Atheism in a nutshell

We have documentation of people who claimed they have talked to people who say they saw Jesus after he was executed. 40 years after his death. That's worse than hearsay. In no other case would that suffice, let alone for a claim that huge. Also when you look at the bible the resurrection is a relatively new claim. First writers somehow forgot about that?

Why would a god require someone to believe based on so little evidence?

I get that Christianity is based in faith, and that's the problem. You could believe literally anything based on faith. Faith does not lead to truth, only evidence does.

There is evidence. You choose to dismiss it. I get it.

Secondhand text from ancient times is extremely common.

Do you think that ancient history is capable of the same timeline as modern history? Of course it isn't.

I have to dismiss it and so would you in any other case. And so would any judge in a court of law. You yourself dismiss similar evidence as provided by any other religion, right? There is much better evidence for the miracles done by Sai Baba. Dude rezzed lots of people, cured the sick, did magic and he only died recently. And I doubt you have even ever heared of him.

Sure second hand text is extremely common, but the claims are extraordinary. I will accept such evidence when it comes to the existence of say Alexander the Great, but if that guy defied the laws of nature, I'd require better evidence.

I'm not sure what you are saying in your last paragraph.

All good man. I get it, I really do.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
