Can people simply address his claim in the original post? The difference between me and the OP is that I am exploring what I believe but he is arguing for what he believes. But either way, there are a lot of juvenile comments and logical fallacies used by the atheists here. Also I didn't take the time to go through all the comments, I am sure that some did address the original post but these threads turn into mad max in no time
It was answered in Post #2.
This is a moron who believes a dead jew came back to life and flew up to heaven because he read it in an old book.
He talks about Homer but Homer speaks of Apollo coming down from Mt Olympus shooting arrows at the Greeks. Does our catholick pal think that happened, too? If not, why not? It's written in an old book.
I think it is more likely that Apollo shot some arrows at the Greeks than that the superstitious nonsense about Jesus is true. The Greeks were much more civilized than the Jews of the relevant period, and so they are less likely to be suckered by nonsense. He really should be trying to convince us of the divine inspiration of Homer, and how we should all worship Zeus and Dionysus and Apollo and the rest. Hell, I am halfway there in the worship of Dionysus, as I am ready to open a bottle of wine for a pious cause. Or almost any cause.
