Here's my latest batch of replies in pretty green ink..-

Drfuzzy quote- "It's a book of fairy tales. Atheists see no evidence for the existence of any deity"
Some atheists are not so sure..

You got us! Most atheists aren't any more sure that God isn't real than we're sure pixies aren't real. Meanwhile, Dawkins continues to maintain exactly the position he has always said he did regarding the existence of God: It's remotely possible that God might actually exist, to the same degree that it's remotely possible that any other deity might exist.

JC simply meant that his generation wouldn't pass away before seeing the establishment of Christianity on earth. Mission accomplished..[/size]

"Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." Matthew 16:28

Do you know what an 'ad hoc explanation' is? Like when an ESP experiment fails to verify the existence of ESP and the researcher reasons that some people generate 'ESP static' that interferes with the experiments. Also known as a 'just so' story.

Someone in the audience would reasonably have taken Jesus to be talking about his permanent return in glory to rule the world. Since that didn't happen, an ad hoc explanation had to be made up in order to be able to say that this statement is still true, at the cost of changing its plain meaning.
