

At least he used part of the money to pay his tithe. Praaiissee tha Lawd!

GooseBaba: If 19 fire fighters die for naija all at once . Our forefathers will be insulted. Then the inferior monkeys would link corruption and thinz to it. Lastly they would ask for GEJ head..without an RIP..my inferior brethren I hail ohh..!

PS: RIP to the brave risk taker..

You have a point there though

Pagan9ja is right. The so called Christians have committed just as much evil as their Muslim counterparts

I'm still wondering how 19 men of the elite 'hotshot' squad got engulfed by the conflagration. Not 1,2 or 3 but 19! Someone must have been careless,an egregious error of judgment

Madiba is/was the single thread holding all of South Africa together. Now that he is going/gone i fear for what would become of that country. I'll strongly suggest every Nigerian living in that part of the world to arm themselves to the hilt. Cuz it's about to get ugly!
Songs like 'bring me my machine gun' & 'kill the boers' will soon start renting the air

Why are some of you screaming like this incident is peculiar to Nigeria?Always quick to blow the negatives out of proportion & downplay the positives.


Judge, Two Others Killed in Courthouse Shooting
Atlantans were on edge Friday after a rap3 suspect allegedly shot and killed three people in a downtown courthouse and made a desperate escape, sparking a citywide manhunt.

"We recognize this is a very scary situation," said Mayor Shirley Franklin (search), who assured citizens that city, state and federal authorities were concentrating their resources on capturing the fugitive, Brian Nichols.

Nichols was at the Fulton County Courthouse (search) in downtown Atlanta to face charges of rap1ng and holding his girlfriend prisoner. But before entering the courtroom, police say he grabbed a sheriff's deputy's gun and used it to kill three people, including Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes (search).

The deputy was in critical condition with a gunshot wound to her head, a doctor at Grady Memorial Hospital said. She was expected to survive.

Nichols also allegedly carjacked a series of vehicles following the 9 a.m. EST shooting. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office (search) most recently sent out an alert for a green 1997 green Honda Accord, license plate 658-4YN.

There were no signs he had taken anyone hostage, said officials, who were determined to nab him before the opportunity arose.

Don O'Briant, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter and owner of the stolen Accord, said Nichols initially ordered him into the trunk. O'Briant refused, and was injured in the carjacking.

A former FBI agent worried future victims would not be so lucky.

"He already showed that he doesn't care about taking lives," said Harold Copus, a former FBI special agent in Atlanta. "We have to be very concerned about a hostage situation. If that gets in the way of him and ... another car, he will take a hostage.

Convicted robber escapes from the dock at Southend court

Convicted robber escapes from the dock at Southend court

A CONVICTED robber jumped out of the dock and escaped just as a judge was sending him down.

Recorder Baker had sentenced 19-year-old Ricky Kerry to 28 months behind bars for stealing a mobile phone when he leapt over the side of the dock at Southend Crown Court and fled.

Witnesses saw Kerry, of Jones Close, Southend, push through the heavy double doors of court two, run across the corridor and down the stairs.

A woman, believed to be his girlfriend, was screaming at him to stop as he scrambled down two flights of stairs, out the front of the court building and sprinted towards the High Street.

One witness said: “It all happened so fast. I was sitting outside court two when I heard shouting from inside. I just thought it was someone shouting at the judge but the next thing I knew, this lad barrelled past me and rushed downstairs followed by the court’s security guards.

“Everyone was gobsmacked.”

The guards chased unemployed Kerry, who was wearing a dark grey tracksuit, down Victoria Avenue but he gave them the slip.

He was being sentenced for punching a man and stealing his phone on Wednesday, April 17 in Sutton Road, Southend.

A manhunt has now been launched and police are appealing for anyone who knows where he is to hand him in.

One court worker, who wanted to remain anonymous, said: “The judge was just saying he will give him 28 months and that was it he was over.

“A security guard was sitting behind him but he wasn’t in cuffs. He didn’t say anything he just jumped over the dock.

“When he is caught he will be charged with escape from lawful custody. I am amazed he wasn’t in a secure dock.”

An Essex Police spokesman said: “Police are looking for a 19-year-old man who has absconded from Southend Crown Court.

“He made off on foot at just after 12.45pm in the direction of Baxter Avenue. He was wearing a grey tracksuit and has brown eyes.

“If you spot him or know where he is call Essex Police on 101.”

Acidosis: Money is not the instrument for measuring TRUE Happiness..

Nigga puhleeeze!99% of the problems of Nigerians-dare i say the world can be solved with money. This is an incontrovertible fact. Please tell me something else

Lol,looks like Jenny has fully recovered from her accident. That close shave with death really humbled for a long time. The old Jenny is back with a vengeance

I've never had cause to hide my passport neither do i flaunt it unnecessarily. To what purpose? I present it only when i have to & let my grammar whilst flashing a set of pearly whites do the rest

Seriously why're these kind of beliefs & thought processes prevalent in Africa especially Nigeria? Reason why there are more churches in Nigeria than anywhere else on the planet. People are so fickle,they'll believe anything. If it is possible to have charms for everything why is the country still in a dysfunctional state? We can't build cars but can 'charm'it not to start or drive for miles on empty (Daddy G.O). We can't design planes but can charm it to crash (Fani Kayode).They even use body parts for what they refer to as 'money rituals'. Only in Nigeria. Oma se o!

Oh so he divorced his first wife & married a younger member of his choir,then was struck with paralysis & subsequently became bedridden & eventually succumbed to the inevitable.Is it me or is there a pattern here?Anyhoo,what do I know

Ah thanx

Please anyone with a video clip?Can't find anything online.I know it's a tad bit early

daviddext: I pray that God will show you how real He is. Fear the Lord O soul. Tremble for you are like dust that is blown off by wind. May God give you no rest until you see how real and good it is to fear Him, your creator.

Why are you so scared of death?Don't you want to meet your creator,this loving wonderful God of yours?I'm sure you must have a million & one excuses why you don't want to cross the great divide just yet.Or could it be that somewhere deep in your heart you're not so sure of this heaven?Everybody wan go heaven but nobody wan die

Very typical. Spoken like a true Christian. Once cornered,resorts to the the best weapon available to him;Fear.'You'll forever burn in hell'! They say.Religion thrives solely on fear & that's the major difference between me & you; you're good because you fear damnation,i am good without obligation

Egba girl: That's just sad. How do they cater for these kids? I mean seriously! Imagine if the first woman for example had just say 2, it would at least be less of a burden.

Talk to them about having two kids & you'd be lucky to leave without curses & insults,even called a witch.The philosophy of these guys is God gives children & as long as he continues to give me i'll continue to have them.
The police department should issue a stern warning to the greedy relations of these widows to leave them alone or face prosecution

Well I sincerely hope i'm wrong this time for the baby's sake

slimyem: Can't you see those are pencil marks?

That's what i thought initially but upon closer scrutiny and verification from other sources,i dare say those are scarifications.

ajiifixing: Make up tinz

You think?Look closely
