Quote:
A man named Jesus Christ was born in a town called Bethlehem. That is a historical fact.
He was also killed by crucifixion. Again, historical fact.
Whether He is the savior of men, or the Son of God, you may disagree with. But saying "Nothing in the bible is factual" is incorrect.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell all Christians.
PROVE IT!
Show me his bones, dna evidence, some prove of the actual man. And not fake evidence like the shroud of turin which has been dated 600 years after the supposed death of Jesus.
There may or may not have been a man named Jesus of Nazareth. But the bible is a book of fairy tales designed to help people with a set of values. It has a lot of social and historical relevance itself. But what's in it isn't historically accurate until we have actual physical evidence.
I don't recognize the accuracy or authority of the bible. I've read it 3 times and know it better than most Christians. The teachings of the character "Jesus of Nazareth" are enciteful and wise and were also taught long before the life of Jesus assuming he actually was alive.
And it's sweet that you use linux. I like to play with it when I can but I've only got one box so I use Win2k. I'm a MCSE, MCT, A+, CNA, CNE. I'm not married to any OS but I like open source and I like linux. I have yet to see a web server better than apache. When I build my next box I'll probably make this one Linux. But there are a lot of flavors to use. The last one I used was Redhat and it installed in a snap. It recognized all my devices and had drivers for them. It required hardly anything to set up. Even easier than MS OS's
