Aren't we out for truth. I don't care if comes from me or the mighty voltron refute it. Do not change the text of the conversation based on a few mistakes continue the debate. Just one more excuse of losing a debate mighty voltron. Anyway the Dallas game is coming on!

You're a funny guy. You duck and dodge most of the questions or replies thrown in your direction. You copy and paste and hope that people are fooled by your "thought provoking" posts. Then you make a pathetic troll attempt towards anyone who opposed you in this thread by repeatedly stating that Gooders1002 is the only one in here worthy of debate with you. How can anyone debate with you when you ignore their questions and replies?! Troll is gonna troll.

That's the point. Christ didn't just say he was going to rise from the dead and later his remains were missing. Other's saw him and beheld him after his resurrection. They touched him. They talked with him. He talked back with them. This was a real life experience. This was face to face communication. And not just between the twelve but an entire five hundred people saw him at the same time. Your grams claim of resurrection would have needed an eye witness. But according to your statement there was no witness. So, sorry your grams lied. Better get the posse ready.

Wasn't the account of Jesus' resurrection written 30 years after the event or have I got confused with something else?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
