Heres one..how about the fact that the idea of some dude coming back from the dead after 3 days sounds absolutely preposterous?
Would you believe me if I told you I was the son of God? You dont have anything to argue against it, so why should you automatically have bias against me and refuse to worship me?
How about the fact that people cant walk on water, or turn water into wine, or give sight to the blind just using their spit? Oh sure, no need to have a natural bias against that at all..I mean hell, if someone walked up to me and declared he can cure the blind with just his spit then I would have no reason to have bias against him. Obviously he would have no need to be lying, especially if I cant produce eveidence in the contrary.
What if the guy said "If you worship me, then my healing powers become greater"? Well, I see no reasons to offer any resistance or bias seeing as I have no way to refute what he says, so I may as well worship him...right? Now I will be actively hurting other people by refusing to worship this great healer..how dare I be so self centered and biased?!?
Do all religions get special treatment, or is it just christianity?
