Debate with a Christian

[discipulus]

You are not versed in ancient literature yet you assert emphatically that the New Testament which is a compilation of ancient literature, is fiction!?

If you are not versed in ancient literature, then why are making assertions about ancient literature which you no doubt wish me to take as truth?

That is akin to me saying I am not versed in Big Bang cosmology and then with my very next breath state that the Big Bang is a load of rubbish.

Surely you would jump at the opportunity to highlight this inconsistency no?

Curious...
It jumps.

Of that particular collection of books, I know enough to dismiss it as mostly fiction, yes.
I mean, really...
- bringing dead people back to life?
- Producing multiples of bread and fish without extra flour nor actual fishing?
- Healing an incurable (at the time) disease?
- Walking on water?
- A person lashed, nailed to a pole and stabbed... somehow survives?

Does this belong in the History or fiction aisle?

Fact is often stranger than fiction.

You know, I marvel at all of you here. I say this because all I hear is show me proof, give me evidence blah blah blah ad nauseaum.....

And then you have accounts of a series of events that could only be done by God and you dismiss it as fiction!!!!!!

What do you want man? Seriously, man to man, all kidding aside, why even ask for evidence if you have already determined in your heart you will not accept it?

Do you think I have not seen this before? People asking for evidence they have already determined a priori cannot exist? Then to later have people speak with me privately about why they really did'nt believe in Christ?
