the Christian god exists

I don't think it's necessary to provide a speech so I'll simply say what is obvious. However, since started to write then I may as-well point something out: my opponent ignored many of my points and while he justified his disregard for the empty tomb, he failed when he made weak arguments for his position. 1. We have eyewitness 1.1 The 12 disciples "You did not show why their testimony was in any way validated by this." I said " suffered greatly for their testimony" 1.2 Ordinary people "This could all be made up as you provided no external evidence for your claim." I did provide this link so it's likely not made up: http://www9.georgetown.edu... "The following is from 'Problems and Materials on Trial Advocacy' " Misses my point completely. THIS IS NOT A CRIME SCENE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!! The differences are 1. A huge number of witnesses of the same event. NOT FEW 2. A huge number of witnesses willing to go through tribulation for their testimony. Has this ever happened in a courtroom even with few people? 3. External evidence, for example, an empty tomb "Just look at supposed alien abductions or people who believe their house is haunted." 1. Ugghh I just dealt with this. 2. No, you showed why tribulation for what you believe is not convincing, but you didn't show why tribulation for what you know, for what you saw, for what you heard and for what you experienced is not convincing. 3. First you have to prove your theories. " by men who had every reason to fabricute the story." Yes, they wanted to die horribly. 1.3 Paul "Another analoy" I've already told you what they're missing "1. A huge number of witnesses of the same event. 2. A huge number of witnesses willing to go through tribulation for their testimony. 3. External evidence, for example, an empty tomb." "You have not shown any credible evidence that these people KNEW they had seen Christ ressurect, although you have shown that they BELIEVED they had seen Christ ressurect." That's just bad grammar on your part. I know that I am typing this, but I can only believe that you're typing your rounds and not a computer; by your definition there's no such thing as knowing something. 3.1 First part "As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims requuire extraordinary evidence." you have not shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the gospels were not fabricated or that Tacitus and Josephus were not mistaken or lying." Are you serious? Believing that a man exits is an "extraordinary claim"? No, it's not, the belief of who he was is extraordinary but the belief that someone exists is not. Also, well done in simply ignoring what I have provided. "Some parallels between Horus and Jesus Christ:" 1. Horus was not born of a virgin. "The goddess managed to share a time of passion with her husband who impregnating her with their child, Horus" http://www.touregypt.net... 2. They sound similar in English, so... Shouldn't we be looking at the original languages? Yes we should. 4. First, where in the Bible does it say "three wise men"? Nowhere, we're only told what gifts Jesus received. Second, I can't find a reliable source which supports your claim about Horus birth. 5. Again, I can't find a reliable source. 6. You do realize that I need a reliable source? 7. No reliable source. You need a SOURCE. This is a trusted source: http://www.pantheon.org... This is NOT a trusted website for it could have been created by anyone: http://www.egyptianmyths.net... 8. So, do you like color blue? Ah, I think, I have showed enough. People, please choose, a professional website or a copy and paste from an unreliable website plus a forum thread, seriously. "This again is no argument but mere speculation on what their intentions might have been. Still no evidence that they were telling the truth." Yes, this is just a very unlikely scenario since no sane man would go through suffering for what they know to be a lie hence they were, indeed, telling the truth... "It's pretty self-explanatory. And it's not a theory I'm just pointing out scenarios in which Jesus may never have been buried to begin with." No, it's not, how is this supposed to makes sense in light of all the factors? You might just blame the Chinese, why? I don't know, but it will be just as credible for this theory like your theory is not supported by anything.
