I understand some of you may find that counter productive to your assertion there isn't a god. However iron sharpens iron, and i'm sure we both have somthing to learn from eachother. Smile

Now, i'll get on with a quick run down of my belief foundation. Please start with an introduction of yourself via PM and i will discuss the progress of my thesis and some of the trouble i have encountered. Thanks! Smile

my belief in Jesus Christ being God in the flesh has to do with how unuiqe he was as a historcal figure, with refurence to non-biblical records as well. The remarkable historicity of the bible. Reliability of translation , from both scholars and the dead sea scrolls. Multiple accounts of prohpetic fullfilment, scientific and otherwise. And generaly harboring more reason and consistency than the proposed contrary of a godless un-governed universe offers.

1) Atheism isn't an assertion it's the null hypothesis. When there is no evidence for an entity it is better to assume said entity doesn't exist. And currently the evidence for god is at the same level for invisible pink tazzycorns (I should know, I'm an expert on tazzycorns).
2) You'd better rethink Yeshua as a historical figure. First of all the bible description is clearly of a legedary figure, so a HY would likely be radically different. Secondly, there is no independent evidence for his existence outside of the third hand hearsay in the bible, which was clearly written by people who didn't know or understand early Principate Iudaea.
3) No prophesies were fulfilled even by a literalist reading of the bible. The "virgin birth" a misreading of a promise in Isiah to a king seven hundred years dead, the sacking of the temple prophesy was written after the temple was sackef, revelations has no basis in reality (mainly because it was written by a man who after starving himself for a week and then dined on magic mushrooms).
4) Your "reason" solely consists of the irrational belief that because you want god to exist he must therefore exist. The universe does not care if you think its existence needs rationalising, it does not care that you think a bronze age myth is needed to exist for it to exist, it simply does not care.
