I've written complete bullshit down before in the past. It's a historical document now and I am the eyewitness. He should believe me.

Then I'm not letting you play with my cool toys. You can go sit in the oven with the losers.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

You know what happened to the couple in the Bible who withheld some of the proceeds of the sale of their home from the church, don't you?
Think, man! Do you really want Katrina Pierson to fix you with that dead-eyed stare of hers, spout some nonsensical bullshit at you about what her god really meant, and then call upon the power of Trump to cause you to drop dead on the spot? Holy Ivanka! I tremble for you.
And by the way, it's not 10% anymore. It's whatever the pimps at Trump U. can wring out of you.

Yes. Especially the one where Jesus killed a child.
Not that it's really that shocking given he is the same entity with a kill count of over 10 mil.

Just because you (and Plantinga) believe your belief in "God" is properly basic, does make it so. The vast majority of philosophers do not agree with you (or Plantinga).
This, like all your other beliefs, require supporting evidence.
Maybe you should open a new thread and make your case.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

In the meantime, I am going to accept the accounts/facts/period analysis as it was originally written. I have no reason to believe this group of people lied or were confused--especially since my belief in God is properly basic!! Look, if you want to be Christian, and believe in the Bible, that's one thing. But no reason?!
Here's a reason-- people can't walk on water due to differences in density and the basic rules of physics. . . but the Bible says someone did. That's a reason to doubt it. Oh yeah, and that whole D&D coming back to life stuff-- you have really to be willing to give up on all critical thought not to at least ask if that happened. Cuz, you know. . . it never, ever does, ya know?
Oh yeah, and the fact that thousands upon thousands were supposed to be flocking to Jesus in amazement, begging him to heal them, etc. . . and that the Romans, perhaps the most obsessive record-keepers of the ancient world, don't bother even to mention him? Yeah, dude. . . you gotta use logic and draw some basic inferences here, buddy.
I don't know about your beliefs, but I can say anyone who hears all of that and doesn't thing here's a "reason" to question it is a properly basic human being.
