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

(October 25, 2013 at 6:13 am)Aractus Wrote: That's an incorrect assesment. NT Biblical books cite each other before they became bound together and accepted as scripture. They are written by a number of different authors - at least 8, and as many as 11.

Thank you for confirming that no one knows who wrote the Babble.

Quote:Oh please. The life and death of Jesus is very well documented.

Really? Where? Please cite ONE historical document or record that was written DURING THE SUPPOSED LIFETIME OF JESUS that mentions the life and/or death of this man.

Quote: Compare this to Pontius Pilate - we found nothing at all written about him outside of the Bible, and yet he was supposed to be an important governor at the time of Jesus? The "Pilate Stone" was excavated in 1961 and was the first piece of evidence ever found, outside of the Biblical texts, that he was a real person.

So there is actual evidence that Pontius Pilate was a real person! Now, as for this "Jesus" guy.....?

Quote:Here's a short list of facts that virtually all historians who study this area agree on: 1. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist., 2. He had disciples, 3. He was crucified, 4. Some of his disciples were martyred. If you're seriously going to disagree with any one of those 4 basic points, then you are going to have to provide sources because you'd be well outside of the general consensus among scholars and historians.

Even if all this is true, how does it prove he was the embodiment of a deity?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
