Where is Jesus?

[Quest of knowledge]

And that's absolutely fine OO, but Irh9 made a positive claim about theism not being the best source to find Jesus (completely illogical to me) and he still has to substantiate it.

Tackattack,

You appear not to be fanatical, and that is a good thing, but then I see some of the illogical conclusions you draw to justify your faith, and I am left wondering.

You start from the premise that there is a god and that it is Jesus. Then you try to cast doubt on the evidence that he does not, never did, and never will exist outside of people’s imaginations.

Try to imagine for one second how a non-believer of Greek Mythology must have felt about all the believers in ancient Greece. He must have felt like a sane person in a nut house. Could you not imagine that a Roman citizen who did not believe in the pre-Christian religion of Rome would have felt the same emotion as the non-believing Greek? (You belong to the “newer” official religion of Rome, Christianity)

How would you feel if you lived in a Muslin country, where they blare the loudspeakers to call to prey 5 times a day ?

If you can imagine those three scenarios, you might start to understand how an intelligent atheist must feel around so many believers.

The reason Irh9 made a positive claim about theism not being the best source to find Jesus is for the same reason that a person who believes Superman is real is not the best source to ask if Superman exists. We already know the answer by definition. By the way, I want you to know that believers and non-believers have more in common than you might think. The true and original meaning of the word atheist means “without god”. That makes all of us atheist because god does not exist and, therefore, none of us have one.
