<<what evidence do you have that Jesus did not rise from the dead? >> All the evidence in the world, set against your evidence of some myths in a book. The chances are a trillion times greater that a common sense verdict was nullified by OJ's jury, who needed for their own inner reasons to believe the incredible, than that a person rilly rose from the dead (as opposed to having had his body absconded with or a tale made up later to that effect.) Like the OJ jury-- but a trillion times more irrationally -- you and Chris nullify the common sense verdict of what happened because you need, for your own inner reasons, to believe a myth. The Book of Cochran became the nullifying OJ jury's Bible. to be continued....

Many religions' spokesmodels are alleged by their credulous followers to have risen from the dead, Greg. Please supply the evidence that they didn't. I'm quoting from The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors, by Kersey Graves. (I live in a virtual library, thanx to my hubby. No closets, thousands and thousands of books. Anybody want to trade a thousand books for some closets?) "Quexalcote of Mexico, Chris of Chaldea (any relation?), Quirinus of Rome, Prometheus of Caucasus, Osiris of Egypt, Atys of Phrygia, and 'Mithra the Mediator' of Persia all arose from the dead after three days' burial, and the time of their resurrection is in several cases fixed for the twenty-fifth of March." Not to mention that there is a three thousand year old account of the same thing happening to the "Hindoo crucified Savior Chrishna, three days after his interment." Re Mithra the Mediator? Well, over three thou years ago at His annual celebration, the priests exclaimed to their congregants, "Cheer up, holy mourners; your God has come again to life; his sorrows and his sufferings will save you." (Ring a bell?) At least sixteen, count them, sixteen, Saviors have been crucified, lain in Their tombs three days, then been resurrected (usually around the vernal equinox, same as Jesus.) (More than a dozen of them were virgin-born, btw.) Greg, what evidence do you have that Mithra the Mediator didn't rise from the dead a thousand years before Jesus is purported to have? What evidence?
