    Jesus was a scumbag, he deserved to die, nothing but a trouble maker. Not to mention that his incoherent ramblings literally killed the world with the plague that is Christianity. He was as bad as Mohammed.

    Is the world better off without Abrahamic religions? And if we all were still pagan?

    I think Abrahamic religions simplified worship, especially Christianity. Pagan religions would have a more complex worshiping system because of multiple gods and different rituals to said multiple gods.

    I don't think people would care enough to kill each other over their preferred Pagan God, and there were a lot of them. It'd be a cool version of Hinduism.

    Better yet, the Romans were known for adopting other gods from other religions into their own pagan beliefs. I think Isis and Osiris were apodted into the Pantheon.

    The good thing about Abrahamic religions is that they don't practice human sacrifice...

    Didn't Jesus get sacrificed?

    I really don't see how infanticide and other undesirables wouldn't be filtered out in due time.

    Jesus was executed by the Romans for trying to start a so-called "revolution" in Israel. The Romans saw Jesus as a rebel and a threat.

    Jesus is said to have sacrificed himself for all of our sins.

    He died for our sins. You can say this was a sacrifice, but I see it as a predetermined fate.

    Christianity did not "kill the world", people have. You take any ideolgy, such as christianity and islam or communism and capitilism, and you are going to get extremist nutjobs that just take things way to fucking far. I not sure if you relize this, but the world was not all sunshine and rainbows before chrisitanity came about. There was just as much war, murder, and conflict as there was after christianity. The basic message that christianity(treat others as you would wish to be treated) is a good message. The problems occur(like in every ideology) when assholes start either manipulating the message for their own gain, or when fanatical doucebags decide to force their views on others.

    All the crusades and jihads, and all the opression and death are not a result of an ideology, they are a result of flaws we have as a species. People decided to go on a crusade, people decided to start the spanish inqusition, not christianity.

    Pontius Pilate is the one who killed him, well him and Judas Iscariot.

    Also Jesus failed to become leader of Israel and was not a decedent of king David.

    Personally I don't see what the big deal is, he stated his views he can do that.
