Hi Crossless, Let me just throw this out there for the religious person's consideration.
Adding to your statement: In your own words, tell us why you think atheists would find the testimony of the Islamic texts to be insufficient for establishing the truth of the claim that Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged creature.
In your own words, tell us why you think atheists would find the testimony of the Chronicles Of Narnia to be insufficient for establishing the truth of the claim that Aslan the Lion is real.
Here's my point. I've never seen a body rotting for three days in the grave rise from the dead. I've never seen a man flying on a winged creature.
But,
I've seen lions.
Which of these texts would seem more credible to you?
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
JUST BELIEVE IT!
JUST BELIEVE IT!
