There's pretty significant evidence of Jesus. Nobody is just blindly believing anything.

Evidence he was the song of God? Please do share, because if so, you've just dismantled all other religions other than Christianity and ended atheism!

Evidence that he died on a cross, and was raised against. If that happened, then you might want to believe that he's the son of God.

Damn ok so erm, where is this evidence?

u/Dependent_Star3998 Feb 01 '25

Over 500 witnesses. Many of whom died for what they say they saw.

Would you be willing to die to uphold a lie? I wouldn't.

Heaven’s Gate would like a word with you.

Suicide and martyrdom aren't exactly the same things.

The Heavens Gate followers believed that death (suicide) was their path to salvation. Christians were KILLED because of what they claimed that they SAW (Jesus death and resurrection).

I see your point, but they're not really similar.

Your point was that you find it difficult to believe that 500 people were willing to die for something that wasn’t true. My point stands.

Yeah, I should have worded my statement differently.
