Hi again @maninayton,

Atheism like any other belief system requires evidence or else you are simply jumping into its claims with blind faith. If you said you were agnostic, then you don’t need to prove anything, because you would be unsure about whether God exists. But since you believe in Atheism, Atheism claims that there is definitely no God, and the universe and life came into existence without any intelligent design and intervention. If you looked at the extraordinary number of factors that is required for life to exist on Earth and the improbability of this happening, you would know that the claim of Atheism is arguably an even more extraordinary claim. So yes, you would need to provide evidence supporting your claim that without any doubt, there is no God/intelligent design, and the universe was a coincidence.

You said The sources I provide point out errors and inaccuracies in the bible which can be verified by just looking through one, they do not make claims of a supernatural being.
Well, the sources you provided aren’t credible. They are websites that no serious scholar/authority in their field would take seriously. The inconsistencies are either taken out of context or misunderstood. For example, the original text of the OT and NT were in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, not English, so scrutinizing over English words without understanding of the original and without understanding of the whole context of the Bible is not credible.

As to eye witnesses, there is no contemporary eye witness accounts of anything a person called Jesus did or said.
Although I disagree with you about the authorship of the four Gospels. Taking the authorship issue out of the equation. Just because the author may not be an eye witness, doesn’t mean their sources weren’t eye witnesses. Just as our modern day news and history is usually not written by the eye witnesses themselves, but is rather written by journalists and historians who interview eye witnesses to collate their account of what happened, more so in Jesus’ time, accounts were usually passed around first orally. Not sure if you’ve read thrugh all four Gospels yourself, but the detail in the Gospels are pretty vivid, and it takes a lot of faith to believe that all of this was made up.
In addition, I previously talked about archeological evidence that proved people and places in the Gospels were all accurate.

I would have thought that someone who is supposed to have performed miricles would have created something of a stir
Not sure how much of a stir you need, but the fact that we are talking about him 2000 years later, billions of people throughout history worshipping him as Lord, lives transformed, and many willing to die for him isn’t enough of a stir, then I don’t know what is.
The fact that it didn’t create more of a stir among people at the time, was because the Jewish religious authorities and Roman ruling authorities at the time wanted to suppress what had happened to save face and keep control of the people.

Until next time, Jimmy
