I like this toolbox reading off his moniter.

And what does he use as his "proof" ? The bible...

Yea buddy. Use that same book to prove to me that Snakes talk to people and that people can live inside of a whale. Moron.

@laharl808 OK...How do we know Ceaser crossed the Rubicon? How do we know Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, existed? How do we know Herodotos wrote the Illiad? How do we know know anything prior to the Middle Ages? The New testament is the most verified ancient document ever. We have less than 10 manuscripts of Emperor Tiberius who was the the Roman ruler during Christ time, there ar over 40 mentioning Jesus by name,including secular pagan Tacitus and Jewish historian Josepheus.

Also it's funny how people are willing to jump the gun and say ignorant things like presenting someone else's point of view is actual fact yet never take the time to even think of questioning the religious figureheads or peers or even the writings. Take a look at the factual errors presented in the text before you condemn someone else for doing so. I believe faith is a good thing but putting your faith in what a bunch of dead guys said 2000 years ago? Swing that mental pick the other direction

1 to 3 years is a time gap that doesn't fall into a eye witness spectrum of time. Eye witness implies that you actually SAW something, not hear about it a year later. That given it WAS the best we could EXPECT at the time they were written, unfortunately times have changed and so have our expectations, I meant unfortunate for you.

It never ceases to amaze me how poor the standard of evidence used by Christians really is, although I guess that's the only way one can actually be a Christian...

In spite of everything mentioned in this video, what do you say to Muslims who say the same thing about proof of the "real God", Allah? They sound exactly like you and are CERTAIN that Allah is the one, true god and not Yaweh.

So who are we to believe?

And don't get me started on the other 468 "major gods" man has invented:

Angdistis, Ah Puch, Ahura Mazda, Alberich, Allah, Amaterasu,An, Anansi, Anat, Andvari, Anshar, Anu, Aphrodite, Apollo, Apsu, Ares, Artemis, Asclepius, Athena, Athirat, etc

also, if someone lives a perfect life of righteousness, always donating to the poor, always doing the morally right thing, helping others, and basically everything the Bible told them to do, but they DID NOT believe to accept Christ as their Savior, do they go to hell? should they suffer for simply not believing in Christ and being wrong even though they carried out his message? if they do go to hell then why bother even trying.

[elmolovescookies]

your evidence of Jesus is the New Testament? The Bible cannot be used as historical fact. Also the eyewitnesses of few 2,000 years ago written on paper and tablets? that is no "Evidence".

Did someone piss in your Quisp?

After an unbeliever does a little "research" he or she will be able to find what may appear to be good arguments against Christianity..but true understanding of the Old and New Testament will prove that many of these claims made by skeptics show a lack of biblical knowledge as a whole
