Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!

RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
(October 24, 2013 at 10:02 am)Captain Colostomy Wrote: I would address one issue...stating that 55CE is 'too early for legend'. Says who??? Anyone familiar with the outlaw West(US), is also familiar with how the James Gang was immortalized in dime store novels even as the gang still was operating. The stories romanticised the lawlessness because it made for sales, not because it was reporting the truth. I see no reason to consider the Jesus story as any different. It actually smacks strongly of legend, and has Jesse James to compare itself with. No doubt there are scores of legends assembled similarly.

Right. Jesus probably just stepped in a puddle and then through countless retellings it became a miracle of him walking on water.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
