Did you not notice that I used the word 'prove' and all you trot out is
silly superstition.
The Jesus story is summed up for you below:
The Jesus myth
The only reason adults cling to the Jesus myth is the inherent fear of
death
and the potential life after death. Who wants to burn eternally in hell.
Who
does not hope to live a wonderful eternal life in heaven? This is the
opiate
that bolsters the illogical religious beliefs.
Just consider how ridiculous and totally illogical the foundation of the
Christian belief system is.
Keep in mind that God is supposedly all powerful and creator of the
heavens,
the earth and all the creatures in the Universe. This all powerful God,
who
created the human race with it's multitude of imperfections and ignorance,
then sent God the son to earth having him born of the virgin Mary. He then
had him grow up normally from childhood to adulthood with nothing on
record
of these im****tant years. As an adult he then preached a variant of
Judaism
in a small area of the middle East. His preaching reached only a miniscule
****tion of the worlds population at that time. The millions that were born
and died prior to his coming received none of his religious instruction
and
lived and died without its benefits. The other millions that he did not
reach with his preachings like wise lived and died without the benefit of
his teachings and pronouncements.
Jesus then let the Romans arrest him and painfully and cruelly kill him by
nailing him to a cross with two common criminals. What could be the
purpose
of this for an omnipotent God? It was supposedly to atone for man's sins.
But God created the concept of sin and punishment in the creatures he
created. Why would he need to be nailed to a cross to atone for sins he
created in the first place! Why didn't he create man free from sin and
from
punishment?
After all his grossly inefficient and ineffective teaching and crucifixion
he rose from his crypt and went back to heaven from whence he came. He
left
behind no do***ents or writings of his own as evidence of his instructions
to the human race. Instead he left it to fallible humans to do***ent his
instructions over several centuries in frequently varied and contradictory
do***ents now called the Bible.
Despite the passage of 2,000 years he has still left millions without the
knowledge or benefit of his teachings.
