Sorry ,no offense.It's just that that old myth has been around a long time.Satan knew what was coming and tried his best to sort of put his version in.There were many "false " Messiah's between Moses and Jesus ,which was a 1500 year period.
Even the Soldier questioning Paul ,in Acts , acccuses him of being another one of those false leaders.
Jesus said "All who came before me (false messiahs) were thieves and robbers.."
Sorry but that's thrown out from time tot time like "OOO what are you gonna say about that one?"
That's as old as 'Where did Cain get his wife '.
I'm sorry I took it wrongly.

Sounds like you are in Australia or maybe England!
"Nice try" is a rugby expression, and could mean different things at different times. It's ambiguous, and depends on the context in which it is said. But here are a few examples:
If someone says nice try to you in response to a flirtation, it means you are not having any luck.
If they say it when you are suggesting an outing or a meeting or some other suggestion, they think you are trying to take advantage.
If you are asking for a loan of money, you are not being too successful.
Or you can be making a joke and they are telling you that it's not really funny.
In Rugby though, a try is really a score, so in some cases it may be that someone is saying "Well done", or "You have come really close to the right answer."
"All rightie then" is much more complicated. In some cases, the person may be agreeing with you on what you have just said, which is the most direct and simple explanation.
But it can also mean that what you have said is not possible, or not necessary, or unreasonable. Or perhaps they think you are joking.
It seems that you are a newcomer - in a few weeks one of two things will happen. Either you will understand the differences when people say these things to you, or they will stop saying them!
Remember, a newcomer gets tested, especially in Australia. They are just testing to see what kind of a person you are.
keep smiling!

Nice try means, You made a good effort, but I don't agree with you.
"Alrightie then", means just about the same thing. It's like saying, you have the right to your opinion, but I don't happen to share your opinion.

The implication is that your question was not successful - nice try, but.....
alrightie then is a little more dismissive - rather like they don't take you seriously.

"nice try" probably means that someone thinks you are trying to bait them. Many people don't realize that throughout history, there were many prototypes for Christ. What Christ supposedy did was written of for thousands of years prior to his being there. There was actually little or nothing that he did that was not attributed to others before him, including rising from the dead.

In your case it means that the answerer is goofing off.
If it was someone else it means that you are misleading people by your question and is a bit of sarcasm.
Always there are lazy jokers. Ignore them mostly.

Your way of trying to ask question regarding your doubt about religion is nice and you got contented of the answer.

Nice try = I'm not buying what your trying to sell
Alrighty then = I'm not even going to respond to such a question (could be for many reasons)

Basically, they only want the points for answering a question rather than offering any type of helpful advice/opinion.
