The Historical Jesus is real and He rose from the grave

[Mister Agenda]

They testified of Him in by far the most popular book ever written.

When you make an argument that contains a fallacy like argument ad populum, it doesn't mean your conclusion is wrong, but it does mean that if you're right, it doesn't have anything to do with the argument you made.

Since it's been pointed out to you that it's a fallacy to think that something's popularity makes it more likely to be true, you're aware of this particular fallacy and that you're communicating with an audience that notices and cares if your arguments contain fallacies.

To continue to use it in the face of that information, it's reasonable to infer that you actually don't care one whit about reaching any of us.

I am doing as the Lord is directing me. He has placed a love in my heart for atheists.

It's nice that you feel that way, and I don't say it to make fun. The one thing Christians often claim that they should be able to demonstrate is that they're better people for having a relationship with Jesus. Arguably the only original moral teaching of Jesus was to love your enemies.

Just remember that you can't sincerely say you love someone if you're unwilling to try to understand them.

And maybe ask Jesus to place a more convincing approach in your brain to go along with the love in your heart.

Guard your buttholes. GUARD YOUR BUTTHOLES!

I'm happily married.

Glad to see you're able to keep your humor in the face of derision.

There is a nice episode or two of the "Reasonable Doubts" podcast explaining why all the alleged early christian martyrdom is not quite what it's usually made out to be.

Where they there?

I think the folly of raising an objection that can apply equally to you has been pointed out more than once. Why do you keep doing it?

I love the atheists. I will show this love by acting like an ignorant, condescending douche on their forums!

Not my intentions at all. Sorry you feel that way.

For what it's worth, I believe that you don't intend to come off as condescending and that you're coming from a place of sincerity. We get a lot of trolls in these parts, and the benefit of the doubt can be hard to come by.

If I, the messenger is flawed, I apologize, I'm a work in progress. But the message is one of truth, hope, and love.

You're the only evidence for your message available. In this case, the messenger IS the message. You convey your message, especially if it's about truth, hope, and love; with your comportment as well as your words.

And you're making an effort in that regard, which is more than I can say for some messengers we've gotten around here.
