The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part Deux)

[YahwehIsTheWay]

I'm normally no fan of apologetics. To me, if your faith is so weak that you need to turn to the likes of Strobel and WL Craig to shore up your conviction, then don't expect to be moving about any mountains any time soon. Mustard seed wouldn't describe the scale here. More like the faith the size of an electron. But I digress.

I just don't want to leave such important work of preaching to the heathen trash whose hearts our loving Lord has filled with a strong delusion so that they're not going to believe it anyway because they're destined to be the Lord's objects of wrath on Judgment Day (praise the sweet name of Jesus that it's you guys and not me) to some buffoon who can't even get around to the topic after nearly 50 pages of posts.

So with no further adieu, here we go.

1. Would They Die For A Lie?
Let's begin with this gem, which is my favorite because there's absolutely no history of crazy religious nuts dying for their beliefs unless those beliefs really are true.


OK, Muslim suicide bombers don't count because they're brainwashed.


Modern cults don't count because they're just crazy.

But the early Christians, they knew The Truth (and don't forget to capitalize the T) so clearly that's different.

The early Christians were persecuted by the Romans. We know this because of all the video footage captured by Hollywood, recordings that had been miraculously preserved for 2000 years.




So with such powerful folklore, how can anyone deny our mythology?

And if you're still not convinced, I have several more arguments that you've probably heard already...
