Nothing about an all powerful god makes sense when you see how religions are formed and the dogmas they come up with.

Lets assume at some point you were a Christian,Muslim, or Jew

Why did you switch to atheism?

Be Honest, hence why I said lets get real, no more stupid questioning, no more debating or dancing around, explain to ME why you are an atheist

I am nit trying to convert you either, all I want is for you to explain your position

I switched because I saw zero evidence for their CLAIMS which were from centuries ago with no recordings and implausible happenings and plagiarizing from other sources. What else would one need?

Interesting take.
Wrong though.

Atheism is religious thinking like the 'OFF' button is a TV channel.

The off button is still a part of the TV, though...

As soon as I was mature and independent enough to question what I was taught about religion as a child, I realized that there was no good reason to believe any of it. It's that simple.

For years now, I have been engaged in discussion groups like this one and invited believers to provide me with any good reason to believe, and I have yet to receive anything even remotely close to that.

Atheist. I was curious as to why Jews did not accept Jesus as the Messiah, so I started studying the Old Testament to try to match Jesus with whatever prophecies there were pertaining to this figure. Jesus simply came up way short. I left Christianity and considered converting to Judaism, because I still believed in Yahweh. That fell apart when I continued to study the Tanach (Old Testament) and I realized just how evil this god was portrayed. I dabbled around in a few other religions for awhile because I still felt this need to believe in something higher than humanity, but eventually gave up because all of it became obvious: gods are imaginary.

Objection: Jesus didn’t fulfill the Messianic prophecies

Response: Various Christian and Messianic Jewish websites list up to 300 Old Testament Messianic prophecies that Jesus fulfilled during his first advent. But the objections from Jewish rabbis and others deal with the remainder of the Messianic prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled. These include the rebuilding of the third Jewish Temple, the destruction of the enemies of Israel, and a thousand year millennial reign by the Messiah – Messiah ben David, the conquering king.

The answer to those objections is simple: Christian theology teaches that Jesus will fulfill the remaining prophecies during his Second Coming. So the objection is premature.

What's interesting is that there are TWO PLACES in the Old Testament that foretell WHEN the Messiah will appear in history. Both pinpoint the first century AD. Here they are:

Until Shiloh Comes << The Righter Report

Palm Sunday Surprise: The Unexpected King - Chuck Missler

Finally, the resurrection of Jesus is real. There haven't been any solid alternative explanations for the event that have stood up to logic and scrutiny. If you have one please share it along with your evidence / substantiation.

The same fact or argument that says the prophet Muhammad did not rise to heaven in Jerusalem. The Al-Aqsa Mosque there even marks the spot which he did so. What more fact or argument do you want?

I want you to bust the resurrection of Jesus. You won't be able to.
 
RogueWarrior said:
You and your constant pre-suppositionalist view that it is our job, as non-believers in your freakin religion, to prove that the supposed resurrection didn't happen. FFS grow up.

That's typical weaseling and just shows you can't falsify the resurrection of Jesus. And if you think there's no evidence for the resurrection, you haven't done your homework.

Argument from book cover I see, and no discussion about the contents.
