WOTM: Established Facts
Hey gang! I hope you're all well. I'm almost all healed up from my accident back in February. I'm posting a day early this month because... it's my birthday tomorrow!!! 45 is gonna be tough! 😉 So I don't want to work too much.
This is kind of a part two to last month's "Original Disciples" video. If you'll remember, Low Bar Bill said he could prove the resurrection based on the "established facts" regarding what the original disciples said about Jesus' death and resurrection. But if we couldn't find any writings from the original disciples last month, how are we going to discover the established facts? And yes, you're thinking the exact same thing I'm thinking — Holy Hitchens these folks are dishonest!
Thanks so much for all your help with these videos. I'm really happy with the batch this month (I think it's almost 40 minutes of content). Enjoy! And stay tuned/tubed for more! B

Biblical evidence, they name is paucity.
Bri-Guy! (Sorry I'm late) You forget... the disciple Steve. He was Jeebus's mushroom dealer. lol.
Baba Booey!
Happy birthday Brian. I wish I looked that good at 45.
You're 45? We're gonna need some third-party stories from people who don't know you (in Latin) to corroborate that ;) Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Bry-Bry! Please hang around for many more; the world is a better place with you in it. One thing that is skipped over in the "resurrection debates" is how does it work. The Jewish tradition of animal sacrifices (human sacrifices having been outlawed), was the sacrifice was supposed to please god so that He would do what was wished for. So, if the Lamb of God, Jesus, was sacrificed, to whom was he sacrificed? Fast forward to today and we hear that Jesus was God, so he sacrificed himself, to himself, to get himself to forgive people's sins? I think he could have dome more with just a motivational speaker, less painfully, too.
Happy Orbit Day, Brian! Bet'cha low bar Bill would claim the Liahona is… a fact!
Happy birthday, Brother Bri! Glad to hear you’re continuing to improve – 3 months of recovery has got to be frustrating as fuck.
Happy Birthday Brian!
The problem with theists like Limbo bar Bill 'proving' Jesus is real, is they never prove a damn thing except their own ignorance of what the concepts of evidence and proof actually mean. Proof that a man was claiming to be The Messiah is no way proof that the man is the or even a messiah. As has been pointed out before, The Life Of Brian is a very accurate film depiction of Roman age Judea in that the place was literally crawling with people like Jesus. When Bill says the 'proof' from the disciples is worthwhile it still has zero value even if it was. Even if we just supposed that hypothetically the events of Jesus life took place in an alternate Jerusalem that had Youtube, so now all the disciples are vloggers and they personally document everything. like EVERYTHING, from full 360 degree video of the sermon on the mount, and lepers leaping up after being cured, and a tik toc of Lazarus waking up. So what? All that proves is a guy with enough of an ego to claim to be the son of god and some compelling magic tricks was wandering about. In no way does anything ever said or described by them (or their long long after the fact biographers) prove the claims of divinity or even prove what was seen actually happened. I've seen Penn and Teller catch double bullets plenty of times now and no way can I explain it, but it doesn't follow that they are deities, just really really good at bullshiting people. And even THEN, if we just entertain the hypothesis they he really did heal people and make real wine and fishes bread from water and bread, again so what? Cool trick Bro, but what proof do we have its not actually 'The Adversary' doing tricks to confuse people? Isn't Cthulhu equally as likely to be the source of that power as YHVH? The historicity of the Gospel is simply a goat path to nowhere.
