The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

God does not have to reveal something to every race, tongue and tribe simultaneously for it to be universally true. The fact that different groups have different understandings of God at any one time doesn't disprove His existence any more than the fact that there are some people on this planet who do not know that DNA or irrational numbers exist.

If you replayed the world again 1+1 would still equal 2. You could still make bronze by heating copper and tin and mountains will be pushed up by plate tectonics but what you wouldn't get is the history repeating.
And your god boy is just a blip of history not a universal truth and much as you try to deny it the fact that no-one but a small group of desert sheep farmers thought anything of it is a good reason to reject it as universal truth.

Quote:If that's really what "blows the whole thing out of the water" for you, then I guess your remaining days as an atheist are few in number.

Let me lay my cards on the table.
There is not one aspect of the religion you believe to be true that I feel has any merit in the slightest and think that whole thing is laughably stupid at its very core.
This is my honest opinion.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
