No. Think about it, has Hitler done more to the world, good or bad, then Christianity has? For instance, think of all the moments that Christian's would love to forget (the Crusades, for instance), then add in all the good things Christianity has done (a ton of African help is initiated by Christian organizations, for instance), and Hitler is a little blip in a timeline dominated by Jesus' influence.crudus said:
Without trying to get way too religious in an off-topic forum, yes the convential Christian belief is that Jesus=God, hence the Incarnation, i.e. God in the flesh. And yes, that same passage in John also says that "through Him all things were made," implying that in a sense, Jesus did create the universe. Granted, there are plenty of denominations (and 90% of the Escapist) that disagree, but I just felt like offering a little education on the matter.Chaos Incarnate said:So Jesus=God now? Seriously, I suppose not being all that religious has left me rather ignorant of most biblical matters but sense when did Jesus create the universe?ProfessorLayton said:Yeah, but was Moses literally God? What's better, parting the Red Sea, or creating the universe? I'm not talking bad about Moses, but Jesus pretty much wins this one.Chaos Incarnate said:Psh Jesus was nothing compared to Moses, dude parted the seas, climbed a big ass mountain and chatted with god, plus he had a kid when he was 90 way to go gramps.... lets not mention that he almost dabbled in a little child sacrifice later on
Not to try and start a religious debated or anything, but this is what bothers me about that... people say that there was a man named jesus and it has been proven. Ok, so there was a guy that was alive, that doesn't mean anything or everything he did was real/true. That is like saying they found a lost piece of the trojan horse and therefor the whole Iliad was true.herpaderphurr said:
Yes he has. You are just thinking about what Hitler did himself. Long story short Hitler basically wrote world history after 1940. Jesus only did so for Europe and parts of eastern Asia and occasionally the Middle East but Genghis Khan did more of that. Although thanks to Jesus' influence we are 1000 years behind in technology so you may be right. However, I think all the bad both people have caused does not outweigh the good so neither of them qualify for "Greatest Person EVAR!!". Although it is impossible to say who the greatest person is since there are so many degrees of it. What about the guy who invented the wheel? Or the guy who invented weaponry(though that may be another ape)? Surely they influenced the world more than anyone else.lacktheknack said:
