April Fools Day

Happy Atheist Day!

To be serious for a moment, there is nothing like a factual eyewitness account. And that is what we get in scripture: nothing like a factual eyewitness account.

Matthew, John, Paul, Peter, James, Jude were all eyewitnesses of the resurrected Jesus. The writings of the early church fathers concluded these men were the writers of the Gospels/Epistles that bear their names. Now you offer one contemporaneous piece of evidence that says the resurrection did not happen and the above mentioned men were lying.

You seem to have made the claim that all non-Christians are atheists without any supporting logic.   And on an agnostics forum, for crying out loud.

And your early church fathers could have been just as much errant as you,   Without telling lies. just by making assumptions that were not supported by reliable evidence.

My offer is still open: make a compelling case for the existence of god and I will become a theist. Follow it with a compelling case for Christianity and I will join your sect. No? Of course, it is called "having faith": presumably in the face of lack of evidence or logic.

What? No contemporaneous evidence that these six men were not eyewitnesses? No evidence that the writings of the early church fathers are erroneous? Well then, in that case I guess we’ll just have to accept the eyewitness’s testimony as evidence until some other compelling evidence is presented. Case closed.
