Atheism: Since Jesus is a reality according to the Bible, to hold Atheism consistently one must state that there is no reality! OOPS!
Just thought you might literally need a reality check.

Oops, indeed. Since support for Jesus' reality is only in the Bible, Jesus is largely, if not entirely, a fictional character.
"Just thought you might literally need a reality check."
Your literal reality check, has been literally refused.
Ok, so we all need reality check. We don´t believe that Gilgamesh was half god or that Ra existed. Of course the Bible says Christ is real, no sacred book is dedicated to call names to the religion they´re holding. It´s actually the other way round. Because, for some reason, people believe in a religion, people read the sacred book and believe it. The Bible is the one to be submitted to a reality check.
Exactly: According to the Bible , a work composed of many different books written in different languages over hundreds of years, and then translated into your native tounge, English.
At least the Qur'an was written by one man.
This made me laugh! Thanks, Casey Powell.
(Oh, yeah, and your first step is to demonstrate that what the Bible calls reality is, in fact, reality. Just a hint.)
If you want to try and demonstrate something to an atheist, the Bible is not the reference book to use. Since we don't believe in God, we don't believe the bible is his holy word. Now, who is it that needs a reality check?
Why, that's silly. If claiming jesus wasn't real despite that book, you might as well claim some girl named goldilocks didn't really sleep with three bears after eating their food in a cabin they built!
Since four-legged insects, the pillars on which the earth is set that it cannot be moved, and the heavenly fridge in which snow and hail are stored for future use are reality according to the Bible, to hold otherwise consistently one must state that there is no reality! OOPS!
According to the bible, your god has the same strength as a unicorn. According to the bible, pi is three.
Now, who needs a reality check?
Casey's problem, as stated even more bluntly in some other fundies' posts I've seen, is that he apparently thinks that:
Reality = whatever the Bible says it is.
Instead of a "literal" reality check, what he should be referring to is a "literary" reality check!

Uh, I think that to make this a true statement, he would have to assert that the bible is real or reality. It is a book, even if one believes it to be true. Are we still living in the time of Christ or about 100 years or so after? Is that this guy's reality? He must convince A LOT of people to convert... Does he know the new testament is supposed ot be ABOUT Christ? So a book about someone's teachings (according to other people) is proof that they existed. this guy seems to not get that Christianity is SUPPOSED to be about CHRIST, not the bible. Is it me, or would he seem stupid even to the stupidest most dogmatic of Christians?
Ok, isn't the bible (new testament) supposed to be about the life of Jesus? Doesn't this mean that in "reality" the bible exists because of the (supposed)existance of Jesus? So how does this make the bible "reality" even if you believe that Jesus is real? Nobody explained Christianity to this guy. Does a car manual preceed the existance of the car? Or dictate reality in some way?If I made up a car manual for the "Ford Defect" would that mean that the "Ford Defect" therefore MUST exist? I guess I am just confused.
According to a book I wrote, a monster came into a little boy's room to get out of the rain. I don't think it actually happened, so I must be delusional, right?

Fundy Christianity: Not so much Circular Reasoning, more Pretzel Logic.
Amazing Spider-Man tells me that if I sleep on a nuclear beach, I will get the power to turn into sand and rob banks, unless some highschool kid in red and blue jammies fucks me up with a vaccuum cleaner. The reality? Not so much the case. Just because a book says it's true, doesn't mean it's true.
Also, I can't accept a reality check without a valid credit card. Sorry, it's for my own protection as much as yours.
Confused?
