Christianity Proof! |
Christians bemoan their fate that, even if they were to show proof of
God, Jesus, et al, that atheists still would not believe it.
So, here's my challenge to Christians and the Christian God:
The Pope died on Saturday at 2:37 PM (Eastern US time). All we need
right now to prove Christianity and the Christian God is for the Pope to
sit up on his bier, 3 days later, and say, "I live!" or something to
that effect.
The Christian God did it for Jesus, certainly he can do it again for the
Pope.
What's that you say? It's been MORE than three days since he died?
Shame. I guess that kills that idea. Darnit. I was so hoping for
proof, too.

I think it's three days for messiahs, but popes take longer.
Believers seem to make this stuff up as they go along anyway. But
if Woitila had turned out to be a messiah, wouldn't the Christians
have to think in terms of a "quatronity" or something to include a
another god person?

I believe it was in Time magazine, I read about the ascendency of Mary
in the Protestant religions. Some object to another divine presence, but
I say if you got one human that is divine, why adding another is a
problem?

Nah, definitely not God's way.
The Christian God did it for Jesus, certainly he can do it again for the
Pope.
He did? Where?

You see no idea from you.

Well, the fundies assert that the earth has been speeding up, so days are a
lot shorter now. Remember, a day is like a thousand years (or something
like that...)
Imagine the pandemonium if, as a few thousand people are looking on, they
just happen to catch a glimpse as the corpse goes through one of those
post-mortem muscle contractions, and it sits up.

We atheists like to stick together, even though we are mostly independent
in our views. Unlike you religious folk who fight tooth and nail to prove
to each other who has the one true church...
