“OK, OK already. My math was off. You guys are being so Analytical you are ignoring the point I was trying to make which is - millions of people are willing to believe their was an Atlantis because of it being mentioned in a piece of historic literature. And yet many of these same people refuse to believe Jesus was who he said he was.”
There’s a point in there somewhere?
Many things are written. SOme beople believe some, some believe others. You can’t really draw a lesson from that in the way you intend to.
“• Sixth, why would the disciples die for a lie? We see in the Gospels that they were basically cowards. Why did these timid lambs suddenly change into the lions of the faith? Yes, people die for what they believe is true, but people do not die for what they know is NOT true. History says all of the disciples died for their faith except John.”
I think this point was missed by some above. Yes, crazy islamoterrorists die for what they believe to be true. But why would the Apostles die horrible deaths for something they knew to be untrue. They were there. If he didn’t rise again, why the zeal to die for a lie? It’s a fairly compelling argument.
BTW, I could care less becasue I believe with my faith and heart. If we had conclusive evidence all but the most dense of morons would be Christians. It was meant to be a matter of faith.
