The Historical Jesus is real and He rose from the grave

I don't even know what that would look like; how does one present a bias toward not automatically accepting god claims without evidence that isn't also just an acceptance of rational thought, devoid of special pleading? Thinking

I know it might make you feel better to pretend that everything that disagrees with you is just biased, or hates your god, or whatever, rather than that they have a legitimate point to makes, but that's just nonsense. What would be the motivation? Anyone who secretly knows god exists but hates him isn't doing himself a favor by trying to dissuade anyone else from believing in him, and also logically knows that because he does believe god exists. As for science and scientists, they follow where the evidence leads; if there was actually a trail of evidence leading to the god conclusion that is as convincing as you seem to think it is, any scientist worth their salt would be mad not to follow it and present that to the world. That's Nobel Prize winning stuff, the kind of thing that'd get you showered in grant money and fame... and that's not even taking into account the vast, multi-million dollar "christian science" apparatus out there; why haven't they published anything worth a damn?

I know it feels better to cast yourself as the persecuted hero class in some huge conspiracy, but that is literally the most nonsensical way you could spin this; you're asking me to believe in a unified "bias" against your god across every strata of the scientific community- many of whom are religious, not to mention that this is a worldwide thing- that operates exclusively against the interests of everyone involved, and has literally no benefit to anyone, except that it makes christians like you feel better about having no credible support. It's ridiculous.

More importantly, if you can find me a single science source that has a "statement of faith" anywhere in it, that says that any evidence that contradicts a certain worldview will be outright ignored, and states that with pride, guess what you will have found?

A source of information I no longer trust.
