So just because I wasn't there, maybe people DO raise from the dead?
Oh goodie. And I thought the story of Romulus was just a myth. Now I can expect to see him again, the ancient Roman founder turned god! All the people who worshiped him can now partake in his resurrection. Oh.....sorry, you were talking about that newcomer (as Jupiter called him) Jesus?? Ooops.
I just keep saying how idiotic it is to take a mythical book and argue from it.
Moses parted the sea. Well, Icarus flew. He really did, man! It's in the text!
Jesus rose from the dead. Well, Theseus slew the Minotaur. I KNOW he did because it's written down and Plutarch said so, too!
I wasn't there, so maybe Achilles really did take out half the Trojan army alone as certainly as Samson slew 1,000 with the jawbone of an ass.
Of course, the "I don't know because I wasn't there" argument is a free for all. That means Zeus really CAN be throwing lightening bolts and Athena should be worshiped. I am not in a terrorist training camp, so maybe Allah really IS telling people to do the things that we see in the news.
If I can't use common sense but only say, "Well, I don't know....." well, anything goes. I don't need to be a theologian or professional researcher to argue the case for common sense. Even kids have it till they get poisoned with idiotic belief systems.
