Most likely he was dumped unceremoniously in a burning garbage pit alongside other brigands and those accused of sedition. Either that, or the "Jesus tomb" has some veracity to it.
Mako is absolutely correct here. Easter is wholly pagan. Its date was set during the Council of Nicea in 325 CE. Notice that it falls on, not a set date, but on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox--March or April.

Well, there certainly is alot going on in this topic. I am a christian and I have love for everyone. I am accepting of all. Easter and Christmas are truly pagen holidays. Here is a shocker, Jesus was not born on December 25th. Please feel free to ask me any and all questions about my faith and beliefs.

His circumcision?

As far as I can tell, there are two major reasons for people becoming religious:

1. Indoctrination
2. Personal tragedy

Regarding the indoctrination: If you want to convince such people that they are mistaken then you’ll have to come up with some threats more scary that the devil, Purgatory and hell.
How can you beat that?

Therefore, it is very difficult to convince religious people that you think they are living a lie, and if you try to do so, you might just destroy something valuable for them; something they lean against when life gets rough. I sometimes envy them that. A religious person is never all alone!

My mother is a believer. I have tried to convince her for years that she was mistaken, that there is not much proof for anything written in the bible, and that some of it is too far out.
Nevertheless, I changed my point of view, and behaviour, when she got cancer. I realised her belief meant a whole lot more to her than it did to me convincing her that I think there is no higher spirit looking after her and that there is no afterlife, and that she therefore never would see her beloved ones again when she die.

Even though we, Atheists, think religious people are fantasts, we have no right to destroy the hope and faith for other people.

After all, the Christian message is good! Their mission is good (nowadays). That they try to convince you that you should believe in Christ is because they want to share the good thing they have with you.
The atheist mission is the opposite thing. The atheist is often trying to destroy the hope and faith for his “neighbour”. Instead, he should tell the religious person that it is a good thing they believe in and that it just might be true. Then you can both be happy and get along.

Most Christian people I have known were good people. I think everyone, religious or not, can recognize most of the commandments as being good rules for living in a society.

It is not just a question about who is right or wrong. It is much more complex. Think it over!!

So… To you who are searching: I hope you will find what you are looking for!

Apologies for my lack of English skills!

Well put. I find it funny that people would spend so much of their time trying to put down and destroy faith. As you said, the Christian message is good. Has that message been used by people for there own gain and coruption? Sure it has. But, for the most part, most of the Christians I know are very nice people. What is wrong in that? If it makes a person feel better to belive in a "God," and it makes that person a better person, who am I to try and take that away from them?

Hi Guy's

Let me explain my self when I was kid and my father was stationed out in Saudi Arabia I used to have friend a muslim a cool guy ...but he was not a Saudi arabian but a Kashmiri well any His father told me story that after jesus was crucified on the cross and was resurrected (to cut long story) left and lived in kashmir lived a normal life ... lived up 120 years.

When I was india couple years back I travelled to kashmir and you know what I saw the shrine the say jesus is buried in ...which the locals say its his final burial place. When I came back home I told my friends about this they just laughed...Well anyway a couple weeks I sore documentary that speculated jesus was buried in kashmir.

What do you say...

The story goes, "After surviving the crucifixion, Jesus Christ arrived in Kashmir, where he took up residence for the remainder of his life. There he ministered to Israelite tribes of the area, continuing to preach. He eventually married a woman named Maryan, who bore him children, and, so the theory states, he died at the age of 120 years. His tomb is located in the Mohala Kan Yar district of the capital city of Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, Northern India, and is called the Roza Bal ("The Site of the Honored Tomb")."

But like any other story involving jesus there really isn't much evidence to back it up.

And most of the ones I know were hypocrites who abused the faith of christ to forward their own hatred.
At least in a society with no religion, these people wouldn't have an excuse for vicious tendencies.

Hey all,

I'm slightly confused about the question of 'where is jesus buried' if of course he did exsist and all that but that again is another discussion.
I was always told jesus was immortal, and immortals never die. So if jesus is immortal, a god even, he shouldn't have been buried anywhere... I was told he didn't have A physical body but he manifest when needed. SO after he was killed and rose again he simply went back to heaven.... does this make sense?

The essential story of Jesus Christ – his crucifixion and resurrection – follows a millennia-old myth in which God himself ‘died’ but returned to life as a prelude to the creation of the Universe. In this myth, which was told and retold continually for more than three thousand years prior to the formation of the Church, God personified the death and rebirth of the Universe. It was the sacrifice of this Great God’s body – of his cosmic flesh and blood – followed by the resurrection of his spirit which saved the world and washed away the sins of the first generation of mankind.

In this light, it should be assumed – unless it can be proven otherwise – that the ‘death’ and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as told in the gospels, retells the age-old myth of the death and rebirth of the Universe. Or, in other words, Jesus Christ is synonymous with God.

Support for this hypothesis is found in the gospel of John, which begins with the following statement:

In the beginning was the Word [Christ], and the Word was toward the God, and the Word was God. He [the Word] was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made... And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The idea was that Christ, the Word, had descended from Heaven at the beginning of time, and that his spirit had entered into the world and mankind, thereby ‘becoming flesh’.

Further support for the myth of this primeval Christ is found in the Old Testament, Psalm 22 and Isaiah 52-53. In the former, a worm-like being is crucified in the underworld in a remarkably similar manner to the supposedly historic crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the gospels. In the latter, ‘the righteous servant’ of God is sacrificed for the transgressions of all mankind, and bears his unjust treatment in a remarkably similar manner to the supposedly historic treatment of Jesus Christ in the gospels. In my view, these Judaic scriptures, far from being prophecies of the New Testament (as the Church insists), allegorise the suffering of the saviour of mankind at the beginning of time.

The real meaning of Christianity is thus to be found in the myth of the creation of the Universe, according to which an earlier Universe, personified by God-Christ, was sacrificed to pave the way for the creation of the present Universe.

The gospels in their entirety would therefore be an esoteric parable for the myth of creation.

As for the Church’s assertion that Jesus, a humble human being, died and came back to life in a crucifixion in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, a possible explanation is that this historic Jesus was an actor in a Passion Play, in which he sought to re-enact the myth of creation (a widespread and popular tradition in the ancient world). This would, of course, explain why the evidence for the existence of ‘the Son of God’ two thousand years ago is so sparse.

Conclusion

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is myth, not history. It relates the story of the ‘death’ and rebirth of the Universe. Thus Jesus Christ personifies the myth of creation.

I heard jesus was so upset with everyone; that he left the planet...
