once again, if you treat the resurrection like any other historical event, then you can easily prove its historicity. fanofazrienoch

Same with Noah's ark right? You have to apply your logic to EVERY religion. That means Zeus and thunderbolts exist too.

Could you explain how the resurrection is symbolic, then?Symbolism requires that what is being told represents something real. What would the resurrection represent?Dracargen

Christians aren't the only ones with resurrection stories. The Egyptians came up with it first...

do you dispute my claim? fanofazrienoch

You forgot to mention the Gnostic gospels, gospel of Judas, and the other gospels "banned" by the first church at the council of nicea.

Either the Apostles were lying (and they took it to their deaths), insane (and they were the most coherent and sane madmen who ever lived), or telling the truth (and Christ did rise from the dead). Which is it?Dracargen

Christians claim Jesus rose from the dead after crucifixtion.

Muslims claim Mohammad asended to heaven at the Dome of the Rock.

Buddhists claim Buddha gained enlightenment under a Bodai tree.

Jews claim the entire world was flooded and a man build an ark big enough to save every animal on earth.

Polytheists claimed Zeus waged a war against hundred handed giants by casting lightning bolts forged by cyclops.

I claim the Flying Spaghetti Monster created mankind out of his blood-sauce and blessed us with his fleshy appendages.

Can all of these claims be true? All of these events have many followers and "eye wittness accounts" of it happening.

2. Predator

3. The Thing
