    I love this so much, but I wake up every morning thinking I am after some weird dreams. Then realise.

    Nah mate, she's not a footy fan and comes from Burton on Trent. She came to Oakwell once when we debuted the Cryne/Preedy flag a few years ago...

    The details of Jesus' life and death recorded in the Jewish Talmud were written at the time, not after. So were the writings of Pliny the Elder, who was a senior official in the Roman Army occupation troops at the time Jesus lived. They are accurate historical records of some aspects of Jesus' life. Not a myth.

    Just for clarification on historical reference

    "); display: inline-block; height: 24px; width: 24px; transform: rotateZ(-180deg);">

    senator Tacitus

    The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Jesus, his execution by Pontius Pilate, and the existence of early Christians in Rome in his final work, Annals (written ca. AD 116), book 15, chapter 44.

    Can you point me in the direction of where either of the Plinys referred to Jesus?

    You don't have to be a expert to realise all religion is made up. It's fairly obvious really.

    It's the universe balancing itself out for Regis, Gibbs and Peter Sand.

    Totally agree Mr Redstone. And in the name of balance, let’s not forget the scientific marvels of the last 150 years that have enabled humans who don’t believe in God to slaughter endless millions and given them to means to wipe humanity from the face of the earth

    Not really the equivalency you think it is. Nobody has gone around trying to commit murder in the name of nothing.

    I never said they had. But you seem to equate all war with religion. Hitler or Stalin didn't carry out mass murder in the name God.

    Religion has done good and bad. Science has done good and bad.
