Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

I think that if God WERE to go BIG on the revelation thing, it would be coercive in the sense that we really wouldn't have any choice but to go along with the program. For this reason, God has revealed himself in some dramatic ways to some people so that they would know that they WERE dealing with God, but without denying them the right to say no. Most obviously, since He is God, He would be in a position to only approach people that He knew would respond positively. Like Mary, for example. I doubt she was chosen purely at random, do you?

First you say that god can't reveal himself to people because that violates free will.

Now you say god can reveal himself and it doesn't violate our free will.

And you're asking why I conclude you're a liar?

Mary was instructed, not asked. Look up the passage. And do you really think 'I will impregnate you with myself' isn't 'going big on the revelation thing'?

Bah. Your god should seek a better lawyer. You're embarrassing him.
