“Just because there are alternative explanations doesn’t mean the original claim of resurrection is false.”
Sure. But, y’know, Occam’s Razor.
“Those explanations didn’t work back then and they still fall short today.”
Because...?
“They had it down to a science. It would be strange that these experienced executors would suddenly not be able to tell a dead man from a living one”
Unless they were bribed. Or overworked. Or corrupt. Or a hundred other things.
Maybe it wasn’t typical to fuck up an execution, but I bet it happened sometimes.
“One of the very things they safe guarded against was those sneaky disciples somehow stealing his body and claiming he resurrected. This explains the guarded tomb with two soldiers.”
It also explains why the Israeli Resistance Front would know the soldiers out, roll away the stone, and steal the body.
Now, I’m not sure Jesus ever existed. There’s some evidence, but the strongest evidence is probably forged. But if I knew Jesus existed, then I’d believe that over the Resurrection story for the same reason: Occam’s Razor.
“Wild speculations. There is no reason to not trust the eye witness accounts of the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.”
Dude. You said yourself that a human rising from the dead is impossible. There’s your reason, right there.
Now, you might believe on faith, but as far as I can see, you don’t have much better evidence than the Mormons, the Scientologists, the Muslims or the followers of Charles Manson.
Once you realize why you disbelieve in all other Gods, etc.
