I wasn't...I was just saying...it's what our country is built upon...making it more than a book. More like a foundation.

that doesn't make it real.
it kinda is in the bible "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

there is actually some debate over the possibility of jesus journeying to the far east to take in some of their philosophies because christianity has alot of overlaps on some of the morals from religions that existed before it.

ofcourse, nothing in the bible can really be considered real because it was written thousands of years after it happened.
Confucius in China came up with that same term in around 500BC in southeastern china, and by the time when Jesus was around more than 500 years later, it's a good possibility that it has spread. However, I think Jesus probably has more important stuff to do then crossing the Himalayas or checking out the future site for the Indo-China railroad for the Japanese.

Its really not a hard term to come up with, I can see it being used before you clobber the person who just threw a rock at you.

Uhm yeah, we didn't exactly build our country around the Bible. Things in the Constitution would have vastly different if it had. Many of the founders were fairly Christian to a degree, but the model for the government came from Greece and Rome.

there is over a decade of jesus's life that is completely unaccounted for. he went from 12 to 30 (quoting from dogma). if he was to become a messiah too all mankind, i would think he would have to do some serious research to get some perspective on the world.

Our laws are yes, built on Roman and English law, but the Constitution and it's signing members were indeed God-fearing Christians.
Our moral foundations are indeed Judea-Chrsitian.

I know what you meant, which is why I posted that.
I think he took you too literally...

I see the connection too. Priests - Altarboys vs Congressmen - congressional pages.

lol, I dont really believe in too many things that have absolutley no proof other than coincidences...

i dunno, I guess I could call some thing karma but it doesnt always work. Like people have pointed out rich bad guys, and that good kid who died in a car accident.. It doesnt seem to work all the time..

oh well, im about done talking about things that arent car related.. on to the F/I boards..
