The Atheist Obsession with Insulting Christians

[Randy Carson]

So don't watch.  He's constantly pulling the same shit I suspect because he thinks it makes him some kind of martyr.

Let's get something straight about him, C/L.  He's a cherry-picking asshole. 

That's because I can. There are LOTS of cherries which refute your stupid mythicism to choose from...I just love the ones from atheists best because they are so IN. YOUR. FACE.

He loves to trot out a line from Ehrman but I have yet to see him address Ehrman's conclusion to his bullshit resurrection gibberish.

So too with the resurrection of Jesus. Historians can, in theory, examine aspects of the tradition. In theory, for example, a historian could look into the question of whether Jesus really was buried in a known tomb and whether three days later that same tomb was found to be empty, with no body in it. What the historian cannot conclude, as a historian, is that God therefore must have raised the body and taken it up to heaven. The historian has no access to information like that, and that conclusion requires a set of theological presuppositions that not all historians share. Moreover, it is possible to come up with perfectly sensible other solutions as to why a once-occupied tomb may have become empty: someone stole the body; someone innocently decided to move the body to another tomb; the whole story was in fact a legend, that is, the burial and discovery of an empty tomb were tales that later Christians invented to persuade others that the resurrection indeed happened.

Of course....whether or not the tomb was ever "occupied" is solely dependent on the same book of bullshit which Ehrman has spent a career trashing but for now it is enough to make the point.

Hilarious. Ehrman is an atheist, so naturally he will draw some conclusions that I do not agree with.

But one thing is clear: Ehrman schools you again on the fact that yes, Jesus did exist.

So, what we're down to, Min, is the fact that Jesus really did exist and your whole life at this point is built upon the lie that He did not.

That's kinda sad, actually. Really sad.
