I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.

so I guess you didn't see the 'sources' section at the bottom of every page...

well, if you're getting it all from a common source and it has many that you have seen are false... then maybe you're not using a reliable source and you should be more skeptical of the information you get from it. unless you don't care if your source is reliable or not... but go ahead and give me evidence you're particularly confident in. I can provide a scholarly source for less information (trying to gather scholarly articles for all the information you have would be too time consuming for me).

You provided one source, and I also previously said that I found this information across various sites(2 or more for each) and I am generally skeptical about everything.

Also I never said i was confident, or what you're implying, sure of any information that I said so I would appreciate it if you didn't twist my words.


I made this post because based on what all the various sites I have read display, and the information I read, there is a large amount of coorelation between Jesus and the other characters from ancient religions. I'll read the sources on that website, but the evidence is stacked against me finding anything that would potentially change my opinion.

He's just being skeptical of any creationists attempting to disprove god with "evidence" considering the amount of evidence against creation and how many times science has won in a debate against it. Anyone who can prove God's existence with evidence would be awarded a nobel peace prize, which is why anyone who supposedly "proves" it will always be met by skeptics.

all i'm asking is for you to narrow down your evidence to your best evidence. i'm not implying anything. as I've said, I'm not taking the time to go through such an exhaustive research rebuttal.
