“Jesus Christ raised me from the dead after I drowned in crude oil waste in a tank in 1982.”
How do you know it was Jesus, not someone certified CPR?
Did Jesus leave his card?
Any witnesses?
“I have more to go on than feelings. I should have been dead, or at best, brain dead. Cockroaches don't even live through that.”
Uh huh. You have an anecdote. Is there a news article you could show us? Any corroboration to speak of?]
“I have laid hands on the sick and seen them made well.”
Let’s just say i have doubts…. Any corroboration of these events?
“I have cast devils out of people through the power of the name of Jesus Christ. I'm not naive enough to expect the likes of you to believe me[..]”
Well, then why do you bother to mention it, if you know we won’t accept your say-so as any more valid than ‘your feelings’?
“2. The whole WORLD looks different when you've been reborn.”
Yeah, i passed out from oxygen starvation one time, and my supervisor was at the end of a long tunnel when i came back. He asked if i was okay. I said, ‘no’ and thought it was obvious.
“My, what a tired, boring existence yours must be if you cannot even grasp this most basic fact.”
What ‘fact’? You’ve got a story. And you have feelings. I have no reason to think any of it’s factual.
"So, let me throw a tired cliche' your way: "Try it, you'll like it."”
You remember that in the commercial that was from, he DID try it, and he ‘thought I was gonna die.’
“I don't need to spend a lot of time on you if you're not going to be saved.”
Actually, doesn’t God COMMAND you to put in the necessary effort to save me? I know, most CHristains are all ‘i got mine, fuck you’ but that’s not what the Bible directs, you selfish fucktard.
