Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

And, of course, since you piss in the wind, you assume others commit the same act.

That is pretty much typical of your other assumptions, which you are wont to make in the fashion that supports your spin on the topic being discussed.

Of course not because they don't exist any more than the ones about the virgin mother or raising from the dead.

approximately 2700 years ago, Isaiah wrote; Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

Isaiah 7:14

There seems to be a lot of contention over that perticular translation but I wouldn't expect you to know that or consider the possibility if it contrdicts what you want to believe so let's move on for the time being...

The part about him being crucified and rising from the dead?  Where's that again?  (I'm sure you'll find someone who says it exists...sigh)

  The way I get it is, the father and the son and the holy ghost are the same person, God.  When he played dead on the cross and they put him in the cave.  He just evaporated and went straight back to heaven.  That's why no one of earth could find him.  Good trick, right Exerminator?

That holy trinity stuff is how they get around the obvious conundrum of the first commandment.

the crucifixion:

Isaiah 53:5-7 (NIV) But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Isaiah 53:12 (NIV) Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53:10-12 would also seem to be consistent with Jesus' resurrection:
 

But the LORD was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;
If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,
He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days,
And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

That's all past tense, Hank, not a prophecy of the future at all but nice try.  Sounds to any thinking person like the story of geebuz was retrofitted to fulfill some supposed prophecy rather than the other way around and, of course, the old testament may have (probably) originated from a Mithraic religion as well.  Then there's still that pesky business of that December 25th date that started this conversation...

And some people should just keep their mouths shut, observe their customs quietly, and leave others alone to believe and observe theirs.
