Show me the evidence.

Have you ever read court testimony? Do you get a sense that the truth is being told or its lies? If not then don't waste your time. If however, you think you can discern lies from truth start reading the gospels. Head three sheets of paper. One says evidence for, one evidence against and the third questions.

When you are done, weigh the evidence and arrive at a descision. Like you would if you were a jurist. However, if you approach the task like an OJ jury member with predetermined attitude, don't waste your time.

At the very least you will gain an appreciation that Christians do in fact base their belief on evidence. You may decided that the evidence for you is insufficient but its not honest to claim there is no evidence.

Ever been conned? Con-men are pretty slick at making lies sound like the truth.

What evidence? You've presented none. At least the OJ jury had some evidence to weigh.

You've provided no evidence which may be independently corraborated. You keep quoting from the same source --The Holy Bible in an attempt to prove that what The Holy Bible says is true.

At the very least you will gain an appreciation that Christians do in fact base their belief on evidence. You may decided that the evidence for you is insufficient but its not honest to claim there is no evidence.

What evidence?! The only thing I've gained an appreciation for is you penchant for engaging in circular logic.

I made a simple request. Provide evidence that Jesus is the Son of God and that he was resurrected as described in the Bible.

Either you can provide evidence that will prove it to the world or you can't. I say you can't because God doesn't work that way. His proof is in the hearts of men, not in stone temples. He does this because He wants us to love Him of our own free will, not because of intimidation that comes with physical proof.
