The thing is, christianity isn't even an original idea. There are several instances where it has been copied from a previous religion. What makes all those other religions wrong?
Examples please
This is just the similarities of the Jesus story to Horus. Not trying to start an argument, just noting that there are other religions that were around long before chrisitianity. And they all have similar ideas, so to think that 'yours' is the only right one... I just think it's kind of arrogant.
Yeah, figured you'd link something with supposed Horus parallels. They're cherrypicking straw men.
I won't waste my time debunking all of them, because it is, in fact, a waste of time, but just as a few examples:
Horus wasn't born of a virgin. He was born of a magically fashioned golden phallus by Isis, who then impregnated herself.
There is no "Anup the Baptizer" in any Egyptian mythos. Anywhere. That is the brain child of Gerald Massey, who happens to not have any reputable regard by pretty much anyone other than people trying to invent Christ/Horus parallels.
Horus was born sometime in Oct/Nov, and there is no record of when Jesus was actually born - Christians later adopted the winter solstice in order to celebrate and worship in safety from persecution.
Horus didn't have twelve disciples - he had four demigods that followed him around, and some traditions have 16 human followers, and some blacksmiths and stuff, but nowhere is there mention of 12 disciples or anything close.
Fair enough. I won't go too far into it either but it doesn't change the fact that there were religions before the 'christian' faith. What makes the christian faith right? What makes any of them right?
I swear, if we were all gone tomorrow and a few hundred years from now humans started evolving again we would be worshiping the X-Men as our Greek mythology and Superman would be our Jesus story.

Is this an X-file? My goodness, I can't believe it's 2015 and this still goes on.

If you're not first, you're last

they have to change their mindsets if they want to build on this. too much 'me' on this team between shields and petteway. gotta play as a team now, stop chasing stats
-
don't like the call of a shields fade away. drive the damn ball
-
bo is gonna have some counter for our press
-
-
I would say the fanbase has out played the players tonight though
-
almost feel like webster feels held back, he shows flashes of what he can do. this team is odd
-
Love Petteway, but he is killing us tonight.
said the same thing
-
This sucks you guys. I was looking forward to bball season this year.
-
Drive the ball and get something aggressive going. Too passive. We are too soft offensively. Very tough on defense but crazy soft on offense.

ESPN has to be thinking of not airing a Nebraska game ever again
Tarico?
He's holding no punches. He's killing us.
I was just thinking of all the late games between football and basketball that ESPN has aired recently and we just have nothing to show

and then the B1G ref's show up

I think these announcers have a point. There seems to be a disconnect between the players on this team. Last year they were having fun, now it seems like they don't feel comfortable with one another
Ha! I just said that! They look like they have never played together! #Coaching
Not sure that's coaching though. These guys have to come together as a team. Miles is a good coach, think he has proven that more than once. These guys need to let go and play the game rather than worrying about stats. *shields petteway

Love Petteway and what he did for us last year, but damn man. He's killing us right now

On pace for 32! Yeah buddy! Aint nuthin but a peanut

We got this one in the bag fellas. Not even sure why they are playing the game tonight, outcome has already been set

So, if he had to coach a kid that was gay, would he?
I would think this is the problem. How awkward would it be if he knew he were coaching a gay player? With how outspoken he is, does he try to coach the 'gay' out of the player? And btw it's not being PC. Why should people be discriminated against? What are they doing to harm you? Land of the free, they just trying to live their lives like the rest of us.

Nah, your fine man. As long as religion doesn't get pushed on me i dont really care. We're all free to believe what we will. I used to believe, for 20 years I did. I just turned a different page
Gonna add to this. - As long as religion doesn't get pushed on me or anybody else, i dont really care. I can't stand seeing people forcing/pushing religion on others. Let them figure it out, it's their life. "if it's meant to be" then they will join your religion. "if it's just not meant to be" then, obviously, they won't.
And, yes, this goes for non-believers as well.
