Answer 1

I agree with you completely!

Answer 2

"four people Mark, Mathew, John and Luke
wrote about the same person same stories. without communication"
Thats not true. Religious scholars and Biblical historians have reason to believe that the author of the Gospel according to Mark was written about 50-70 years after Jesus' death, and was based around oral tradition of Jesus' acts. Mathew was written long after Mark, and the author used a combination of the Gospel of Mark and another text which Biblical historians call "Q". Luke used "Q" as well, and another source, and John used Matthew as a source, both of which were written MUCH later, way long after Mark was written.
And even IF Mark was the first one to write about Jesus, does that make it proof? No. Mark could have gotten these oral traditions from ANYWHERE. Someone could have even made them up, and told them to someone else. There is no proof in these writings, just belief.

"In Egyt [sic] there are Heiroglyphics that talk about the parting of the Red sea.... and many other writings and incedents throughout history."

According to Archeology, Biblical historans and scholars, there is NO evidence about the parting of the red sea. In fact, looking back at the original Hebrew text has shown that its not even the Red Sea, but a sea called the Sea of Reeds, of which we can't find.
If there WERE heiroglyphs that recorded anything that coincided with any biblical writings, it would be a HUGE deal, all over the news, everywhere. HUGE. But there is nothing that anyone has found yet to even suggest that biblical events actually happened.

But if they did, does it PROVE anything? No. It doesn't.

"Mary has appeared to people and in the same way...like where I live in New Mexico"

Does that equal proof, or is it still a belief? I'm Pagan, and every year I go to a Pagan festival where I meet the Greek Gods in person. I've actually talked to Athena, and gotten a blessing from Hestia. Hermes stole things from me. Does this equal proof? No. Do you believe that I actually saw these Gods and Goddesses? Probably not. Does it matter? Not in the least.

Athiests have yet to find PROOF of God. They have found alot of beliefs about God, but no proof. And in fact, we will never be able to prove God. The point about Christianity is that its a belief. Yahweh and Jesus want you to believe in him. They find that more important than all the proof in the world. You can tell by Jesus' reaction to a Gentile in the Book of Matthew. The Gentile asked for Jesus to heal someone he knew who was far away, and said that he knew Jesus could do it with just a word from his mouth. Jesus did it, and praised the Gentile over all his disciples for his faith.

So when it comes down to it, Christianity is a Belief, and you won't find any proof in it. And if some people choose not to believe it, theres nothing anyone can do to prove it otherwise.

You just have to live with the fact that not everyone is going to believe in Christianity.


After edit: I edited out a swear word for the word "things"

Answer 3

Have you researched info on the history of the 4 gospels? Many believe they were based on each other, although without dates they can't say which came first. There are several theories, and all were written AFTER the supposed lifetime of Jesus.

There are other reasons for the parting of the Red Sea as well. That doesn't mean that the bible's account of what happened is the right one.

If you look into an oil stain, a piece of toast, etc. and want to see something, you're going to see something. Did you know that Muslims also find "allah" written on things? Here's an example of non-christian "proof."

And finally, the burden of proof isn't on the negative, it's on the positive. To say something is, something exists, then YOU have the proof.

Answer 4

1) That which can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. You can't prove there is, we don't have to prove there isn't.
2) So if four different people write about a great orator who travels the nation, he MUST be divine? Does this make Harry Potter divine, since so many different, unrelated authors have written about his stories? Also, how much do you really know about the origin of the gospels? Did you know that they were written 50-100 years after Jesus's death? Did you know that no one really knows the authors' names? Did you know about the Council of Nicea?
3) Historic accounting of events does not prove divine origin. Historians speculate the parting of the red sea (which may have actually been a reed marsh) could easily have been caused by local seismic activity, which the region is known for.
4) How do you know it was Mary? What if it was Aphrodite, Ishtar, Eostre, Gaia, or some other female goddess, ghost, or spirit?

Why do you think there is only one explanation for everything? Why are you insensible to any other possibilities?

Answer 5

Mark, Matthew, John, and Luke... How do you know they didn't know each other? And the writers of the Bible collaborated with one another to write it, so it's more than likely that they did know each other...
Egypt, parting the red sea, drought could have caused the sea to drop to walkable levels.
And for Mary of Guadalupe? Aren't those people in an environment where diseases that cause you to hallucinate run rampant?
For each statement you provide, I can counter it. Thus, how can you prove that there is a God?

Answer 6

I think a lot of it is simply that some people will not accept something they can't prove. I am a Christian and very happy to be. I also know that Gods ways our higher than ours. I can't wrap my brain around God or His ways. Some people just can't handle not being able to "prove" that God exists. I know I can prove it, just by looking into my life and knowing the difference of before Christ in my life and after Christ in my life. I am 10 times the person I was before and 100 times happier.

Answer 7

They cant prove that God is non-existences. But Remember were idiots for not bowing down to scientist and believe there every word. Is there anything that proves that we transformed into people from apes? I choose to believe the Bible and for that I am supposedly an idiot. Have you realized that evolutionist and others criticize Christians more than Christians criticize them? Yet we are called the judgmental bigots. I just done understand

Answer 8

That is a meaningless statement. The burden of proof ALWAYS lies on the person that is making up fantastic things. That is like me saying that you should prove there is no pink unicorns. NO I should have to prove there IS pink unicorns. so YOU prove there IS a god. I didn't make anything up to prove its existence or not!!

Answer 9

how do you know that they didnt have any communication? (really do you have proof? a link?)

how do you know that they all didnt write about different people and at the First Council of Nicaea they edited the gospels?

Answer 10

There is no tangible proof otherwise. Words in a book does not validate "proof" of the existance of God. just because you believe and have faith, does not necessarily constitute proof either.

Answer 11

If I can't prove it...for me to say their is none makes me a skeptic.

If a believer can't prove it...for them insist that there is one, well that makes them crazy.
