only believers saw him...i.e. Mary, Peter, John. Thomas (doubting Thomas) had to have proof and he was satisfied, like I said, only believers saw Him then and only believers see Him today, non-believers didn't see Him then nor will they see Him now. Amen.

Those who did not see him consider them blessed for they can have faith without seeing...

Wrong!!! Jesus did appear to the twelve first but he did talk to other ever how short a time it was.
Let me let you in on something that you may or most likely don't know all the people Jesus heal were not believers in fact most of them them were not.
At first they were just like you they were blind and could not see.
They listened to what he told they faith entered their hearts and Jesus healed them.
But wait just a minute Jesus heal everyone that came in contact with him.
And I am very sure that what ever you have against him it can be work out.

This is not a question but instead a religious diatribe by a zealot. Actually, only one individual claimed to have seen Jesus in the flesh. The rest said he came to them spiritually. Perhaps you had better check your facts before you start blathering about religion and the alleged Resurrection which really never happened.

Apart from showing himself to his beloved disciples, according to Corinthians, Jesus showed himself to 500 Christians
1 Corinthians 15:3-8
For I (Paul) passed on to you Corinthians first of all the message I had myself received - that Christ died for our sins, as the scriptures said he would; that he was buried and rose again on the third day, again as the scriptures foretold. He was seen by Cephas (the apostle Simon Peter), then by the twelve (or eleven remaining apostles), and subsequently he was seen simultaneously by over five hundred Christians, of whom the majority are still alive, though some have since died. He was then seen by James (brother of Jesus and later head of the church in Jerusalem), then by all the messengers. And last of all, as if to one born abnormally late, he appeared to me!

Saul was not a believer. He persecuted the church. On the way to Damascus he saw the risen Christ. He then was taught the gospel and eventually believed. He became Paul.

Jesus appeared to 500 believers at once after the resurection, and his tomb is empty and His body is no where on this earth or it would have been shoved in Christians faces a long time ago.

That's not a question, but a political stand. If you're going to state such an obvious lie, then you should back it with facts, and not opinions.

What you say isn't true
Christ was witness by a crowd of over 500 people after He was ressurected.
I'm guessing that at least some of these people were not believers

That is where you are wrong my friend. As we speak he is sitting in my corner rocking back and forth. He's angry, very angry, that everything he said is being used to counter everything he stood for.
He sort of looks like John Lennon.
