Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

Looks like I really do roll so hard motherfuckers wanna find me Big Grin

Ever seen/read Little Nemo? It's about a little kid who has to travel through some kind of nightmare world to fight, like, the biggest baddest monster dreamland has ever seen. That shit is nerve-racking.

At any rate...Kudos to Randy for taking the "Ignore" blinders off. I probably still qualify as a rude person the commanding majority of the time, but you know...baby steps.

There are no verifiable facts in the Minimal Facts approach. Calling them "facts" is just an underhanded way of trying to discourage debate on them. In referring to "non-biblical" sources, you're still referring to early christian scripture at least in part...they just happened to be early christian scriptures that for whatever reason did not make it into the bible. This puts their validity as supporting "evidence" about on par with the bible itself, because they are once again the claim.

That's the core problem with the whole argument: it insists on touting claims as evidence. You haven't changed your mind, obviously, looking at all your posts, but for anyone else reading this...that's what happened. Randy spent 84 pages saying "These claims count as evidence of themselves," and most of the rest of us stood back and said "No, Randy, no they do not." For 84 pages. GG everyone.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
