Jesus Christ and Isaac Newton: Evidence that the English Physicist Never Existed

Apparently on FB recently there's been a meme making the rounds that attempts to discredit the historical Christian account of Jesus Christ by drawing parallels to the story of Mithra. In response, Rob Bowman made this historically accurate parody to demonstrate the faulty reasoning behind the meme:

Quote of the Week: C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

   ‘I don’t know about all, Sir,’ said I. ‘Am I right in thinking the Lizard really turned into the Horse?’

   ‘Aye. But it was killed first. Ye’ll not forget that part of the story?’

   ‘I’ll try not to, Sir. But does it mean that everything—everything—that is in us can go on to the Mountains?’

   ‘Nothing, not even the best and noblest, can go on as it now is. Nothing, not even what is lowest and most bestial, will not be raised again if it submits to death. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. Flesh and blood cannot come to the Mountains. Not because they are too rank, but because they are too weak. What is a lizard compared with a stallion? Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.’

Quote of the week: James Orr, Christian View of God and the World

If apologetic is to be spoken of, this surely is the truest and best form of Christian apology—to show that in Christianity, as nowhere else, the severed portions of truth found in all other systems are organically united, while it completes the body of truth by discoveries peculiar to itself.

Quote of the Week: Blaise Pascal, Pensées

[T]here are two kinds of people one can call reasonable; those who serve God with all their heart because they know Him, and those who seek Him with all their heart because they do not know Him.
