Atheists are mentally ill

[Esquilax]

If you think God is a ridiculous concept with no real chance of existing then you will just have to explain away the resurrection and the empty tomb as some kind of hysteria. It's a little different if you're convinced that God must exist to begin with, evidence from human experience, philosophy, science and so on.

Or- and please, try to follow me on this one- it was made up. Or it was embellished after the fact. Or the witnesses were fabricated, or their stories were twisted by their perception of events, or any number of other things.

You are assuming, from the outset, that what was described in the story is literally true, and then challenging the atheist to come up with a way for this real and true event to have happened without a miracle. You can't do that, because we have no confirmation that the event actually occurred at all, just an old storybook.
