re: Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose from the dead on Sunday

The irony in this thread is a bunch of motherfrickers criticizing the OP for poking holes actually believe a person rose from the dead.

This is why no level of "evidence" will suffice for the hardened heart. If God does something unremarkable and common, we will reject him on the basis of him never doing anything to prove himself to us. If God does the impossible, we will write it off a myth and folklore. No matter what God does, some will choose reject him.


In reality, both the theist and the atheist believe in the impossible. It's not possible for the natural world to create itself. Whether you believe that the world was created by itself with no initial catalyst, violating a multitude of scientific and physical principles or you believe a, by definition, supernatural being that exists outside of time, space and matter created the world, you must believe in a cause of existence that we cannot prove nor disprove via natural world testing methods.


I think it makes more sense to believe that a finely tuned, structured & organized existence had a designer rather than nothing acted upon nothing and became something.

If we accept that, based on the evidence of existence around us, there is more likely than not a timeless, spaceless, immaterial & immensely powerful being that literally created the natural world around us, is it really a far leap that that same being could breathe life into a dead man?

If this being had enough energy and could pull off time, space & matter, raising a dead man would, by comparison, be a walk in the park by my estimation.
