Jesus is, like, real because a long time ago, I think, people used to talk about him. And why would they lie?

Did this article read like a bad high school speech to anyone else?

"There's no record that anything happened here, but there's an ancient prophecy saying the messiah would be born in Bethlehem."

So someone centuries before predicted that something would happen. According to a book written centuries after the fact, it may have.

Well, I'm convinced.

Brian Haslip did you even read the article? The point of the discussion of the Bethlehem prophesy was that Mark specifically contradicts it by putting Jesus in Nazareth and the author notes there is no historical evidence for the nativity story

This was an interesting article despite being in a casual style as noted. I thought the discussion of Tacitus was particularly good, adding some detail I wasn't familiar with. The comments are interesting as well, it appears that denial of the existence of Jesus has become antitheist dogma. As an atheist, I remain open to evidence and the evidence for a real person as the basis for Christianity seems solid.

Glenn Costello I skimmed it. The most riveting part was the box that may or may not be real. That's definitive proof that Jesus existed...if it's real, and there was only one Jesus alive back then.

To be fair, I believe that a guy named Jesus existed, and I believe he did good things for people. I don't believe that he turned water into wine, walked on water, or was the son of God, but I believe he most likely existed.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.
