    How they think argument works:

    OK can you please prove that?

    Uh... okaaay? Yes I am woke, but that doesn't answer the question.

He doesn’t grasp that we’ve heard a thousand believer bro types speak about the same things and share the same “arguments.” His combination of arrogance with ignorance is laughable - for example his “belief” that “Matthew” was written by “Matthew.” The claim is ludicrous as that name was assigned years later and became a convention in the Middle Ages. It’s not like there is a signed text saying “I Matthew the apostle wrote this text okay.” Finn probably thinks the Bible poofed into existence one day. Maybe he doesn’t know that his Bible was largely assembled by the evil Catholics he doesn’t consider “true Christians”?” Lmfao

      @@jimbob3030 that's not an argument that tends to lead anywhere useful. The fact that the archetype exists (and existed back then) makes it more likely that someone living as a traveling preacher at the time would play into those tropes, either consciously to improve a "scam" or unconsciously while sharing genuine belief, because that's what they expect someone in their position to do.
      It's not possible to be particularly sure about the existence of a low status person from this far back in history, and ultimately it doesn't matter. What does matter is were the magical events described carried out by Jesus, or any other person or collection of people?
      If it turned out Jesus was actually an amalgam of 20 different preachers over a period of 100 years, but the stories were all true in that context, the events would still serve as strong support for the Christian God.
      If we could prove that Jesus did exist, but not that he was magic then that doesn't move the needle on how likely God is to exist.

    I always find it incredible that people use ‘woke’ as a bad word, when it means to wake up from a dream to reality. To suddenly realize a truth.
    Finn can spend his life seeing his life through a dream, seeing things and situations that are only a warped shadow of reality. Living a fantasy.
    I’d rather be awake and see the world for the way it really is.

Some Protestants do, some Catholics do (but not without believer goggles on) but most of both categories do NOT.

    he lied about bart
    When I was a Christian, of course I thought that was the case. But even when I had become an agnostic I thought it was probably a historical tradition: it’s found in all four Gospels, for example, and the fact that the stories indicate precisely it was *women* who found the tomb did not seem like something Christians would want to make up. (And so, as an agnostic, I had to come up with alternative explanations for why the tomb was empty. But…)
    I changed my mind. Most of my change came from my investigation of Roman practices of crucifixion. As it turns out, standard policy appears to have been to have left the bodies of corpses on the crosses to decompose, as part of their punishment. Decent burials were not allowed. I go into this matter at length in the book - at greater length than I want to excerpt here. But I can excerpt my new reflections on whether it is conceivable that any Christian story-tellers would invent the tradition that women found the tomb empty.

    • @SpacepopeSpeaking
      @SpacepopeSpeaking หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      yes, that is also what Bart stated he believes - that Jesus was left on the cross to decompose, just as every other crucified person.
      As for "why would Christians invent that women found the empty tomb"
      Mark 16 sets it up: the women talking to each other that they won't be able to roll away the stone, it's so heavy!
      thereby trying to pre-empt any critic who might suggest, that men rolled it away - it was those weak women who went there first, surely they couldn't do it, so it must have been angels!

But none of this applies to atheism, anyway, bc nonbelief has nothing to do with a "hardened heart". But if it did, the xtians should be blaming their god for that, bc according to their own book, their god is in the business of hardening hearts, apparently.
