I'm not denying that Jesus existed. My point was: a small numer of people claiming that 1000 unidentified bronze age goat herders saw someone come back to life is not a particularly strong piece of "evidence".
Nonsense. Where is your "documented historical evidence"?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the gospels were written sometime between 50 to 100 years CE by unknown authors (ie not actually by the attributed disciples) who had no first hand experience of the events in question.
It's utterly meaningless to say that thousands witnessed the coming of the messiah or hundreds witnessed his return from the dead. Who were these people exactly?
If I were to claim that in 1864, thousands of un-identified people witnessed Santa Claus land from the sky with his reindeer would that be credible?
Second hand accounts from four unknown authors are not the same thing as seperate verifiable accounts from thousands of individuals as you seem to claim.
I've been reading about Skype recently but have not got around to installing it. I believe it was written by the same people who wrote Kazaa. That set off a few alarm bells for me. Anyone know of any security/spyware issues? What are your experiences of running it on Linux?
At a Vienna train station, they sell T-shirts with a picture of an orange road warning sign with a Kangaroo on it (you Aussies will know what I mean).
In large text above and below the picture are the words:
"There are no Kangaroos in Austria!!"
This is entirely for the benefit of visiting Americans who are apparently unaware that Australia is not actually a small country next to Germany....:-)
This appears to have been quite succesfull with a lot of negative reviews posted allready.
