Someone, don't you act like a condescending asshole

1. Now correct me if I'm wrong here but I think that even with their limited scientific knowledge, then they knew that people who get crucified stay dead,

2. So a guy with holes in his hands, his feet and in his side (because that's how the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples) and convinced those men, who had spent years with Jesus (and Jesus's own brother) that he was Jesus

3. Just what fuck. Seriously, I'm lose some respect for you myself. People can make up memories sure. But all about the exact same thing, at the exact same time, about the exact same person. As for the bear thing. If it was written down (a modern equivalent would be me bringing you a newspaper article staying vaccines cause autism ) possibly, but heres the thing. But if you pointed at an ordinary bear and said it they think you were an idiot.

4. His body disappeared. The Jewish authorities sealed the tomb. Imprinted a seal in wax say that if you broke the seal you'd be an enemy of Rome. And it was guarded by Roman soldiers who would have been executed if they had failed. Plus there was a two ton rock sealing the tomb. So how would the guards not notice people moving it.

5. If eye witnesses aren't evidence then what exactly counts then? And apart from anything else fake memories take years to develop and the disciples started preaching about Jesus within weeks of his death. And lack of science isn't the excuse you think it is. People don't come back from the dead. We've known that about as long has we've been around. And read the biblical accounts, they weren't eager to believe, they though that the women who had seen him were hallucinating. Then all of them apart from Thomas saw him. And Thomas though that they were hallucinating until Jesus appeared to all of them including Thomas.

6. Who would have had the motivation to claim to be Jesus, to his followers? Jesus had been executed, that meant to his followers that he was a fake. And it wasn't a false memory of Jesus because that shit takes years to develop.

7. If eyewitnesses mean nothing then hoe can you trust anything?

@spirit James was one of Jesus' brothers. He had three others and at least two sisters (it's said a few times in the bible). James lead the early church in Jerusalem from 33 AD to about 62 ADwhen he was executed. The Roman historian Josephus recorded in his "antiquities of the Jews" that he was stoned to death
