One of the weaknesses of the story of Jesus' resurrection is that the only people who saw Jesus after his resurrection were his own followers.
If the Scientologists claimed that L Ron Hubbard resurrected, came to their conference, and then went to Heaven, would you believe them? So how can we believe a story when only Jesus' followers are the witnesses?

It's not so much that only his followers saw him, it is also the fact that he could appear to you in an altered form. Luke 24:16 and John 20:11-18. If this was so then anybody could be said to be Jesus. The man died and literally came back as anyone he wanted to be. How convenient.
I saw SAMMY DAVIS JR... That’s right, since white folx see ELVIS !!
@DenoPenno Concerning the post resurrection appearances of Jesus, the oldest Gospel, the Gospel according to Mark, does not contain any post resurrection appearances of Jesus. It seems inconceivable that the writer of Mark’s Gospel would “forget” to include the post resurrection appearances of Jesus, if in fact there really were any appearances to report. We can only assume that the writers of the later Gospels fabricated post resurrection appearances since they clearly copied from the Gospel according to Mark, and elaborated and enhanced the mythical tale of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
The best way to stop this nonsense is to hold people to their predictions. If the rapture doesn't happen, we still get to keep their stuff and they have to leave to live on a desert island.

You people got it all wrong: He was not predicting the rapture, he was predicting the rupture. If you would check the hospital records yesterday, you would see he was taken to the hospital suffering from an inguinal hernia which is another name for a rupture. See, he was right after all.

Oh good. I'm glad it's still going to happen. I wonder what the deal is with all of his bad predictions

It wasn’t the first such prediction and won’t be the last. I just ignore it and don’t legitimize it.

Conservative..."Christians" LOVE all the talk about nuclear war and destruction. They really believe that destroying the Earth will send THEM all to their fantasy theme park, HEAVEN! Boy, are THEY gonna be disappointed! But it IS sad to think these clowns value DEATH and the unknown over LIFE here and now! And they call themselves "pro-life"!!??

Exactly right. I have had this conversation with a "believer" at work - we actually have reasonable discussions about most things, which surprised us both! But two topics she would not waver on. End times (they want the apocalypse! DAMN dominionists, damn fearmongers) and Israel - when I mentioned I was anti-Zionist she about blew a gasket. Well, she said - if you were a Believer.... Sigh. I guess we are back to discussing Hebrew translations - much safer territory.
They forgot to carry the one, they'll get it right next time...

The thing is every society ever created has collapsed. So predicting the collapse of our current society isn't exactly prophetic. I'm certain that the Philistines at the height of their empire never imagined those ignorant Hebrew brutes would ever over run their relatively sophisticated culture. All it took was a drought.

Hahahahahahaha you can always tell the believers, as their hands are always brown, from holding them over their asses, while waiting.

I would say this one has gone through the whole gamut: ridiculous, lame, funny, weird, crazy (I am struggling not to say stupid... Oh well there you go)..... It really floors me to think there are people who think this is real.... That's just beyond me

If at first you don't succeed with your predictions, just broaden your parameters. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and a weatherman can be wrong about his prediction of rain today but eventually it will rain. We may have to wait a lot longer than sometime this year for the end of the world, I certainly hope so, lots to do yet without that kind of time crunch.

It is ironic how centric humans are. When we say the end of the world we really mean the end if "our" world.
@RedskyRiver Exactly my thoughts as well, even if we puny humans burn the planet to a cinder with nuclear weapons and exterminate all life, the planet will live on. We think in such tiny timelines at are nothing on a planetary scale.
@Surfpirate - We could never “exterminate all life” imho...
@Ungod Agreed, a nuclear winter would knock out all of the higher order creatures but the spark would still be left and from that another crop of higher order creatures would grow. I should have been more clear.
@Surfpirate - I don’t think ANYTHING that happens, short of complete destruction of the planet, will kill off the TARDIGRADE!
Even that would take a while to wipe out the TARDIGRADE!
@UngodYes, the little water bears will live on no matter what as would some of the deep subterranean life forms and certain bacteria, plus we should never underestimate the ignoble cockroach. Anything bigger than a squirrel would probably be in for a very rough ride, although Mother Earth wouldn't care a bit.
