Hostage to fear

[robvalue]

As it has come up here, I thought I'd mention this:

Even if Jesus really did come back from the dead, it proves nothing about the rest if the claims in the bible. It doesn't prove there is a god, it doesn't prove he is God, and it doesn't make anything he said true. All it would be is an example of a very strange phenomena, as yet unexplained.

It's also worth noting that "the ressurection" is suspected by scholars to be a later addition to the text; the original ending simply has a guy spreading the rumour Jesus has risen after the empty tomb is discovered.

You are clearly very well read and familiar with the bible and its history. This is a great defence against apologetics looking to claw you back, as has already been demonstrated in this thread! I've noticed a trend of atheists knowing more about the bible than Christians. Kind of ironic on many levels...
