Yes I have more and if you have given your opinion about the knocking star and the fly's wing cure, there are others who have not know about them yet others with independent hearts and independent brains and independent decision .
I ascribe my atheist to just that independence. I ascribe your adherence to a religious claim without anything credible or validated to back it up as just lacking that sort of independence.
thrillobyte started a string entitled "A Challenge for Christians: Show Us Your Very Best Proof For Jesus." That string was restricted to extra-Biblical evidence on the existence of Jesus however. So I began this string with no restrictions at all. You Christians who genuinely believe that Jesus was not only actually resurrected from the dead, but that he subsequently flew off up into the sky, please provide your best evidence and rationale for believing that to be true. And for those of you who consider this to be a trap, of course I intend to rebut your claims. But if your claims are valid, my efforts to rebut them will not only be useless, they will be obviously useless. So how can you lose? The only thing you have to fear, perhaps, is discovering that your reasons for believing that Jesus was resurrected from the dead were nothing but empty claims and baseless assertions all along. If your beliefs are nonsense, you would like to know that. Wouldn't you? Or is it a fact that you prefer to continue believing a comforting lie then to know the truth?
Simply establish that believing that Jesus was resurrected from the dead is a reasonable thing to believe. That's all I am asking for.
No one owes you any answer on what they believe or don't believe.
