"The United States is a Christian-founded nation"
#45
RE: "The United States is a Christian-founded nation"
The bible is a claim. Not evidence. If we had other books by other people that there was a solar eclipse after killing three guys one day, and dead people rising from graves, and 500 witnesses to his return, that would lend credit that one of those criminals was the messiah. Yet no one did. The first to write about it was Paul, 10+ years after the event, who claimed to hear a spirit that his companions around him didn't.

If you're going to point to one book, I can point to other books about creator gods and messiahs that were born of virgins, became wandering preachers in their thirties, and rose from the dead ten days after they were killed. Hinduism comes to mind as an active religion today. Shall I begin worshiping Mithras now?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
