RE: Jesus
I think the reason nobody has responded to you website regarding your
debate is because these arguments have already been beaten to death. Your
arguments are not scholarly enough or anything new to actually use valuable
time to refute.
If you know of an argument against
Christianity as comprehensive as mine that is less than 50KB, I'd love to
see it. If you know of a <50KB work of Christian apologetics that even
addresses (much less "beats to death") all of the arguments and
evidence I cite, I'd really love to see it. In fact, you could just
point to such a text and claim to have won my challenge. But I doubt you will,
because (as far as I can tell) no such text exists.
Actually, most of your so called "arguments" are just assertions.
You claim God wouldn't do this or do that or whatever; that's not proof
against Gods existence only that perhaps you disagree with what God does
or He doesn't fit your definition what God should be like.
Any argument consists primarily of
"assertions". You either have answers to my arguments, or you don't. To imply my
arguments are just personal opinions is a poor substitute for actual answers
to them.
I am not going to discuss all that stuff you wrote since it has
already been covered in so many books such as 'A Case For Christ' by Lee
Strogel and 'Jesus' Resurrection Fact or Figment'- by William Lane Craig.
