Can YOU still be a firm atheist after watching these?

Oh dear.. slight digression xD

But yeah erm... that's true that Islam started some time after Christianity. I don't know if the religions existing there before it acknowledged Jesus as well. But Jews do acknowledge Jesus EXISTED on the whole, AFAIK. Muslims say he's an important prophet. I dunno, that's fairly reasonable evidence to me that he did at least exist, especially when Corinthians is ALMOST contemporaneous. Mark isn't too far off, but I agree it's mega weird that there were no writings during his life o.O

When I mentioned "good counter-evidence" I really meant stuff like evidence for Jesus (which a lot of atheists I know (certainly not everyone - every atheist is different, ofc) don't even seem to want to learn about at all, they just push it away!) and NDEs (again, a lot of people push them away before even really knowing what things like DMT and hypoxia ARE... lol).

Seems like... some people out there really WANT to believe. And some people out there really want NOT to believe... and then you also get a fair number of people who simply want to know the truth, and try to push what they actually want in their minds to one side. I think the third way is the best way to be, IMO
