Oh jeez, he's really bringing out all those?

Even the Talmud?

Wow.

[azsuperman01]

Yeah, he discusses the Talmud in depth in the next segment.

Unfortunately it had been a long time since I heard this argument, so I wasn't prepared at the time... that's what happens when you agree to an interview without specific questions agreed upon in advance.

Christian = uninformed individual

Oh no, not Josephus AGAIN!!! :-

Quirinius was gov of Syria twice, at the time of Herod and later in 6AD. Youre all going ot hell bc you dont know God and dont want God bc your sin distorts your ability to perceive but you will not admit your sin and have it cleansed/healed by God.

Romans persecute Christians to the point of extinction, or who knows "actual" extinction. They werent fu*king around thats clear. Soon after you have a Roman historian writing the Christian history and the Christians hold him up as evidence. I mean really. Whats wrong with that picture. If Jesus existed and was to come back, the first thing he'd do "Im guessing" is dish out some slaps and ask why you took the word of the enemy over his. Why did you attribute the enemies words to him.

Banned?

Christianity holds the unmistakeable title of most ignorant followers of their own religion in part because Christianities biggest followers are in the Western hemisphere. You cant say America has been dumbed down and exclude Christians from that equation. If the average American is less smart than he was 50 years ago then it follows the average church goer isnt as up on their religion as they should/could be. Theism and atheism are the same to me. Unwavering certainty of knowing the answers.

[Endiroth]

 I love how you sophisticatedly insulted him.

[holio84]

It is possible to have an intelligent conversation with a theist. A good debate, maybe.

[uberhax0r1]

[AstoundedAtheist]

Funny... When I read the original post, I didn't notice the type-o. My brain must have automatically inserted "Paul" after the word apostle.

:-)

[AstoundedAtheist]

I can't say for sure, but is it possible that you have too much to lose to believe otherwise?

I find It's easy to convince just one person, and even easier if that one person is yourself.

One other observation... You seem to be caught up in the details, take a step back a look at the frame work of your religion.
