Say, where exactly *is* Arimathea?
Something miraculous happened this time apx. 2,000 years ago. That is why this Sunday billions of people will observe this miracle.
Do you ever wonder why people accuse you of responding to reasoned critique with inane blather? Look no further than the above quoted paragraph.
Your claim of there being an empty tomb is bullshit without any form of corroboration that the tomb is more than a plot device in a work of fiction (much less a corpse of a dead god). You believe them without corroboration, and that's your prerogative, but I'll do no such thing.
Deflecting that reasoned response is incredibly intellectually dishonest, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for doing it so transparently. But please, by all means, keep it up after it's been pointed out to you that such claims are wholly unconvincing and dishonest.

I've read them. Suffice it to say I found them unconvincing. Perhaps you missed the post where I told you that I started reading the bible as a Christian and finished as an apostate.
