Acts Chapter 5 Peter is angry when he knows that Ananias and his wife Sapphira did not give him all of the money they made from the sale of their property. So they both suddenly drop dead.
Are you really cynically ignorant enough to believe it was a supernatural god (and one so loving and forgiving as that would only be uncharacteristic of Jesus) who killed this couple, and not Peter in a fit of rage when he knew they tried to decieve him? Peter was no fucking saint, no sir. He was Tony Soprano, and he saw that you would do as he said or else!
Your faith is built on a very flimsy house of cards.
You pathetic former Protestant. It is a shame that you have READ the scriptures but not understood them because you have relied on your own private judgment and not upon the infallible Church that God established upon Peter the rock (cf. Mt. 16:18, Is. 20:22)

How conservative do you want me to be? Most scholars would say around AD 70 for the Gospel of Mark, but I have provided a convincing argument that pushes Mark to about AD 50 and the proto-creed of the Church found in 1 Cor. 15 to about AD 35 or about five years after the resurrection of Jesus.
All of that is documented in this post.
If you're confused about anything, feel free to ask questions...that's why I'm here.
Argument is the art of bullshit. Come back when you have empirical evidence.
There are two types of ideas: there is fact, and there is non-fact. Facts are determined empirically, i.e, what the King James Version says verbatim is an empirical fact. That it doesn't represent a ghastly mountain of cruel bullshit is non-factual. Therefore, please don't waste other people's precious time trying to spin Bullshit Mountain as gold!
