		<description>Some things you can actually argue on the zeitgeist.

For one it was not recorded that 25 Dec is Jesus&#039; real birthday. Just a date to remember Jesus&#039; birth. There also weren&#039;t &quot;3 Kings&quot; who visited Jesus during his birth. People assume it&#039;s 3 people because they brought 3 gifts. It&#039;s not stated how many people visited him so one of their theories is wrong, about the orion belt stars thingy, where the 3 stars that alined with the brightest star is said to be the 3 kings visiting Jesus.

They also mentioned that not many historians recorded Jesus during his time. What about the whole family lineage of Jesus? His whole family line was mentioned in the bible. He&#039;s a descendent of King David! Besides the video did not mention the accuracy of the other &quot;gods&quot; with similiar characteristics with Jesus.
You can consider the bible &quot;historical&quot; as well because it was written by VARIOUS authors. Not just one dude. Various authors, from different places, different time lines. Some of them fisherman, some of them prophets, some of them kings and some commoners, but they all agreed with one thing, Jesus existed.

People use &quot;Political conspiracy&quot; as a simple answer to everything they cannot believe. Like you said, we can&#039;t explain everything so it leaves to your faith. You can argue all you want but no one ever shoved religion down your throat rite? :) That&#039;s not how God intended it to be. 

Don&#039;t worry. have faith :) God is always in control.</description>

		<description>faith really is something that comes from what&#039;s inside you. everyone has a &#039;void&#039; in their lives, believe or not, and differently people choose to fill their &#039;voids&#039; differently (metaphorically). choosing to fill it with FAITH, takes real courage and drive. Amen to that, lol.

of course, relying on faith alone is abstract and is hard to hold on to because it&#039;s not something physical you feel/see/hear/etc. it takes real courage to trust in something you beleive in, yet is not tangible.

there are many things around us that are aimed at destroying our faith, and kudos to you that you remain strong in yours. being a Christian doesn&#039;t necessarily mean being holy, going to church every week, memorising the Bible word for word - it&#039;s more than that. all God wants us to have is SIMPLE FAITH, and for us to long to get to know Him like how we want to get to know our friends.

keep your faith strong, for He will not leave you nor forsake you. i hope you will venture into a deeper understanding and belief in who God is. Christianity is not merely a religion, it&#039;s a relationship. i pray that you will discover more about your faith, and eventually about God. 

you take care :)</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a good post. 

You know, there comes a time in life when we have to dare to challenge our beliefs. If faith is what we rely on to live out the rest of our lives, it would only make sense if we&#039;ve tried and tested everything that we hear and see, like to see if they hold water.

I myself am not going to check out the video, but surely Z has reasons as to why he thinks Jesus does not exist.

If Jesus does not exist, how can Z explain the multitutdes of His followers around the world in various denominations? ;) Surely it isn&#039;t some cult following xD

Try and test everything. I myself have experienced the existence of God, and hope you&#039;ll experience Him soon. (yes i am aware how cliched it sounds)</description>
