So, you're just another liar for Jesus.

The lawyer in the Guinness World Records who won 400 cases in a row said the best evidential case he has ever seen was for the life, death, burial, resurrection and deity of Jesus. So in terms of evidence, God has provided the best proof we could ever reasonably ask for.

Wait, I knew you weren't the brightest bulb in the chandelier (that's a light fixture consisting of multiple bulbs) ... but you trust a lawyer?

Your problem is not that you cannot come up with any better evidence of Jesus Christ. Your problem is that you cannot come up with any evidence at all (that doesn't engage in question-begging).

I thought it was 400, but it is 245. But he is still the most successful lawyer with 245 cases won in a row.

On page 255 of The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel wrote that Sir Lionel Luckhoo subjected the historical facts about the Resurrection to his own rigorous analysis for several years before declaring, "I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt."

Donald McFarlan, ed., The Guinness Book of World Records (New York: Bantam, 1991), 547

So we can say the greatest evidentialists the world over disagree with you.

Well, that settles it, folks.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

I've read the case for Christ, back when I was in high school and still a devout catholic. Whole it helped reassure young me who believed, even then I knew it contained nothing compelling.

While you can believe the story of the trial, execution, and resurrection if you wish to, it is very clear that large parts are not factually true the same way that George Washington was the first president is true.

The poll is currently 23 atheists so we know 23 are going to Hell. The 3 that believe atheists are wrong doesn't mean all 3 are saved. They would still have to give their life to Christ. Typically at most only 1 of those 3 would be saved, the rest would go to Hell.

I sense that you don't want to discuss. I sense an imminent banning.
