The Historical Jesus is real and He rose from the grave

[Revelation777]

The atheist is not saying the watch was an accident; we are saying we do not blindly accept your claim that it was designed, intelligently or not. That is something you need to demonstrate, not merely assert it.

Similarly, we are not saying god and/or gods do not exist, we are saying we do not accept your claim that such things do exist. The atheist carries no burden of proof, because the atheist is not trying to prove anything. It really is that simple.

Evading the issue of the basic existence of god/gods by throwing up red herrings about "how did all this come to be" is transparently dishonest and a desperate attempt to pretend you have supportive evidence when it is clear for all to see that you do not.

Dear Stimbo,
Look what you are saying,,,"blindly accept" If I hold up a watch and say, "someone created this" and you reply, "how could you blindly accept that?" How is that logical? The watch itself is the thing that points to an intelligent designer. If I had not watch then it would be a different story. However, the fact there is a planet, and every observable thing has a cause, then we have to reasonable conclude that there is a Creator.

That Rev joins the ever-swelling ranks of those whose only strategy is to weasel around who needs to prove what and to distort their opponents' position to bolster their own speaks volumes about his honesty.

I respectfully disagree. You are entitled to your opinion. I base my answers on the Truth of God's Word and what I feel is sound reasoning. If you call that being dishonest then what can I say?

The empty tomb

What you have is a *claim* of an empty tomb. You can't even conclusively establish that there was any such tomb to begin with, or any Joseph of "Arimathea" who owned it.

Say, where exactly *is* Arimathea?

Dear Angry Cloud,
Something miraculous happened this time apx. 2,000 years ago. That is why this Sunday billions of people will observe this miracle. I encourage you to read the accounts in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

I would feel safer with someone who fears God than someone who feels they have no accountability to anyone. Just my opinion.

Oh, go fuck yourself, you self-righteous, delusional ignoramus.

I feel safer with rational people than with you fucking insane sheep.

You could fairly make your point without using foul words and name calling.
