I've been listening to the audio book of Nailed by David Fitzgerald about the myth of Jesus and it's really quite interesting. I've also been researching criticisms against the book but so far haven't seen anything compelling. Mostly people are just saying "You've got to be kidding. to say he didn't exist is absurd" without really giving any reasons why they think that way.
The most compelling thing to me for the argument that he didn't exist, is that there aren't any writings about him from the time he supposedly existed... those writings didn't come till much much later... and we all know how events can be exaggerated from one decade to the next, let alone 100 years later....
But there are other reasons too and i won't bore you with them all here. Just wanted to recommend the book in case anyone is interested in that sort of thing.
But I was thinking of christianity and the situation with my daughter and wondered if would be easier just to say "Don't do that because it would make the sweet baby jesus sad"
which is basically how I grew up... thinking Jesus was crying a river of tears for all the impure thoughts I had....
Ah well..live and learn as they say.....
