RE: Atheists:Can you disprove the resurrection or Jesus' existence?

Some Christian needs to first explain to me what I'm supposed to disprove.

By this, I mean tell me the story of the resurrection. ...no, no, I mean the WHOLE story, leaving nothing out and being internally consistent with ALL four Gospel accounts plus any references anywhere else in the NT such as in Acts. If the Bible is either God's Word or written under inspiration, I would expect such an important part to be completely accurate.

I'm not asking for proof. I'm just asking for it all to be tied together in one consistent story, leaving no detail offered in the NT out.

For example, when Mary visited the tomb, was it before dawn or after? Was the stone already rolled away or did an angel come down and roll it away before them? How many angels did they see? Were they afraid or joyous? These are all pretty basic details I'd expect to remain consistent in any true story.

And now a bit of humor that highlights the problem, I give you a link to "Rev" Brendan Powell Smith and his "brick testament"

Ah, these threads are always the same. They amused me to begin with... But I have lost interest in morons like this.

It has lost its hilarity with me. I just feel sorry for these people... They are wasting their lives on delusional bullshit, and actually go out of their way to confront people who don't think the same. It makes me sad.

Meh... Still doesn't mean that this shit won't sadden me... It is fags like this who stop people who are dying and in immense pain to end their lives by their own choice. It is none of their business.

There's a theory that was in the movie ''Zeitgeist'' where the filmmakers claim that Jesus was a myth and never existed. They also claimed that all religion came from ancient astrology and sun worship.

Is this the best you can do? Challenge us to prove a negative?

Okay, hotshot... give me your best evidence that I'm NOT sitting on a cloud right now drinking margaritas and having group sex with a bunch of angels.

I'm waiting....
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

That sounds like a lot of fun. In fact, I'll join you. No one can prove I'm not there now.
