 Quote:So, because something seems far-fetched, that means (for you atheists) it doesn't exist, am I right?Because something improbable and lacking in sufficient evidence . It is not reasonable to accept it . That not the same as the positive assertion it does not exist
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

I believe that the probability of the Jesus stories being true is infinitesimally small, so 99.999...% certainty is fine for me. You are wrong. That something is far-fetched does not mean it is necessarily wrong. But at the same time, why in the world would you assume that something that is far-fetched is true? That is a greater stretch. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Occam's Razor. You have access to Google so I'm not going to bother with a link. Occam's Razor is the assertion that if there are multiple possible explanations to a phenomena, the simplest explanation is most likely to be true. The simplest explanation to the universe (or multiverse) is that we have no idea of how it originated. Pulling an explanation out of your ass with no evidence has no validity at all. God/Jesus has no more credibility than Allah, nor Vishnu, nor the Flying Spaghetti Monster, nor the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I'll look up that thing you mentioned (Occam's Razor) in a sec.

How much credence do you put into Hindu holy books? That's about how much we trust in the Bible's "explanation." Look, it's an old storybook. There are tons of 'em out there. You can't go believing in all of them can you? It actually makes the most sense to believe in none of them.  (February 18, 2018 at 2:26 am)Nimbus Wrote: What about the Holy Bible? Isn't that an explanation? No, because it is very easy to make up a story and claim it is true, even though it isn't true. People from just about every culture have been doing this for thousands of years. The main reason that the Bible is considered true by so many people is that someone else told them that it was true. That never happened to me. I discovered a Bible in my parents' library when I was about six years old, and knew all the major stories by the time I was seven or so. No one in my family ever told me it was anything more than a storybook, so it never became anything more than a storybook to me. 
I’m not buying it.

Wiser words were never spoken.
Yeah, Camus, this guy isn't who he says he is. I can smell it.
