We all know this story, our savior, who is the voice of god, is killed for his people only to be reborn as a merciful judge in his afterlife and his kingdom will have no end. This is the story of Osiris, the Egyptian god who was mentioned in writing around 2400 BC. There are tens of other examples throughout antiquity of gods, prophets, martyrs, or saviors doing exactly what Jesus of Nazareth did or at least what the men who wrote the Bible say he did.

Jesus wasn't the first, nor the second. God, the Christian's god was the third or fourth, giving way for more and more reason not to believe in god.

Immediately, right out of the omnipotent shoot, we see that god and jesus and the whole notion of what christianity claims as their tenets is a plagurism of earlier creation stories. Religions, at their core, merely intended for it's believers to have something to believe. A reason why we are here. A reason to be good. A reason to follow rules. Religions are meant to control through the gift of salvation. Religions mask their true intentions with stories of good samaritans and super human strength lost to a hair cut.

Up until 325CE, at the first council of Nicea, Christianity didn't have a pray (so to speak). At the council, the Niecine Creed was introduced and Constantine officially ambushed Rome into being a Christian nation. In order to get the masses to follow along with this new religion, bits and pieces of early Pagan religions were sprinkled on top of Constantine's creation ice cream bowl to pass off the new religion as tolerable. It's difficult to believe in something that isn't even original at it's inception. God is unbelievable because he isn't even something created by the men who started this whole thing.

One seeking reasons to disavow god need look no further than the Bible. Any Bible will do, King James, New International, New Darby Translation, English Standard...we have more varied publishers of the bible than books bound in it. How in the world can something that originally was written by men, in caves, trying to remember some stories they heard, be considered authentic much less inerrant? In the begininning, the Bible was copied, by hand, by literate (usually) men, by candlelight, translating a different language from their own, using their
