OK, who in this forum doubts the existence of Julius Ceasar, the Roman Emperor. No one in his right mind would.
But, people call the existence of Jesus Christ a myth. When in fact, the existence of Jesus Christ is supported by a hundred times more literary, archeological and historical evidence compared to Julius Ceasar. My friends, it is not about facts, why people don't believe. It's about choice. People reject what they don't want to believe. That is why no matter how the Bible is verified, how many facts I present, it would still be fiction to some people. Acknowledging otherwise would upset their belief system so much as to be untenable for them. If Jesus Christ were to physically show up in front of Daniel Rocha, he would still find a way to rationalize it. Heck, maybe it was just that heavy bologna sandwich he had for dinner. That was nothing more than indigestion. It's sad but true.

Take as an example zombie stories: they are thrilling to many people precisely because the authors makes the dead raising plausible by setting it in the real world, with common people, not heroes or kings. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jojo Jaro <[email protected]> Date: 2013/1/1 Subject: Re: [Vo]:[OT] Moon God, Dozens of wives, and marriageable age To: [email protected] Now, we are getting into Philosophy. OK, I'll bite since I am not too busy yet. As to the issue of "unverfiiable source". You need to define what you mean by unverifiable. How does one go about verifying a history book like the Bible? You call it unverifiable because you choose to not believe it despite evidence as to its integrity. Archeologists have verified many of the statements in the Bible. Long lost cities, locations, practices and cultures have been verified to have existed according to what is written in the Bible. -- Daniel Rocha - RJ [email protected]
