Though you shouldn't let that stance make it so that you cling on to every claim that further pushes that truth without ever really researching or understanding such the claim.
Taking things on faith, to disprove faith does a diservice to atehists everywhere and simply makes it easy to paint atheists as god haters who's beliefs don't even rely on sceintific priciples. You essentially turn atheists into satanists and betray your own principles and reasoning for atheism... turning your atheism into nothing more but a differnt belief system. |
Look, I'm not pushing any specific facts. Sure I'm talking out of my ass a bit, but I don't need to be entirely accurate to make a point. If I wanted to stick to strong arguments only, I could say:
1. Well, the Christian Bible is put together mainly by the Romans.
2. Out of the Roman Empire came the papacy, which is arguably the most wealthy entity in the world. A counter-argument earlier was "why would Rome invent Christianity and then persecute them?" Well...why would Rome control the church when they persecuted their own people a hundred years earlier and killed their Messiah?
3. Nearly the entirety of Jesus life happened a dozen times with previous mythological and human Messiahs.
4. Most Christian/Catholic Holidays occur on previous pagan/Messianic holidays
5. The Catholic institution of saints closely resembles polytheism. Ask Catholics how many pray to Jesus or God. A survey was done a while back. Guess who was number one. Mary.
I don't need Atwill to say anything. I don't need any more proof.
Jesus the man hasn't even been proven to exist, much less Jesus the Messiah.
The only evidence that exists is some records, and those can be fabricated. We have no real evidence of existence.
