Hello and thank you for your reply :)

How did you learn that religious tales are man made? What evidence proved it or how did you come to this conclusion?

What psychological need does christianity suit?

Cheers :)

It would be the lack of reliable evidence, that enabled me to reach my conclusion.

In regards to what psychological need does christianity suit? Well, there are so many denominations of christianity, that have varying ideology, people tend to gravitate towards the one that brings comfort. When psychological needs change over time, plenty of other variations of christianity for one to move on to.

Congrats! You answered your own question. Really great.

Now, answer mine.
That answered your also if you think about it. The reason you can't walk on water is because you must obey the laws of nature. Jesus was above the laws of nature, as one would expect from the Guy that made them!

For lurkers..his question was this

"Do belief trump physical reality?"

The answer was that Jesus trumped the laws of nature. His beliefs sure trumped the reality of nature. I notice Peter also believed and walked on water!
Reality is not limited to some sinner in a lab coat who memorized religious propaganda they thought was science.

Cars don't evolve via heritable variation and natural selection in whole populations, which is the explanatory mechanism for the relevant changes.

We've been through this several times before; I'm not wasting any more time on it. You're either incapable of grasping a simple explanation, which is very sad, or you're trolling, which is pathetic.
let me put it this way: if we had a self replicating molecule, do you believe that it can evolve into something like a car?

Denying reality because of belief is stupid.

Please, just give up. Your selfreplicating car analogy is just plain stupid.

Yes. It is. Eyewitness testimony.
It is well known that the gospels are NOT eyewitness testimony.

Did Julius Caesar see an angel at the Rubicon? Suetonius says he did, and he's quoted as a reliable source for confirmation of Jesus' existence.

Hello bhsmte. :) What proof or evidence would u accept?

Well, there are so many denominations of christianity, that have varying ideology, people tend to gravitate towards the one that brings comfort. When psychological needs change over time, plenty of other variations of christianity for one to move on to.
Well, im pentecostal. What psychological need - that you could think of - would one have to gravitate towards that denomination? What do you believe this psycological change is that produces variations within Christianity? What ideaolgy varies within christianity? Why is a belief in Jesus as salvation a form of comfort and from what? Cheerd

John was a close friend and follower. Peter also. That is well known.
