MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Free]

You think I cannot read the anti-Christian rhetoric on this forum? I cannot see the bias in the words that are expressed? I'm somehow blind to the disgust many atheists here have towards religions?

You don't know any of the people here, and you cannot read the contents of their minds.

Who said I could read the contents of their mind? Why do you suggest something that is impossible as if it's something I would be capable of doing?

I don't need to read minds, since many of them poor out the contents of their minds on this forum.

You have no way of determining whether the revulsion some of us have toward religion is the result of legitimate determinations they have made based on personal experiences and observations, or whether it is due to the unthinking bias you're claiming.

Either way, the revulsion exists and is obvious. POINT.

Disliking, even hating christianity, does not necessarily stem from bias; you cannot bring up a negative position on the religion as the result of an illegitimate, unthinking rationalization, because you don't know.

Again, am I not capable of reading their posts? I am not speaking of bias in general, but specifically anti-Christian bias.

And are you trying to tell me that it doesn't exist here? Are you trying to say that it is completely unreasonable when someone on your forums says something to the effect of "I hate Christianity" that I cannot reasonably conclude that they are biased against it?

Many comments on this forum regarding Christianity and religion are obviously biased since they are designed to influence in a particular, typically unfair direction.

For fuck sakes this is an atheist site, and you want to pretend there's no bias against religion here?

Earl Doherty?

I never mentioned his name specifically nor did I have him in mind.

This guy seems to have done a thorough exegesis of the NT to suggest that the original Jesus was not an earthly figure.

Yes, I have seen that video, and yes he is promoting Earl Doherty's position.
