Good luck on that one! It's like catching a 5 yr old with his hand in the cookie jar.

The Bible is literally true, because the people who wrote it were guided by God. You know God exists, because the Bible says he does, which was guided by God.

I have a friend that uses that same line. I just go man, you are gullible.

Ahem, Nimrod was married to Semiramis who was untouched. When Nimrod died he ascended to join the sun. Nimrod, using the sun's rays, impregnated Semiramis with his own reincarnation. Thus was born Tammuz, son of a virgin as well as the father, the Sun
The Sun is at its weakest (or dies) during the Winter Solstice which takes place on Dec 21. It is 'dead' for 3 days and is born anew on Dec 25.
Also the Goddess of sex and fertility, Ishtar (easter) was celebrated on the first sunday after the first full moon since the spring equinox. These celebrations included the coloring of eggs and sacrificing of rabbits.
That's Easter, Christmas, The Resurrection and The Virgin Birth of The Son of God...
That's from about 5000 BC. Sounds a lot like this Roman-funded religious movement that was started to give the people something to hope in as the roman elite started to deconstruct the worlds knowledge and financial power bases to assert themselves as absolute rulers over the dumb...

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Look, most rational people will acknowledge the similiarities between these religions. But see the similarities are, at most, superficial. Sure they have the same actiosn and such. But the theological significance is vastly different in each case. No other religion (e.g. Mithraism) uses the same story for the same meaning.
Therefore, just because there are superficial similarities to other religions, or for that matter even if the similarities had more significance, doesn't mean that the religion is proven false. That's a very common mistake I see in all you guys.
Furthermore, just because there are potential motives that fit something does not mean that the motives are true. If my dad were killed, just because it would make sense for me to him for an inheritance isn't enough to convict me of murder.
Further still, you argue against the actions of the past rather than against the truths of the religion, i.e. claiming the Catholic church invalid because of the crusades, incorporating former pagan holidays, etc. See, most informed religious people will acknowledge this. But that doesn't take away from the validity of an argument/position. At this point your just using an ad hominem of sorts rather than attacking the logic/truth behind the religion.

Alsow the muslim religon is conected to the Christian one, how you ask? It's like this: First came the Juwish belife, than as an upgrade the Christian and as the ultimate and final upgrade the muslim religon. So you can't say all muslims hate Juwes and Christians, that's just the belive of the NAZI muslimes coled Islamists. Aktuly they have grate respect from other religens and don't want the howly war. Take the turkish for instance, two Christians were nighted and killed in a tukish Biblepress, the police stated that as they came to the krime sean the killers wer hunted down by zivilians. They were almoest killed! That just shows that no matter if you'r Juwish, Christian ore Moslem we all prer to the same god even if we have diverent ideas wat he's like.

It's Extremists, not Islamists. Islam is the religion.
And Christianity is an Upgrade from Judaism, and is in turn upgraded to Islam? No. The connection is that they were all made by a man named Abraham. (Who, I believe, is probably God)
EDIT: And they aren't Nazis. Get the terminology strait.
