You guys tell us there’s something wrong with us atheists for not believing the Bible. You come up with all kinds of irrational reasons why we don’t buy it.
Well why isn’t it obvious to the muslims, Buddhists, Mormons, Hindus, jews etc?
How come they aren’t Christians too?
No. I am telling you it is idiotic to call it a fairytale. But please do keep doing it because I don't mind correcting it.
Ok I’ll give you there was a nice man name Jesus born 2000 years ago. Jews Mormons muslims Hindu Buddhist agree with that too.
Ugh.. There were lots of nice men 2000 years ago, well, probably at least a few.
Why do you suppose that this particular nice man, who was despised according to the story, was singled out to be the subject of a fantastical story about dead people coming out of their tombs and graves after hearing him speak a few words?
He spoke up. He was a big mouth trouble making rabble rouser
Yeah, but there were many big mouth trouble making rabble rousers back then who didn't rise up against their own religion. Ask Rosie. They were clamoring for an uprising against the romans. A Jewish holy war. but not Jesus.
Jesus instead openly rejected more than a thousand years of Jewish traditions dating back to the death of Moses, denouncing widely respected and beloved holy men who were famous for their acts of charity, doctors, lawyers, and their blind followers suggesting that they, the oppressed, should focus on their own shortcomings and love their brutal foreign oppressors. People high and low hated his guts. Everyone questioned his sanity. Why would anyone elevate him to the status of messiah, messenger of a holy God after he was unanimously condemned by the religious authorities as a traitor and executed as a seditious petty criminal by the Romans?
Some very dedicated religious experts and luminaries still scoff at the idea that this particularly offensive rabble rouser was the messiah.
Why would anyone think that Jesus was the messiah way back then much less an incarnation of God himself to this day??
