Wow, so great arguments. You guys really know how to debate.

Is it worth keeping this thread open, or will more posts like "I know, you don't" keep coming?

That's weird because I support every argument I've made.

Class, not sure if I've asked you, but were you religious when you were younger?

Just being an American and all.

Yeah. Rasied Catholic and got confirmed so I had to go to sunday school for many years.

@Menzo, actually I did. Not really in-depth but I'm not going to make the argument for someone. The burden of proof is on them so if they want to list what historical evidence they have I will gladly explain to them why they're wrong.

I'm curious as to what this evidence was that supports the existence of a person named Jesus back then.

Not saying it's impossible, but I'm just not familiar with it.

Fun fact: There is more historical evidence for Hercules than there is Jesus.

Interesting. Because I used to get a lot of idiots saying I was "raised an athiest" so it's just as bad. Which is fucking ridiculous anyway. But something you wouldn't have to deal with.

If ancient Greek texts were filled with stuff that we could prove couldn't be possible - then yes, we would say it's wrong.

[classthe_king]

If it's historical evidence then it isn't wrong - if someone gives you an essay about ancient Rome or ancient Greece, you're not going to say it's wrong. But the moment something Biblical/religious is brought into the picture, even if it's something without divine intervention, you'll cast it as tomfoolery.

Not at all? You should read up on the subject before you try to debate it.

@Crashband, yeah. I just get the "you weren't a real Christian to begin with" as if that makes any fucking sense.

Just now reading over this thread... This has actually been pretty respectful.

Has anyone watched the documentary: "The God Who Wasn't There"?

[AbramIsaac]

I started watching it, but it seemed so poorly done that I couldn't finish it.

[Eedee]

I haven't seen it either, I was just wondering haha

[AbramIsaac]

I can't speak to the quality of the information that it presented, but Jesus the movie looked like it was slapped together by an amateur. The book it was based on might be a better resource to check out.
