Yes, if you accept unsubstantiated bullshit as real, you can believe ANYTHING!
Quote:Yes it is hard to believe but the resurrection is THE most important event in christianity.
It's not "hard" to believe... it's IMPOSSIBLE to believe!
Quote:God rarely shows his power openly,
More like he NEVER shows his power openly.
Quote: But for this event he showed the extent of his power and impressed the people of Jerusalem.
Then how come no one wrote about it? A man is crucified and three days later corpses are rising up out of graveyards and the executed man comes back to life, appears to a whole bunch of people, then ascends up to heaven.... and NO ONE thought to write down what they had witnessed? Not ONE historian thought this was enough of an event to record it? Zombies walking around and it doesn't get a mention... ANYWHERE?!?
Quote:Of course this is just rationalization, my point of vue,
Glad to see you admit it!
There are a number of reasons why the recording of this event cannot be found
-Very few people could write at that time, maybe in Jerusalem no such person was present that chose to record it. Even then, the written words of a single person, like a diary, is easily lost.
-It might have been destroyed by the romans/high priests to get rid of evidence for the troublemaker that Jesus was.
-It might have been lost in the 2000 years between then and now !
There is not evidence for everything. Some things just dont have several sources of evidence to back them up.
