@Radical_EgoCom Honestly, as a profoundly confused agnostic, (is there a god? is there Reality?!), these arguments always read as kind of patronizingly disingenuous. The loudest christians are deeply committed to fantasy and magical thinking, but that isn't even likely to be Most christians. I want to hear an argument against the beatitudes, for example. If you are So convinced you're right you deserve to proselytize, don't just argue with the lowest common denominator and call it a win.

@VaylLarkinPoet I'm not sure what your discrepancy is with this argument exactly, but this debate was specifically about the resurrection of Jesus, and both debaters agreed to take their respective stances on the matter in the debate with foreknowledge of the others stance, so I fail to see how this debate is in any way patronizing or disingenuous.

@Radical_EgoCom To clarify, I'm speaking more generally, but my point was the preponderance of such debates in the Atheist arsenal. Can we demonstrate that 3-day-old flesh no longer conducts electricity at the rate necessary to sustain life? Sure. Does it matter to most christians when considering their faith? Nope. I just wish I saw more pieces with Actual debates about more relevant issues. These barrel-fishing exercises come across as limited and simplistic, and I doubt they're convincing.
