Theists: What makes your claims right and the claims of other theists wrong?

[Whateverist]

I think we're all doing the same sort of thing. We're trying to form a worldview that best fits the data. When we meet someone who doesn't share the worldview, we share data and processes to run through why we differ in our worldviews.

So from time to time I'll run some ideas past someone who disagrees with me, to check my thinking, and to invite them to check theirs.

At least that's the theory. In practice, people have all sorts of reasons for all sorts of beliefs that have little to do with reason. Jaffa cakes tend to work better than apologetics. I try to keep both in.

Nothing to disagree with here so far. In fact I really like the part I bolded and I like your attitude.

Getting from C1 Judaism to emerging C1 Judeo-Christianity requires an historical explanation; atheism's had hundreds of years to provide this, and we're still waiting for a plausible alternative to the rather simple explanation “What they saw is what happened”.

Have you tried "what they saw is what they truly but mistakingly thought they saw"? There need be no deliberate attempt to deceive for people to misinterpret what they see. Furthermore, the actual number who would have seen anything extraordinary would be miniscule in comparison to the number swept up in believing it.

I never got the memo assigning the explanation for the transition from Judaism to Christianity to atheists. I would have declined at any rate. You are of course entirely free to go on believing as you will. It is not my place to dissuade you from xtian belief.
