    Next question, since this seemed to have shifted into a semi-religious oriented discussion....


    Atheists....... What would you say if you took a time machine back to the era of Christ to find out the story was true?
    Christians..... the opposite, what if you went back to find out it was all nonsense?

    I realize its probably impossible to get a real answer to either of those questions.... but we'll see how it goes.


    My answer as an atheists......

    I would honestly be terrified..... for me my stance is not simply one of disbelief, it's one of disagreement. Confirmation that it actually was the law of the land would terrify me. While i do support the bible being used as moral guidance, that's about where it stops. I do not agree with a life of service, heaven and hell... ect ect.... Finding out that Christianity was correct would just confirm to me that my ticket to hell is stamped and paid for.

    I wouldn't care to go back that far to find out the truth behind anything related to religion.

    I would just want to relive what I already have lived so I could change some things.

    You're ticket would not be stamped and paid for. That's the beauty of the ability to repent and forgiveness.
