Wait a sec. There are documents that claim Lincoln existed. There are documents that claim Jesus exists, still. Do you take the Lincoln documents on faith or can you show me facts that prove he absolutely existed?
I think that what is happening is that most reasonable people believe in God, and due to your anti-supernatural bias, you believe all religious books are false. I extol the glorious Bible to you and tell you it is self-evident to me that Jesus is alive.
Can you prove that it is not self-evident to me that Jesus is alive?
Let me rephrase there are validated documents proving Lincoln lived, his life was both indipendently and officially witnessed and photographed. Are you saying that millions of Americans are Iiars just so you can force nonsense into my head?
The NT is an added on 15% of to a bronze age fairy story that was selectively compiled from unvalidated material some 360 years after jesus death. The story of the illegitimate son of a bronze age god myth at a time when unmarried mothers were stoned to death. That story has been edited and translated and recompiled over the ages to the state there are now over 200 versions of the English language bible and over 50,000 different sects of Christianity each saying the interpretation of the particular bible they favour is the only correct interpretation.
Actually less and less and less people are believing in god.
Fewer Americans Believe in God — Yet They Still Believe in Afterlifeo
The religion that has the most devout and complete following of god seems to be islam.
You are most welcome to believe whatever you want. When you misrepresent me, lie about what i say, misrepresent atheism and make up horror stories about them just to satisfy your own ego then dont be surprised that your faith is put under the microscope
No, nor can i prove whether you wear a tinfoil hat in bed at night and that is something tangible
