I merely point out that no one in the early first century AD seems to have taken the slightest notice of your boy and I find that odd.
Someone coming back from the fucking dead would have been BIG NEWS.
Sorry if you thought I was referring to you because I am not referring to you when I say some atheists. I meant it as a general statement. Sorry for the confusion and sorry that you saw it as an insult.
I was referring to some atheists who take a cookie cutter approach to other myths that say the details of Jesus' ministry are that deities as well, which is nothing like the actual myth. Either it is passed as a joke that I don't get (I'm not always the best with jokes) or they fail to see that saying a god was born on December the 25th does not make much sense since that date was only used because of the Roman pagan holiday the Christians subverted.
