A Harvard study links air pollution to bad covid-19 outcomes.Guess what is also likely to coexist with air pollution?

Nothing in history is more certain than that the disciples believed that, after being crucified, dead, and buried, Christ rose again from the tomb on the third day, and that at intervals thereafter he met and conversed with them.”

It is the job of the judge and jury to decide which. And a lot depends on presentation, not facts: "He who defends himself has a fool for a client".My experience is that judges want someone to write their order and their reasons for judgment and if a layman happens to have a lawyer who has connections inside the court (and especially outside the court), the judge does not do his job and dispense justice. And the appeal Courts do not want the status quo upset so they dismiss appeals with one sentence. I have seen many lawyers rip off their own clients. At least when I represented myself, I had an honest lawyer.When a jury is involved, the selection of the jury and the manipulation of the jury (a la Simpson) can play a big part. As we see on many forums, a fact can be twisted and presented in such a way that it means the opposite of what it should. Most jurors are are emotional and not analytical. One sees that with the historical convictions of blacks in the South.The only fair and just judgments happen in the afterlife.

2,000 years after they thought they were finished with him, they still can't stop him.
His buddies also called him GOD
citation needed, particularly as none of the current bible was written by anyone who knew him.
If you believe the bible, you would believe his friends called him "rabbi". No rabbi was ever criticised for being mainstream. But it's pretty clear you haven't read the bible, so I can't criticise you for not understanding it. Stay clear of religion and lead a good life, my friend. Farewell.
Quote from: duffyd on 09/04/2020 00:42:19Practically everything we need to know is wrapped up in this brilliant statement by Professor Metzger, Ehrman's reason for attending Princeton Theological Seminary. "The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is overwhelming. Nothing in history is more certain than that the disciples believed that, after being crucified, dead, and buried, Christ rose again from the tomb on the third day, and that at intervals thereafter he met and conversed with them.”You are right , but not for the reason you think.It is very obvious that some things- such as the existence of the Emperor Nero are more certain.So, it is very obvious that Professor Metzger, Ehrman is factually incorrect.Any school-kid would understand why he's wrong- because each and every Roman coin with Nero's head stamped into it shows that Nero was "king". And, of course, there is a lot of lother evidence.And yet, in spite of the clear evidence that the man is not telling the truth, people still cite him as some sort of authority.Andy ou can't even claim that it's just that you hadn't noticed.I have pointed it out a few times.But you still won't accept that he's not telling the truth.What did you come to this site for?

I disagree.

considered the greatest textual critic of the 20th century
confirmed piece of ancient history is that the apostles were certain Christ rose from the dead.

HE is the leading figure in history. More people are aware of who him than any other human being. He's changed more lives than all the people who were alive when Nero ruled temporarily.

OK, so you need to find out how the quote function works, and you need to work out who has the burden of proof (Hint: it's you in this case)
