Jesus Christ (real or not?)

Dats right jus change da subject on meh.

 

We still on da subject of punishment brah.

 

Maybe in the fairy tale world you seem to be living in. And I don't think you even skimmed over the article that I posted. Showing me the same respect I showed you by reading the article I posted.

 

I read every word. I even quoted the last few paragraphs so I'd guess you knew that I read it. I have the feeling you only read the beginning of the article you posted, and I know you didn't read all of the article I posted because you told me you didn't.

So, anyway, the guy who eschews peer-reviewed research for ancient texts and anecdote is lecturing me on living in a fairy tale world... Sweet, sweet irony

 

These debates are going to go on and on until the book of revelations comes true. Debate one subject then next thing you know, I'm debating 5 people and the subject changes and this is going to go on forever. I haven't even had a chance to address the questions and arguments in the other thread, let's just call it quits.

 

I magnanimously accept your capitulation

 

I am a little mad at you now, for making me have to go get the dictionary.

 

"Logic" clearly means something very different in your world

 

Then at least you can't say you didn't learn anything from our debate

 

Why do you say that?

 

I'm not speaking for Hannibal but you good sir have an "unconventional" idea of what constitutes sound logic. See post 113 for further explanation.

 

Ok, I pulled up the post that you are referring to. First of all, in order for your post to be a valid argument against me, you have to give examples. Otherwise I won't know what exactly you are talking about. Making vague accusations doesn't help me be able to respond properly, which is why I avoided this post altogether.

And there are arguments and evidence supporting the idea that Jesus came back to life after death. But if I typed it out, as there are facts connected to other facts that lead to the evidence, my post would be entirely too long and it would be too time consuming for me to type it all out. I would also have to refer back to the book I read since I don't remember exactly what it said.

 

So unending?

 

So.......you can provide exactly the same kind of "evidence" I could give you that Santa Claus exists? So you do see the comparison! If you believe in Jesus then you must believe in Santa as well.

 

We're all still waiting for you to present any evidence of any sort.

 

No, I won't. There is no comparison. Santa Clause is a fictional made up character. Jesus or Yeshua is someone that even atheist historians acknowledge was a real person that existed.

 

Understand, that in these arguments, it is me (one person) vs about 20 people. I keep getting distracted. But I will revive the other thread we were having discussion in later, and I will answer people's questions including yours.

 

You're fielding them from all over!

It's been fun talking theology with you, I hope you keep going

 

Ah, yet Jesus the man died. Much like Saint Nicholas the man died. But the stories teach us that they both came back as magical beings. Frankly I think Santa is way cooler.

 

Ah, the morbid, dogmatic Christian longing for the end of times, death and apocalypse that Hitchens so brilliantly described.
