The fact is that even you should admit that if the story wasn't in the Bible, you would not believe that the man in question rose from the dead. Your arguments are made up to try and justify your beliefs, rather than you belief resting on the argument.
What is interesting is that you don't think your arguments through. If there were Roman Centurions gu ...[text shortened]... . We don't have any reports from them do we? And why would they have been guarding it anyway?

In addition, Matthew's story about the guard is also out of order because it states that the guard accepted a bribe from the Jews, but according to our knowledge about the Roman soldiers it is extremely unlikely that they could be persuaded by any amount of money to take the risk of death for falling asleep on guard. If they admitted their sleep they just signed their own death sentences, and this is very unlikely. Also, if they had fallen asleep, methinks they would not have known that the disciples had stolen the body;
Furthermore, the phrase "to this very day" that is mentioned in Matthew 28:15 proves that the scribe of that gospel was writing many years after the events he was describing, therefore there was indeed sufficient time for the origin and growth of the legend of the guard. All in all, methinks these reports are pure myth

Or he could just refrain from tacking his pointless and witless comments on to every thing he reads. If he was actively 'trolling' like Vish you could forgive it, at least you might get a laugh now and then, but he seems to want to add an inanity to every open thread just for the sake of it.

What you are missing is that the time that I come on to the site and start to reply most of you are not around to add your replies wherever desired of any thread and so with no one on and I alone almost always they get to the appearance of looking bombarded with tacos everywhere without a coke, or cinnamon twists. lol

I cannot promise to make moves in any manner that you would call timely at present, more importantly I don't want to increase the number of games I'm playing at present (3). Therefore I must decline your offer.

Since when is it junk to share to another an expression to what they express, whether it a little loving gesture or more?

Originally posted by tacoandlettucespam is often defined with respect to usenet groups or unsolicited e-mails but the actual activity you engage in where you bump threads for no other reason than to give a one word/symbol acknowledgement such as "!", "amen",etc... just clutter the forums, add nothing to discussions, and enshroud more considered posts directed at others. This is certainly unsolicited on the behalf of most participants of this forum. "Spam" is an apt term for this behaviour
