I'm reading a book, actually.
noon said:Haha! I love that I don't have to finish debates. The bible thumpers end up making themselves look idiotic.
"I'm reading a book actually, so that refutes your claim about me expending so much energy in this thread over the past days/weeks, even though my name is stamped all over it."
Oh, I get it. You THINK you're debating but you're just trying to get the last word.
Fine, you can have it. LOL.
Stomping all the arguments was very easy since the 'atheists' & critics in here are lazy.
obviously this is the way it has to beA man was crucified. That man definitely died. And that man definitely turned up after his death some time later to his (let's be honest, cultish) friends. There is no way they could have been tricked, mistaken simple explanations that we understand today or that they would made any of this up about a figure they believed to be the son of god.
The fact that no one had written about a resurrection before proves this. It also proves the first story written about dragons must have been true, along with the first story written about ghosts, leprechauns and wizards.

accounts can't be perfect, the maybes is what makes it believableWhy would a group of men in a cult who believed their leader was a man who did magic, lie about him doing extraordinary things? I don't know. I guess you got me there. Maybe they didn't lie. Maybe they believed it and died for it. Doesn't make it true. Maybe they wrote something different and others changed their words into what you read today. Maybe lots of things.

how you not gonna present some evidence of your disbelief? fail!No, I don't have to do anything. I can just sit here and say "I don't buy that bullshyt happened".

There are lots of mistakes they could have made. Maybe you're not seeing all the possibilities. Maybe the man they saw later wasn't Jesus, maybe he was a trickster, maybe he was a twin brother nobody knew was around. Maybe the whole thing was an elaborate ruse by some of the Romans. The possibilities are endless.
Sorry, pal I'm not buying the same stories you buy into. I don't need evidence because I'm not making any claims. I'm just saying there are reasonable possibilities.

He's a Christian masquerading as a scholar. If you go through his post history, he only defends Christianity and makes a clear effort to only apply twisting of logic towards that specific religion. He's quite rigorous in his dismantling of other religions and beliefs, which I am quick to say he does well. His faith ultimately makes him a victim of the same thing he usually rails against.
For example, he has yet to address why we shouldn't apply his same logic about eyewitness, written testimony, and holy scripture towards Mohammed and Joseph Smith (or anything predating Christ). According to his logic, both Islam and Mormonism are also true and all their claims are facts, thus invalidating Christianity.
but he posted links to all kinds of books though

If you wish to posit that they were mistaken, then you'd have to offer an alternate explanation as to why water came out of the spear wound (pericardial or pleural effusion).
lawd lawd lawd:zfg:Plus he centrally aligns all his posts. That's a definite sign of someone a little bit off.
That's a LOT of 'maybes'
