Dead body's don't come back to life. They only happen in fairy tale stories written hundreds, thousands of years ago.

Is that rational enough for you?

If it is not, then how long are you going to continue in your delusion that such a thing is literally true?

ZX 432, because you or me have not seen George Washington cross the Potomac, that does not mean Jesus was resurrected.

The Bible, when examined, is found to be a book of fiction. It is not credible. The authors are not known, the words purported to be from Jesus cannot be verified. The characters cannot be authenticated.

In any event, if you believe Jesus was resurrected, then He should be alive and sitting on the right hand of God, so ask Him what happened and He should tell you. I have tried talking to Him for years, He has never answered. You may have some luck.

Just as a brief side note, the Bible probably does not include any contemporary testimony to Jesus' resurrection.

or contemporary (as in modern scholarship). As a question that I presented to my classmates on how much evidence is not enough, and when to abandon reasoning with those who are just too hardened by their bias to want to reason
...
mere introductory statements, which is about all this was.

First you accuse folks of ignoring evidence, then you admit nothing of substance was discussed. I think you should re-evaluate your own civility before you continue to challenge others'.

Thankyou very much.

Your arse is now ready for collection at the exit door.
