Re: Trinity
This Christian monotheistic belief sounds almost the same as what the LDS (Mormons) believe.
​
Probably more similar to JWs, Christadelphians, and other more "conventional" Christian sects. The trinity seems often to be one of first beliefs to go, not surprising given its remarkably shallow support from the NT. I was never convinced of it myself, whilst an evangelical Christian.

Re: What chance do us poor heathens have?
You never heard of the 1985 Habermas vs Flew debate on the ressurection of Jesus Christ ? Where 4 out of 5 judges ruled in favor of Habermas, and the other ruled it a draw?
​
Yes, and even while I was an evangelical Christian, I could see it for complete nonsense. You can see the debate, beginning here:
​
​
My 5-year-old could argue better than Flew
​
Applying Occam's Razor to the explanations of the evidence, and you quickly come up with the fact that Jesus's ressurection is proved beyond reasonable doubt.
​
of course, whatever you say, doc. Every now and again you show glimmers of free thought, but then you present a quote like this to show just how powerful self-delusion can be. If you want to believe in the resurrection, try using faith, and not bullshit.
