Couch, in Biblical times people were Scripture fanatatics! That's all they cared about, because life was so dull and boring and futureless. way more than now, everybody was sitting waiting for Jesus to come.

Well, youd have to watch Joel Osteen to know he exists. They are on right after the programs you WERE watching end. He and Swaggart, and Baker, amd ive seen guys like Creflo Dollar, telling you how to get rich following the Bible. Doesn't mean I watch them to watch them, means i watch them incidentally until I change the channel.

Id say there were very few atheists back in Jesus time. It wasn't until we understood weather better, that a God caused the bad weather. And Jesus became popular because he provided hope to the poor and promise to people who didnt have much. If somebody comes along and says "Hey, my father doesnt care if you're poor or ugly, HE loves you. That's a pretty powerful message. As there are more poor and ugly people than there are rich and good lookin.

In fact, it's been documented, at that time, the only two people who counted, were rich and good lookin. Somewhat true today, but the quality of life is much better.... and today you can have plastic surgery to fix your nose!

No, id say back then was a zealous, riotous time with staunch believers, and lots of bs going on.

"somebody cured me" they did? ,
