That is all fine. Having noble ideals is all very good.
But the historical truth is that there was no man called Jesus Christ.
His story is a myth.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So according to you which religious figure is not a myth?
People believe in a lot of Gods and Godly men. They are supposed to have lived many milleniums ago. What we know is from religious books.
As you wrote, I can also say that Rama and Krishna are also just myths. How can you prove that they were true historical figures?
As far as I can understand all these religious figures are a mixture of myth and truth. But there is a pictuire about these which is set in the minds of people who believe in them. And religion itself is a myth. Nobody knows what will happen to us after our death. No dead person has ever come back and told any body. So these are just beliefs only. Why should we abuse each other, accuse each other and fight over them.
The aim of every religion should be to make a man a better man. If that is not met, I think those religions are failures. In the contemporaray world the Islamic terrosits do make a lot of trouble. Based on that one can easily say that, that belief.; I am not talking about Islam in general, but those who believe in bloody jihads, is a failure.
