Thank you - you beat me to it. The human mind - whatever its origin - is infinitely complex. It is affected by life experience, genetics, environment, you name it....Upbringing, and who knows what else, contributes to the way every individual weighs different kinds of evidence.

That's just a smokescreen you're hiding behind. Christianity stands on the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Pretty simple - either He rose, or He didn't. Many skeptics who were hell bent on disproving the resurrection because they hated Christianity, found, upon actual investigation, that the evidence pointed clearly to Christ's resurrection, and became Christians as a result. General Lew Wallace, who wrote Ben-Hur, is one of them. So is Frank Morrison, a lawyer who wrote the book "Who Moved The Stone?" after his conversion to Christianity.

Hey! It's not up to ME to disprove the "resurrection," it's up to YOU to prove it. Don't accuse me of bigotry because your "proof" doesn't stand up to logic and reason! You (and others like you) failed to convince me of an extraordinary claim based on flimsy evidence, so you're chalking up my skepticism to a "hatred" of Christianity. And then accuse ME of hiding behind a smokescreen? Remember glass houses, stones, that whole thing?

Christians like you keep telling people like me to keep "investigating" until we see things your way. If we still disagree, we must not have investigated enough. Keep investigating. Fine. I'll keep my file open for any NEW evidence, and until you provide me with some, I'll quit wasting my time. Have a good day.
