What evidence would it take for an atheist to believe the Bible?

This is challenge, of sorts, to Christians. How much do you trust Jesus? In the context of these verses, is there any reason to think that he was speaking metaphorically?

The only reason I could determine for someone to think this was meant metaphorically was that it simply has never happened and very probably never will. I'm waiting for a live example, though.

This also serves as an example of an unfulfilled prophecy in the Bible.

No where in the Bible is it even mentioned that a believer drinks poison and survives. Every single other one of the signs mentioned in this passage were written about in the New Testament. Since the others were included in the New Testament, it's also extremely unlikely that Jesus was referring to the end times.

It also does no good to provide examples of physical methods of surviving poison (healing-meditation, etc), because a non-believer could utilize such methods just as readily as a "true believer."

Maybe be a afterlife and no god

Maybe a god but no afterlife

Just make up anything its doesnt really matter

What matters is you are living, many dont make it, to life ...so live it, the one and only life you *know* you have

[cybertrooper79]

The only way you could convince me that A. there is a god and B. there is an afterlife is if someone I know who is dead returns and tells me so, with others to verify and witness the event. Religious Faith is for cowards. I don't fear dying and ceasing to exist, I don't live my life in fear that I may offend an imaginary being by how I live my life, and I don't fear man made books full of doom and gloom and shall and shalt nots and neither should any of you.

I sometimes pick up snakes with my hands, but I don't really find jesus while doing so. I often times find an undigested mouse though. So the whole thing seems a bit rotten to me ...

@EpicPhalosophy There not different because you and other godless atheists assert their different. If I reply again it will be on your channel page. You Tube comments are too hard to keep up with.

@GreaseStain Which words?

@AlanRussellFuller you may want to look up the definitions of words you toss around so loosely.
