Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

Yay! Today marks the day of Zombie Jesus, the day that Jesus rose from the dead to atone for the sins of the world. The resurrection of Jesus is key to the Christian faith, if it didn’t happen then there was no atonement, and Jesus wouldn’t have been God in flesh. How do we know that the resurrection really happened? Well, we don’t, it’s one of those things that need to be taken on faith. Faith, belief in things without evidence, or things for which there is evidence against. No thanks.

Don’t forget that this also marks the Hebrew holiday of Passover, which marks the time that God decided to kill all of the first-born children in Egypt. That is unless you killed a lamb and spread it’s blood on your door post, as the Hebrew slaves had done, in which case the spirit of the Lord passed over that home and didn’t murder children.  

God is good? God seems to be pretty focused on killing people that don’t obey his word to the letter of the law, sometimes on the pain of death. What is it that is supposed to be appleaing about these religions?

More evidence against the Resurrection

Did the resurrection of Jesus really happen? What evidence is there for it past the text of the Bible? While a negative can’t be absolutely proven, there can be evidence presented for it’s argument.

Recently an Ancient tablet was found with 87 lines of Hebrew that scholars believe dates from the decades just before the birth of Jesus. It’s causing a stir in biblical and archaeological circles because it may speak of a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

It makes the case that the story of the resurrection wasn’t unique to Jesus but may have been a part of Jewish folklore at the time, and the the writers of the Bible incorporated this tradition into their writings.
