The difference is that he was batshit crazy and told a bunch of gullible people that did not have any technologies or intarnets and believe whatever the hell anybody told them that he was the son of god.

After awhile passed, a crazy bastard named Constantine was tripping balls on some killer acid and thought he saw a cross in the sky and forces everyone to be Christian, just like your parents forced you and everyone else to be.

People are sheep. They NEED to be able to hold onto something. They need to feel like the are part of something, and they cannot bear to think that their life is meaningless and that after they die, they lose consciousness and they won't know anything afterwards just as they didn't know anything before they were born. It's too bad people can't think for themselves and use their brain instead of having this "faith" and blindly follow something their entire life that probably (isn't) is not real. The truth of the matter is, you can be just as good, and do just as good things and not believe that stuff. You just have to have a strong mind and will to see through all the BS that's been fed to you your whole life.
interesting and entertaining perspective. I wonder where you draw the basis of your conclusions. Did you actually study this or is it from your history classes? Either way you too are subject to what someone wants you to think based on their perspective just like what you are saying about the Christians. You too only believe what you believe because someone else helped you get there, the only difference is who ever helped you, made you think that you got their independently. You didn't, how do I know, because your opinions are no different than the people who have been outwardly rejecting the idea of an eternal god for centuries. So where is YOUR originality?

that said, Why do you even come to the religion forum if you think it doesn't matter? If all that happens is you die and nothing else, and you believe that people can just be good, why do you care if some of those "good people" choose to define goodness different than you. based on what you just wrote, it doesn't matter to you, but that can't be true if you have such an aggressive view toward those who do live by a faith.
