This is ridiculous! Why do Christians appeal to the New Testament? It's chock full of fallacious reasoning! I've written "A Guide to Atheism" on the cover and spline of my hot-pink bible! I'm going through and highlighting all the rubbish, and placing post-its in the margin that describe the absurd things I highlight... Look at this
John 14:11
Jesus says: "Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and The Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves."
What evidence of miracles do WE have? Jesus supports a standard of knowledge that is incompatible with his teachings! Judas seems to recognize this as a possible problem in the future, and asks...
John 14:22-23
"Judas said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
"Jesus said, If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him."
AHHH! That doesn't answer the question. Why should WE believe Jesus at all? This doesn't answer ANYTHING! It just begs more questions!
