Re: Do you ever doubt God's existence?

Bilbo you are right people do talk a lot of krap on the internet. Richard Dawkins is not my saviour, and his concession that a historical figure called Jesus existed, when faced with a cretinous fool who then thought it was a small jump from there to Jesus actually being God is neither here nor there. Of course you can never accept the fact that the Jesus described in the Gospels may be fictional.It would mean denying your saviour. You have already dismissed the majority of the scientific community with your claim that the universe was created. The only cast iron thing about your loony assertions is that they are based on faith and not logic.

Huh? I've repeatedly said that believing the divine and miraculous claims attributed to Christ are a matter of faith.

In this little debate I've stuck purely to factual truths. It is factually innaccurate to claim that there is no evidence that Jesus existed at all and that his story was made up 300 years later.

That is wrong, errant, untrue, false, incorrect etc.

I've demonstrated that both secular historians from Jesus' time and the leading and most informed atheists of today all accept/concede that Jesus was a historical figure.

Whether he did the things or said the things attested of him I cannot, and am not attempting to prove or disprove. I will merely say that clearly enough of his followers were convinced by him that they were willing to sacrifice their own lives for the cause.
