I'm sick and tired of this.. please be advised: the following is a rant!

[A Theist]

They would have known because they would have had first hand knowledge of whether it was true or a lie. It would not have been hearsay. If the disciples stole the body, they OBVIOUSLY would have known. If the Jews or Romans did so, they would have displayed the body around Jerusalem in order to prove Jesus didn't rise from the dead, and Christianity would have died on the spot. And the early Christians would not have been willing to be tortured and died if either scenario happened, because they would have KNOWN the resurrection didn't happen.

Superman was real and he was who he said he was. Just consider Lois Lane, the witness to these amazing events. She was willing to jump off a building in his arms and fly with him. Now Lois was a smart reporter. She would have known better than to think a normal man could fly. She would not have allowed herself to be carried off the top of a skyscraper unless she knew he was who he said he was.

See, if you let people use the storybook to prove the story, you can prove any story.

Hey DP, does God exist?
