I didn't realize I was hiding the fact I think any religion is full of bullshit and falseties. In fact I am fairly sure I wrote in one of my posts that all religions are wrong (read: bullshit).Whatever. Not like I excpected more respectful and reasonable response from you.

No matter how you define any religion (do you honestly think christinity is the only one that spouts about teachings and crap?I do not know, as I dont know much about other religions. And if other religions deliver simmilar message as Christianity, good for them, Im glad about that. Christianity doesnt need to be THE ONLY religion with the right message, in order for it to be a good religion.) the argument remains. Why are those teachings better than others What other teachings?King Arthur's ? What gives any validity of those teachings over any other teachings, from any religion or book ever written by humans?It doesnt give it vaildity OVER OTHERS, but it does give it vaildity as correct and righteous teachings.And that is important. As for others, well it depends what oother teachings are and what are they teaching to the poeple who follow that religion

As for king arthur, I think there is even a wikipedia entry about it with a whole bunch of evidence of how the story is based on some person or another.Yes, I've read the article on Wikipedia before I responded yesterday, and his historical determination isnt confirmed. There are lot of scholars who are disagree on his existance and non existance, so you cant say for sure he is as hisotrically vaild as Jesus Christ I just got my information from National Geographic.

Ah "whatever," the answer of a person with a defeated argument.

I think you missed the point. I was asking how you determined what the right message is. You say Christianity doesn't have to be the only one with the right message, well, what makes the messages in the bible "the right messages?"

There are many other teachings, for instance to Aztecs you were definitely going to their version of hell unless you died in a few very specific way, one of which was being sacrificed to gods. Why is their message of "I need to be sacrificed to a god" not right? Why does it depend on what the other teachings are for them to be valid? What information do you have that is more valid than theirs? Again, substitute anything for Aztec beliefs, even several fairy tales work, and all my questions still hold.

In your own words: " it does give it vaildity as correct and righteous teachings"  what exactly is that first "it?"

Finally, only the majority of biblical scholars believe Jesus existed. There are still plenty historians who aren't sure either. Just as the case of Arthur. He may have existed, he may not have.
