Aye, was just an example.

It’s just an example- I’m not saying it’s the only alternative. Although the declining church attendance possibly causes people to seek third places (although I believe the declining church attendance is that it’s more socially acceptable to be a non believer these days. Would rather if someone come to Church that they’d be at least open to believing)

What book are you referring to here?
- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 1 week ago:
A story claiming to have eye witnesses to events doesn’t mean there were any, the author can say anything that makes their work sound more believable,
If you apply this logic to everything, history falls apart. The New Testament being written by someone who was around at the time and lived close to the events is quite apparent.
and given that there were no other documents making those completely unbelievable claims, they remain unbelievable fictions.
What do you mean “no other documents”? Apart from what? The documents making the claims?
What I essentially believe you’re saying is “apart from the documents making those claims, there are no other documents making those claims”. That doesn’t make any sense at all.
It kind of sound like you are unaware of the council of nicaea…where they decided to make Jesus a divine figure, and not just a prophet, among other stories they twisted and chose to suit their needs. We may not know their exact names, but we know the group and the months they met to write this book.
I am fully aware of it, seemingly more than you since you’re regurgitating Tiktok nonsense.
-
The belief in Jesus’ divinity predates the Council of Nicæa. The Bible literally refers to Him as God several times. Even in the Old Testament at some points. And even in addition from that, it’s clear He is not just a prophet, but the Prophecied Messiah
-
We know who a lot of them were. Such as St Nicholas, St Athanasius and Arius (the reason the meeting was caused)
-
The council of Nicæa didn’t write any biblical book. They wrote the Nicene Creed which isn’t in the Bible and possibly the Athanasius creed. The New Testament was already completed by the early Second century at the latest

That guy is a character in a book that wasn’t written until decades after his supposed death.
Wait until you hear about most of history… A lot of people we think we know were written CENTURIES after their death.
And those stories that made it into the book were knowingly cherry picked and modified to fit a narrative that the Romans wanted to push at the time.
That they were occupiers and killed the son of God? yikes
The only “evidence” he rose from the dead was that someone wrote down that someone told someone else that they knew of a few people that saw an empty cave a few days after they had stuffed a corpse in it.
No, some of the writings were first hand eyewitnesses, the rest were people who personally knew numerous people who saw Him.
And said book also contains a contradicting story about the same event.
No it doesn’t.
There’s more evidence that Spider-Man exists/ed.
No, because Spider Man is never claiming to be a true story and nobody ever claimed to be Spiderman. We also have a name - Stan Lee - who wrote the story and has no qualms saying it is fake. 2 billion people around the world don’t believe in Spiderman.

There is no god and no rational reason to believe in one.
Except from that guy who did miracles and stuff and rose from the dead
