If you lived in Jesus' day, how would you of responded?

It'd be a damn sight more convincing than some elaborate plan of impregnating a virgin in the middle east and mind controlling the offspring to spread some hippy message of love before being sacrificed for all of humanity and then supposedly being resurrected but no one really saw it but we have to 'believe' blah blah blah bollocks bollocks bollocks.

There's better ways to communicate the message across than what god's apparently tried, and if I can think of a few then he's either deliberately being vague, he's shit at communicating, or, maybe, just maybe, HE DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST AND IT'S ALL A LOAD OF SHIT.

You mean "YES".

That's how Christians think. You tell yourself God is responsible for virtually every happenstance (except the bad stuff, duh, that's man's fault), irregular or not, because your minds are convinced that your unjustified preconceptions about reality are confirmed by just about any occurrence that mystifies you. If David Blaine whispered in everyone's year, the intelligent next questions to ask would be, "What the hell is going on? How is this happening?" Not "OH MY GAWD IT IS GAWD!!" The entire notion that God can't physical or verbally commune with us until we're dead and float up to heaven has no rational basis whatsoever. If our relationship with God is somehow "more intimate" in heaven, the almighty should be able to simply come down from his high horse and walk among us here (oh yeah, I forgot he did that 2,000 years ago in a small fishing town in Palestine...makes a lot sense).
