I stated multiple times in multiple places that I do not believe that Mark is reliable. I never said that it was reliable. I qualified every instance by using "If.."
What else matters? All that we are discussing is whether or not I think Mark is reliable. And this thread shows that I do not.
I'm going to change the subject for a moment from whether or not you consider Mark reliable and ask you a question.
Do you believe that of all the 1000's of god claims made by humanity throughout history, that if one of them is true, it is most likely to be Christianity?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
