Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
Two things leap out at me with your posts that I feel the need to take issue with more than any of your other assertions:

1. Stop comparing Jesus to non-supernatural characters from history like Alexander the Great (or fill in Socrates or Julius Caesar or whoever...). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Mundane claims require less evidence. The miracle working godman is held to a higher standard.

2. Your claims of the dates of authorship for the Gospels are fringy even by apologetic standards. Scholars date Mark to no earlier than 70 CE because of the "little apocalypse" reference in chapter 13 (or the destruction of the temple). Even apologists largely agree with this date with a few fringe apologists like yourselves who seem to pull mid-first century dates out of the air. The others came after Mark.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
