Re: Belief over Evidence.

Not so. It is Christ who is telling me the difference between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of Him.
Any chance you could record that conversation?
Also, what is the "wisdom of Him"? From what we can see, it is purely the invention of the human mind.
The problem is not about a lack of information. The problem is a lack of belief.
What information?
The evidence confirms the idea that John was persuading people to place trust and reliance upon the idea of a Risen Christ and not just on the memory of a dead Jewish teacher. This is why your side emphasizes being good Jews (or atheists) who dutifully do many good works for the sake of others. And again...I have no problem with this belief apart from the fact that you steer around the idea that a Risen Christ has value.
How do you know that what the Bible commands is moral or good? You use your own reasoning and moral code to figure that out, don't you?
