Why can't Christians Verify Exactly Where Jesus Was Buried?

... he said, ignoring the vast, ahem, body of physical evidence for Hitler's existence.

Would you like to see a photograph?

I didn't ask for a photograph, I asked for a body. I can show you ancient depictions of Jesus too, that's not the same as a body.

It isn't. A stone hammer is a fact. An old writing might be a fact, or it might be fancy. I won't denigrate the value of old texts, but they aren't the best evidence, as any good thinker can see right away. Writings are subject to (mis)interpretation, as well as the same physical deterioration as simple facts like stone hammers.

You seem to be completely ignoring my point, so I won't bother reiterating it.

I can point to archival footage and a world war that cost around 50 million human lives.

Again, that's not what I asked for. See how easy it is to wrongly set a standard of evidence arbitrarily?

What you got for this Jesus fella? Pictures? A world war? Or simple mythology?

I should point out to you that a mythology is not "simple", it's a metaphysical construction, although I don't expect you to understand that.

The fact that the body -- the best evidence -- is nowhere to be found does Christianity no favors; indeed, it builds in doubt automatically the moment any believer starts asking questions. Surely you have a better argument than this.

Again, I am calling you out on your deliberate false dichotomy. How could the resurrection myth surface if the Christians were custodians of the body of their slain leader? There is necessarily no body for the development of Resurrection theology.
