30-40K people were convinced to stare at the sun because 3 shepherd's children (ages 10, 8, and 7) told a bunch of people an "angel" told them if they prayed really hard they could end WW1. Ironically 2/3 kids died from influenza the year after

Wait…they were told beforehand they would see god or Mary or something and then they stared into the sun? This is what my wackjob catholic barber used to gush about?

If the Christian God exist, would it be expected that he causes crackers to turn into heart tissue some of the time?
Were doing theory evaluation here, and I'm not really seeing it
Seems like this is more parsimoniously explained by facts that both you and I are both already committed to.
Such as people being liars and cheats, or just mistaken.

Guaranteed if somebody did DNA tests between all of the idols Cathcucks worship there'd be zero genetic relation between any of them.

If you read Ancient Greek philosophy and culture, you instantly realise that Christianity is heavily inspired by it.
Christianity is not new or special, Jesus wasnt that special, he didnt revolutionized anything, this was the religious culture back then.
Religion is clearly an invention by people, people gathered and discussed it, projected their personalities into their God. Same as they do now.
No religion is true until God himself comes to you and says what religion represents him.
Until then...make your own rules, get inspired, read philosophy if youre into it, if not..get a job and take your mind of these things.
What is up with homies telling me to do this and do that as if I'm supposed to do my own indoctrination? Copy and paste the relevant information into this thread.

You consider it foolishness because of your willful rejection of it as foolishness. Scripture acknowledges that those who regard it in such a manner will perish with much the same attitude. The mandate of the Christian is to preach the gospel; the belief or unbelief of the listener is a matter between them and God. This has no bearing as to its truthfulness, however. Christ is to confessed before all men.

It is a historical record by a literate society. Many other figures therein were actual historical people. For example Pharaoh Shoshenq I who campaigned in Canaan and no doubt encountered the Kingdom of Israel.

Behold: A historical record!
If the Christian God doesn't exist, and you don't Worship Him, the israelite wins. You don't want to be a cuck to international israelite soi, do you?
jesus was a israelite.
Or you know, I could just not believe in something that doesn't exist and also not cuck myself to international israelitery, so...

If fear is your motivator, you've lost to people in power.
Eucharistic miracles, Marian apparitions, purgatory relics.

Yes because in the eucharist we eat flesh and drink blood each week. God is transforming it.
Why does it only happen some of the time?

Eucharist miracles made me realize Catholicism is the truth
Behold the almighty god who made a biscuit go a bit red.

It's impossible to put blood on a biscuit?
why do atheists have to explain this?
Yeah, this is caused by poltergeists with a specific desire to turn biscuits red.
My theory accounts for ALL the facts.

1. Monotheism is the most logical spirituality.
2. Read up on the concept of the Logos and how it relates to Christ.

Correlation doesnt imply causation
Christ's miracles and his resurrection
No definitive proof Jesus even existed let alone was a magic israelite with magic powers.

It's literally called faith moron
why do you have faith in the israelite god and not any of the other gods people made up?
Why not the israeli or Islamic God? Why, specifically, the Christian God?
The resurrection was attested to by over 500 witnesses.
