>>14200096>I have never met a Christian who really believes in the flood or the Adam and Eve thing.I'm from the south, and I have. It's ludicrous, but that's how it is.
>Here I differ. They definitely believed in the resurrection and Jesus teachings.They do in passing, and many but not all of the teachings they would but if pressed on it, but do you think someone like Gauss would have actually believed *literally* that Jesus rose from the dead? Especially those Christians who read the Bible themselves and found over 5 contradicting witness stories within the Bible itself?
Sure, if you were some dude on the street and asked "Hey do you believe Jesus is the son of God" they'd say yes, but if you were a friend/colleague and brought it up, you have to believe that they'd say something more along the lines of "Well, I've given it some thought and resurrection sounds a bit silly, but the stories he left behind are important and if a resurrection story is what has to be there to make it stick, then so be it."
