Another "I saw Jesus" claim

Evidence of what? That Jesus exists? Hardly.

But to use the favorite imagery of the forum, we all have an idea in our mind's eye of what Santa Claus looks like.

I simply offered two variations of what Jesus might look like.

RE: Another "I saw Jesus" claim
So what is your point? Did that girl paint Jesus or not? Who or what is the Turin Shroud a picture of? If you're going to present these things, at least stand by them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If we did, would you believe them? No.

So, not having photos of Jesus is evidence that he does not exist, but having photos would not be evidence that he does exist.

Hmmm...it seems like you want to have it both ways.

And that sounds like a presupposition at work to me.  Cool

How can I know whether she has painted an accurate picture of Jesus or not. I have not seen Jesus personally, so I have nothing to compare her painting to.

I am more confident in the image taken from the Shroud.

Would you believe in them? Or would you ask for corroboration first? Sounds like presuppositionalism to me.

Or perhaps another example. I show you a photo of hoofmarks in the ground. Which of these claims would the picture itself be sufficient to support:

* A horse made them
* A zebra made them
* A unicorn made them

Nope evidence what so ever in Roman records, even if jesus existed pontious pilate would have written down something in a memo or something but no.
jesus never existed to begin with. There is no historical evidence whatsoever that Pilate ever administered the case of Jesus. The accounts were written into histories by the early church decades and centuries after the event was supposed to have happened. i don't wanna call you dumb but...you are easily fooled by your church and your religion wipe the bullshit out of eyes and actually question your book.

Which not even the Roman Catholic church accepts as genuine or miraculous.

Besides which, the fact that we don't have photos of Jesus that can be verified - and from which we are advised to run - isn't evidence of non-existence, but the god-detectors running around saying they have a relationship with this stuff ought to be asking some penetrating questions about now.

Well, Priapus kinds looks the same. With one additional detail.
