    There's Not An Iota Of Evidence The Apostles Existed

    I bristle when I hear Christians say, "All the apostles were willing to die for their faith in Jesus." It has become such a cliche like the other one, "There's more evidence for Jesus than there is for Julius Caesar" and my favorite--"Jesus Christ is the most well-attested figure in history." Do...

    The Fallacy that Jesus said what is written in the gospels

    It was supposed to be the start of a conversation but the Christian never responded. I wonder why. Here's the gist of what I said: The Greek scholars who wrote the gospels, far as we know, didn't have any sources--notes or documents from which to draw on when writing down Jesus' words in...

    What ONE critical piece of information made you decide to believe or disbelieve Jesus rose?

    For myself, I could have said * there were no eyewitnesses to the resurrection * there is no empty tomb * history doesn't record a single mention of ANY of the apostles, as if they never existed * the 4 resurrection accounts are rife with inconsistencies * the gospels were all written in...

    Which Old Testament Prophecy Fulfills Luke 24:46-47

    "He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." I scoured the Old Testament looking for a passage(s) saying that the Messiah...

    Jesus and Krishna--Two Peas In A Pod

    The similarities between Krishna's life and Jesus' life are so startling that it's often difficult to tell where one begins and the other leaves off. That's why it's important to remember that the Krishna legend was around a full 1000 years before the gospels emerged. The only conclusion a...

    Why I CANNOT Believe in The Resurrection

    Notice I didn't say, "I refuse to" The point is I cannot believe in it. I watched a debate on the resurrection this morning. At some point, Matt Dillahunty came out and asked "Do you have anything outside the Bible to support the resurrection." Jonathan McLatchie answered. "NO." That's it...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials are painting a dark picture of the world’s future, writing in a report released Thursday that the coronavirus pandemic has deepened economic inequality, strained government resources and fanned nationalist sentiments. The document focuses heavily on...

    Has Anyone Ever Gotten A Real Result From A Ouija Board?

    I don't believe in the supernatural, yet for some reason I'm reluctant to use a Ouija board. Has anyone ever engaged one and gotten a result that is truly inexplicable?

    Is Yahweh A Liar? Yes, He Is. I Can Prove It.

    Yahweh is okay when he makes grand sweeping prophecies that he will do things that are described in vague opaque terms like, "And I will bring forth great suffering on the inhabitants of the earth for they have done evil in my sight. I the Lord have spoken." Well, duh! We've seen people...

    Just 43% of Americans Identify as Protestant

    According to a recent (2019) Pew poll. Pew is one of the most respected polls in America so there's no reason to doubt their finds. Other findings: * 65% of American adults identified as Christians, DOWN 12% from 2009 * atheist, agnostic or “nones" now stands at 26%, UP from 17% in 2009. In...

    Why Praise God When He's The One Who Brought Coronavirus To Us?

    I don't get it. I read a lot of COVID long haulers stories of ongoing suffering and misery on several forums (people whose symptoms mild and severe linger months possibly years after finally testing negative). Many to most ask for prayers to get over it and a few who praise God when they...

    Jesus' Four Failed Prophecies About Him Returning In The Lifetimes Of His Apostles

    Here is something most Christians don't know: Jesus promised no less than FOUR times in the gospels that he would return to earth and his apostles would live to see it, yet he never showed up. Paul believed fervently that Jesus would return in his lifetime: "For the Lord himself shall...

    When "Inerrant" Really Means "Full Of Errors"

    It's no secret that God's "inerrant" word is riddled with errors. One can google "Bible contradictions" and come up with with pages and pages of results outlining hundreds if not thousands of errors and contradictions. Whole books on the subject are available on Amazon. Ken Ham wrote a...

    Questioning The Veracity Of James 5:15-16

    Some (not necessarily here) have accused me of expecting too much from the Bible's promises. I've mentioned that the only promise made by Jesus that appears in ALL 4 GOSPELS is: "Ask the father for ANYTHING in my name and he will give it to you." Some say I'm not reading the promises in context...

    Two Things That Confuse Me About Christianity

    Only two? No, actually more but I will deal with just two of them here. 1. Why are there 3 forms of eternal destination specifically stated in the Bible? They are 1. eternal damnation 2. eternal annihilation 3. universal salvation. For No 1: 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the...

    Shocked To Find Out Yahweh Was Originally A Canaanite God Who Had A Wife, Asherah

    Never in my wildest imagination when I was a Christian would I have believed that Jesus' Father, Yahweh actually originated in the Canaanite lands in pre-Israel times. That would make Yahweh a pagan god which the ancient Hebrews apparently adopted as their god. More shocking, Yahweh had a...

    Why Would Christians Worship a God Who Clearly Wouldn't Lift A Finger For Them?

    I go onto a BBS and read stories from COVID long haulers--those who have had COVID and are testing negative but carry a variety of lingering symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, body aches, joint pain--a whole cornucopia of symptoms ranging from mild to unbearable...

    Why Didn't God Leave Huge Quantities of Secular Evidence For Jesus?

    Why didn't God leave behind a huge trove of secular evidence for Jesus having lived on earth, dying on the cross and all the supernatural events accompanying the crucifixion like dead bodies rising from the grave and walking around Jerusalem? If God really wanted us all to believe Jesus is His...
