CALLING ALL ATHIESTS! Are you ready for the ultimate throw-down?

Question

My Jesus against your unbelief. If I am wrong, I will issue a public apology in the form of a question. If I am right, we both win.

Make this statement out loud with conviction: "Jesus, You know that I don't believe that You currently exist. However, in the interest of science, I am asking You to show irrefutable evidence of Your existence to me within the next thirty days."

o.k. I will stipulate that I'm nuts...just humor me, o.k.?

Notice my statement refers to Jesus as CURRENTLY existing. I think most would agree that He is an historical figure.

The thirty days is for your benefit. Jesus doesn't need the grace period, but you might, depending on what He has to move around in your life.

I'll be here, and I'll face it like a man. This is not a manipulation.

Answer 1

Done.

I've done this before since I've been requested to do it. The result has always been the same. Nothing. After many tries, I guess an additional 30 days won't hurt. The only parson that claimed it worked for her, she wasn't able to convince me she was an atheist, she had all the wrong concepts about atheism, I almost feel bad for her, but maybe she is convinced she was an atheist.

I'll give it the try just for the sake of the argument. And since I don't know the other people around, it has to work with me, I don't care about what others would claim since having an accomplice is quite possible.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Why "thirty days"?

Thanks for the clarification:

"Jesus, You know that I don't believe that You currently exist. However, in the interest of science, I am asking You to show irrefutable evidence of Your existence to me within the next thirty seconds."

5...10...15...20...25...30...

Considering all that he had to do was materialize in my living room (no big deal for an omnipotent god, right?) I'd say you just lost that wager.

But I won't hold it against him. After all, Matt 4: 5-7 makes it pretty clear this wager of yours wasn't going to work anyway, right?

Answer 3

Man, Jesus isn't a trick pony or a genie. If those that don't belive in Jesus won't believe with out a sign, I'm not sure God will be inclined to put on a show for their benefit. If you want proof of God, take a look in Revelation. The prophecies are all coming true.

Answer 4

Hey why 30 days? Isn't he all powerful and omniscient? Can't he do it in the next 30 seconds?

Come on man, if I haven't seen a shred of evidence in the past 42 years, what makes you think I'll see some in the next 30 days?
But hey, there is no harm, I'll give it a go.
And, unlike christians who say they'll read a scientific post I link but don't, I'll actually do this.

Answer 5

I have no problem with the idea that Jesus didn't exist, however there are ample Roman records that suggest the contrary. It's better to justify his being False by pointing out the flaws in the Theology that establishes his position. We'll never convince the fundamentalist believers that he simply didn't exist. PEACE!

Answer 6

OK, I said it. I do not believe though, that YOUR Jesus would appreciate you having all these people take up His time when He has wars and famine to deal with. Irrefutable evidence of His existence for me woud be for Him to stop the war in the middle east.

Answer 7

Why would I talk to a man who died 2000 years ago? Anyway, who said Jesus didn't exist? I think there's enough scientific proof there was a guy called Jesus, about 2000 years ago. Only he was not any kind of superhero with superpowers, and son of God.

Answer 8

I've given him my whole life and he still hasn't shown me irrefutable evidence. What's an extra 30 days going to do?

Answer 9

because god usually works in thirty day cycles, right?
if he was going to show irrefutable evidence to anyone who asked for it there wouldnt be athiests. good luck with every1 else though, because its easier to believe.

Answer 10

Okay. Thirty days is a long time though, I'll give him a week.
