It is amazing to think of how many millions of people throughout history have died because of their unprovable beliefs. Just so you all know, I was raised Catholic, was an altar boy who served the latin mass and can still, to this day, recite, if not spell, the sucipiot. I am now an agnostic... and a history buff...and am constantly seeking evidence so that my world view more closely resembles reality.

Colossians 2:16-17 (New International Version)

16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

As an agnostic, are you saying to yourself --- I don't know, or are you saying to yourself -- I can never know?

Well, Jesus said that He was God. No other non-cult religion has that testimony. Plus the amazing expansion of the Christian religion, a religion that was persecuted and didn’t spread through the sword are powerful proofs.

Then you have that pesky resurrection.

Pretty powerful evidence if you ask me.
