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

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

If you go down this path, then it leads you to the problem of - where did his body go? Breaking the Roman seal was an offence punishable by death (ie crucifixion for Jews)! Would the disciples really have that much ambition to steal the body? How does Paul become a Christian? According to Luke he meets the risen Christ on the road to Damascus and is blinded by him. According to Paul himself he met the risen Christ.

Well, let's not forget that crucifiction was a slow, agonizing death that lasted about 3 days. So how long was jesus on the cross for? Turns out it was about 6 hours. You have to at least entertain the idea that maybe the muslims are right and jesus didn't die on the cross. It would certainly explain a few things.

Now surely you don't believe that Paul could sincerely believe that he'd met the risen Christ if he had not, correct?

So there is no possibility that paul was lying, delusional or deceived?

The Muslim faith is based on a demonstrable lie - multiple lies in fact. Muslims accept the Bible as holy scripture, but are taught that it has been modified beyond repair. Well, the qumran scrolls put that theory to bed completely. They would have to come up with a whole new explanation as to why God would allow "completely corrupted" scriptures to exist for 800 straight years, etc.

Right, hang on a minute. You say that about the quoran and yet when you examine your own holy scriptures, you think "yep, that all adds up. Makes perfect sense."???
