Nope. It's already historically documented. So if you're out to disprove Christianity you'll need to deal with it.

Now I understand it's like poison to you folks because you'll make one lame excuse after another not to deal with it head-to-head. All of you do that. Constantly.

So if it's so ridiculous it shouldn't be the least bit difficult to expose why the independent, historical accounts of the resurrection are so bogus. And if you can't bust it, you shouldn't sleep well from now on, understanding what's on the other side of death.

Uh. No. It isn't. Your own assessment of it is that it's true because your book says so. Well, lots of books say lots of things.

Whatever. Get back to me when you've got something new. :shrug:

Prove it. Your opinion is not evidence.

You've removed atheists from the possibility of being correct by using the word NONE and instructing atheists to select it as an answer to a question about correctness which wasn't stated.

If you had added the word "atheists" to the list and then posed a fact or point that might apply too one or more shown in the list...then you wouldn't have created such a biased polled about something I'm not sure is or isn't correct.

Make sense?

In your opinion. You always seem to forget that.

A Muslim, a Jew, a Hindu, a Shinto, and a midget walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "is this some kind of joke?"

Hey - you claimed it's ridiculous. That's YOUR claim. So you've got to back that up with your rationale / arguments.

It's not opinion, it's reality and how the spiritual aspect of our universe works. The truth of the matter is that the Bible is God's Word as evident through both fulfilled prophecy and the works of the Holy Spirit. Theologically it also makes sense as to why God can remain Holy and still forgive sin through an atoning sacrifice. You seem to always forget that reality and truth is not relative and cannot be relative.

You seem to always make the mistake that morality is relative... as evidenced by the countless errors in your above post. There is no truth in what you say. Only YOUR truth. You always make that mistake, too.

I don't believe morality is relative, I don't see how I make the mistake of morality being relative. My whole premise is that there is but one truth and one absolute with that being what our Higher Power (God) says. There is no such thing as my truth or your truth or anyone else's truth. Our own opinions don't set the basis for reality or force absolute to conform to what we think. Someone may hold their opinion that there is no God(s) and when we die we just cease, but because they hold that belief does not make that reality because when they die they'll stand before God nor does their opinion force God to cease existing because they hold it as their "truth." Two conflicting ideas cannot both be "truth." Either one is right or both is wrong, neither can be right. The whole premise that truth, or morality, is relative is a self contradicting statement and an absolute statement itself.

"I don't believe". You should have stopped there. That designates that this is but your opinion on what truth is.

And of course our opinions set the basis for our own individual realities. One's perception defines how they experience the world.

It's not a fight, just debate :) Even if I disagree heavily with CC on this issue I still respect him and plan to debate in a respectful manner.

The use of "I don't believe" was clarifying my position if you're saying I'm making a mistake that morality is relative, that's not how morality is and it's not what I'm arguing.

We have individual perceptions, but there is only one reality. How we perceive it may be different but what it actually is does not change based on that perception.

I tend to agree that there is a reality that we can only approximate to, although our approximations are getting ever more accurate but, that is a universe width away from saying that any kind of skydaddy is an arbiter of that reality. That we do not know and maybe cannot know everything about that reality does not mean that we cannot or may not know something about it and there is a method to discerning what is relative and what is not, beyond reasonable doubt. Saying that objectivity can only be revealed to us through a skydaddy is presuppositional and disingenuous, your supposedly 'objective' reality has been chosen by you which makes it just as relative as everyone else's.

It's the way that millennia of religious entitlement has shaped how we think about not accepting fantasy.

Atheism is not a religion.

Perhaps, but the way some try to push Atheism on other one would have to think they think their belief or non-belief is much superior to those who hold religion dear. That those who do belief in religion are a bunch of dunces.


In other words there are some atheist who push their belief onto other as much as a Baptist or any other religion tries to push their beliefs on others. I see no difference, call atheism a religion or not, it is still a belief that their hard core try to push onto others.
