Barbara, I am far from a fanatic. Let me tell you this, if you saw me in the street and talked to me, you wouldn't no me different than other adult or kid that grew up in Brooklyn, with a thick NY accent. Talking about Christ's circumstances around his death, what would make his apostles, go around the world, after he already died, suffer vicously, and most die horrendous deaths, to preach the word of a mad man? Why stick to Christs teaching and words? Once he died, why didn't they back off? There were many, many people who were eyewitnesses to Christ's death and ressurection. Use common sense here..... You have no empircal evidence to many things you believe day to day, like the wind! Just because someone told you it moves some leaves and in rare form, much bigger objects, how do you know its wind? Because someone told you what blows things around is called wind! The empirical argument is weak. In fact, if I remember there were over 500 people who were eyewitnesses. It was well attested to history. We all have to face this question, was Christ God or was he a liar? He had to be one or the other. I say he was God and could prove it! How are you answering the question? Steve
