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.
Our finite minds certainly don't know better than God. God didn't ask our input on how to do things.

Jesus can blow my sins out his ass.
Remarkably merciful, the Lord allows sinners to repent even after insulting Him.

I'm not so sure that is something to be proud of.
People are dispossessed from the land and end up living in garbage dumps.
Russia spends tens of billions on the Olympics, America spends hundreds of billions on defense, the avg. person in the world makes $3/day. Yep, we advanced.

The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. And they actually exist(ed).
As John Lennon if there is no heaven now.

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

My bet is that it doesn't involve an amputee whose limbs regenerated.
A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.

You must have forgotten where the burden of proof lies. Sorry but your attempts to connect the dots between reality and this imagination of yours is a hopeless endeavor. Even you Christians proudly admit, thoughts and words fail to convey God...precisely as we would expect from a primitive fantasy founded on pretzel logic.
Creation itself testifies that there is a God.

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.
No.

God is righteous, man is not.
