II do believe that it may seem naive or wrong to you that people shouldn't believe in God, but I'm here to tell you that these people exist, and their opinions are their own. It is one thing to ask for a discussion on God and religion and metaphysical topics....it is quite another thing to explain your entire opinion inviting little to no argument to take place. Not many people would want to argue with you simply because your view seems very convinced. Which is fine, but do not expect some discussion that isn't perhaps a little irrational or "wrong" to you, as it will always seem that way to someone who is close minded.Now if I am wrong, I don't mean to insult you. On the contrary as I said -- it is good you keep a faith. It is bad to play your cards, however, before anyone has stepped up to you.
How come the story of Krishna predates the story of Jesus and have many similarities?To name a few from religioustolerance.org#6 & 45: Yeshua and Krishna were called both a God and the Son of God.7: Both was sent from heaven to earth in the form of a man.8 & 46: Both were called Savior, and the second person of the Trinity.13, 15, 16 & 23: His adoptive human father was a carpenter.18: A spirit or ghost was their actual father.21: Krishna and Jesus were of royal descent.27 & 28: Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds, guided by a star.30 to 34: Angels in both cases issued a warning that the local dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea; Krishna's parents stayed in Mathura.41 & 42: Both Yeshua and Krishna withdrew to the wilderness as adults, and fasted.56: Both were identified as "the seed of the woman bruising the serpent's head."58: Jesus was called "the lion of the tribe of Judah." Krishna was called "the lion of the tribe of Saki."60: Both claimed: "I am the Resurrection."64: Both referred to themselves having existed before their birth on earth.66: Both were "without sin."72: Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine.76, 77, & 78: They were both considered omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.83, 84, & 85: Both performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured "all manner of diseases."86 & 87: Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised the dead.101: Both selected disciples to spread his teachings.109 to 112: Both were meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners.115: Both encountered a Gentile woman at a well.121 to 127: Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies.128 to 131: Both descended into Hell, and were resurrected. Many people witnessed their ascensions into heaven.
