Very true! It's interesting that you need to have a license before you're allowed to drive a car, but any dipshit can be a parent.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

the account of josephus is not an elligible account for christians. even though it is much exact in terms of historical events, there are some differences in the four synotic accounts. why don't you debate with christians using the accounts christian's used?
its just shooting a bird but you have shooted a fish..

Because the accounts christians use are rubbish.

Then why do Christians apologists insist on bringing up Jospehus in discussions?

There have been numerous times where I have debated a Christian and pointed out that there is no evidence that "Jesus" was a real person, and they cite Josephus as evidence that he did exist. So, I am debating Christians with "the accounts Christians use".

BTW, the past tense of "shoot" is not "shooted".

I agree! And what really frosts me is when the resurrection story is treated as if it's an undeniable fact. I especially hate it when there are newspaper articles at Easter and the reporter writes something like, "Services were held around the area as Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus." This kind of writing assumes that "Jesus" truly did rise up from the dead. It SHOULD read, "Services were held around the area as Christians celebrated what they believe to be the resurrection of Jesus."

Big difference.
