Re: Bratcher's argument regarding the matter
To some, God is a construct of the human mind to begin with. To others, such as myself, Christ has been found to be very much alive and active. This was discovered when His imparted awareness shown through me like light! I DO think that you have a great point here:
The major objection that I would have to Bratcher's position is that, lacking other direct historical evidence for Jesus Christ, we need to know that the Gospels are in fact inspired and accurate before we can be certain that Jesus ever walked the earth and/or is alive in heaven today. Right now, we seem to have a compelling story in the Gospels, yet one that seems to have discrepancies that will cause many critical readers to question its veracity.
And I feel as if the Gospels will always be a matter of belief and not fact, from a critical viewpoint.
This type of logic is also an impartation, I believe. Just as ice floats upon water, spiritually enlightened minds will always "float" on another plain from the concrete empiricism of limited human rationality.
There ain't nothin wrong with questions, though!

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. --Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
