Was that god not the vanquisher of Planc, the Inflexible?

So duration is the expression of truthfulness? By this token, you admit that Hinduism is true, Judaism is true, and Islam is true. So, you are a pantheist, Carn?

Why did I become an atheist? Because the bullshit like you just sprayed smelled and tasted foul. It has no substance save for its nastiness.

[Faith No More]

My god's dick is bigger than your god's. Isn't that what it all boils down to?

You will forget 'xxxtobymac' for I am the true god.

I Am That I Am and there shall be no others. If any do not bow before me and believe, I will destroy the world and all that exists and send your sorry asses into the lake of fire. I hereby appoint 'Minimalist' as my right hand. All that he says on earth, so shall it be in heaven.

Please
1) explain your argument re duration.
2) explain the information provided that you regard as drivel.
It will be great if you could provide fact as it is quite difficult to respond to general and unsubstantiated remarks.

In the first place, Christianity would have died an early death if what was recorded in Scripture were falsehoods

The Greek gods lasted for 2 millenia and the Egyptian gods for twice that before both were stamped out violently by xtian thugs. Using your ridiculous analogy they should be twice as true as xtianity?

I just barfed because I saw Lee Strobel. You could have at least referenced somebody like William Lane Craig... even though he's delusional too, he makes for a more interesting argument.

Testimony is bullshit. Do you want testimonies of faith at your murder trial, when you know you're innocent, but everyone is sure and has faith that you did it? What if the evidence would clear you, but they won't allow it? Is that cool with you that testimonies of faith would only be admissible.

Of course not. The faith that you murdered someone could endure forever. Faith means nothing in the real world. Only evidence. It's drivel because it's the same baseless crap we hear all the time from theists.

Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism have been around longer than Christianity. How could you not bow and kiss the feet of Krishna? How could you not seek enlightenment by keeping your mouth shut and forming no attachments? How could you worship that false prophet?

If endurance proves something true, then there is some religions more true than Christianity.

See my siggy for details about how christianity got it's followers.

"In the first place, Christianity would have died an early death if what was recorded in Scripture were falsehoods - which could easily have been proven by those living close to or during the time the reported events happened. Nowhere are the facts stated disputed in early writings.
Christianity was hardly “in vogue” at the time of Jesus, and could easily have been dismissed if the facts stated could have been proven wrong. Especially the resurrection."

Here is the answer to 1 and 2. This is rubbish. Many religions survived despite absolutely no reliable evidence of their miracles or the reliability of their prophecies. Any crackpot can interpret any text and gain a "prophecy" out of it, especially retrospectively, which seems to have been the case with the "resurrection." Please, stop palavering about truth when you are using a fairy tale collection with about as much historical accuracy as The Chronicles of Narnia.

Yeah, I read C.S. Lewis, even some of his religious crap. He was better when he admitted what he was writing was fantasy. Is it possible to drum it into your head that the bible contains few if any facts? It is a storybook compendium. You should read Battlefield Earth. Maybe it is full of facts, too, but we'll just have to wait until aliens invade, then start up the rationalization machine again.

The best use of the word jesus is to evince utter disgust, which is what I feel when you ask for facts while spouting off biblical inanities. Evidence is the word you should ask for, and yet, before you do, you should provide some yourself.
