Lots of important and well known people throughout history were influenced by Hercules too but he wasn't real either.

Yes the one Christians call the old testament...Often used by Christians to justify their bigotry against others, but conveniently denied when the ugly parts are mentioned.

Why should I choose Christ as my god when I have all these to pick from?

Major Gods and Goddesses of the World

Because there is only one and only truly God. There are scientific and historical evidence that Jesus existed.

Christians and Christianity split from Judaism and Old Testament is no longer applied to us. Jesus broke some Jewish law himself. BTW why don't you guys attack Jews/Judaism over their violent book and laws they worship and practice?

Source? At least we know that figure is not existing. You cannot compare Jesus followed by billions of people worldwide with a nonsense cartoon figure.

Yeah, yeah. We already did this dance. I pointed out that the Bible is just as filled with violence as the Koran, you have had no response to that. Why does violence in the Koran offend you while the same in the Bible does not?

And once more I must point that that your offerings are entirely composed of blank assertions on your part and you have yet to meet any of the multiple requests for proof or documentation to support these declarations.

Why should anyone give a turd for your opinions on these things if you are unable to offer any sort of support for them? Why was Muhammad false and Jesus true? How can you be certain that either of them were true? They both enjoy the same level of proof....someone says so.

You don't see many Jews trying to legislate their religious beliefs into law. You also don't see Jews out evangelizing or trying to convert others to Judiasm. They also don't go around telling nonbelievers they're going to burn for eternity if they don't become Jewish.
