Ima a christinan, but i know that half the stories in the bible are total bull. For me, religion is about how you live, not how you die.
All those stories were written so that dumb peasents could get some grasp of understanding about the morals and values of the religion. I mean, how would you believe more, some poor guy who talks to people telling them what to do, or some guy that can part seas with his rod? See my point
What many people do (both the regligious and the athests, including many people on this site) is that they take everything literally, Jesus was probally in a coma or something and Lazurus was probally just knocked out cold. Get me?
If there is an afterlife, thats a bonus

High, you must be seriously, seriously high on meth, lsd, crack, ect.
how can you call yourself a christian, but say that half the stories in the bible are total bull?
what you said towards the end outrages me. Lazarus was dead for FOUR DAYS. Lazarus was not "just knocked out cold."
and secondly, there is no denying, even by aethists, that Jesus died. the debate is over whether he rose from the dead. Jesus, in a coma? sheeya right! He was on a cross! cruxifiction! he suffocated to death-after spending a good 9-10 hours on the cross. thats how the majority of cruxified prisoners died--they suffocated because they're hanging from thier arms and cant suppor themselves. on top of that, Jesus was stabbed by a spear from a Roman guard--he would have died from blood loss if he handed died of asphixiation.
and the afterlife "bonus" this is just horrible--being a christian isnt about fire insurance, if you "Get me?"
lastly, when you say that:

the bible says do not judge and you will not be judged. think about it.
i'm not saying your being a bad christian, but as christians we are in no place to place judgement on others.
