“So with this said, I suggest recommending the following: (1) Tell the person(s) that if they have great difficulty believing there is but one Creator-God, to ASK HIM to make it possible for them to know He is God & to know He WILL answer them in His own unique way & timing!”
Still have to give me a fucking REASON to ask this, y’know?
Why ask your god, not Aphrodite? HER efforts to make me believe would probably be worth a letter to Penthouse.
“ To ask Him directly & not through a spiritual leader!”
And how do i keep a straight face while invoking a being i don’t believe in?
“(2) Mention that Lee Strobel, an award winning Investigative Journalist & a strong-minded atheist, set-out to prove once in for all, that Jesus was a fraud & was not who he claimed to be & did none of the things He claimed to have accomplished!”
Doubtful. STrobel’s works are ALWAYS giving the Theist the final word, the chance to rebut the atheist, but never, ever giving the atheist a chance to rebut the rebuttal. Or point out flaws. Or highlight the presupposition. It’s all an act for the Believers, who think someone has proven what they already believe.
“And, in fact, He never existed! Strobel hated Christianity even though he didn't have a clue of what he was talking about, but like many, had confused Christianity with mankind's religions, believing they were one in the same.”
I really don’t think this story was sincere. If it was, strobel was shit for a journalist. No follow-up.
“ And, as Strobel may have earlier mentioned, how do we know George Washington ever existed?”
Scads of contemporary evidence including people who hadno reason to conspire in the existence of Washington.
As opposed to Jesus, who lacks independent evidence.
“ How do we know our history books aren't a hoax?”
Lots more evidence than the Bible has.
“ Undeniable, verified documents is how Lee Strobel ended-up KNOWING who Jesus is & is not, was reconciled to God through Jesus & became an actual Christian and ended his quest by writing the only book in history, “The Case For Christ,” to prove Jesus is as the Holy Bible says!”
It’s poppycock. For one thing, he assumes Mark was written by Mark.
“ And, with this said, I mention I recommend them to read the book.”
Tried. Barfed. Went on with my life.
