Every belief system is man-made, so it surprises me that the followers of any
system can believe one is more valid than another.
Maybe the Christian god is off setting up franchises on the other side of the
universe.
Weren't the gospels written up to seventy years after the event ? Weren't some
gospels excluded ? Hardly eyewitness stuff. Who would blindly believe the
propaganda of a cult, which Christianity was in the beginning.

Maybe people think centuries of history make something authentic.
Spin doctors haven't only operated in the last generation.
Maybe we should all be dropping canisters of nerve gas on the subway, like the
well-educated followers of that Japanese fellow with the long hair. Or not.
Christianity - Just Another Personality Cult.
