(9,463 posts)the reader to understand why your preceding comment is so ironic.
Also, do you know the definition of "condescending" and "ironic" because you're not reacting as if you do?
To chastise anyone for relying on tiny scraps of information as being the basis for their "faith" that something happened the way they "think" it did (or perhaps that a certain someone exists/existed in a supernatural, omniscient realm) is ironic when you consider what you yourself believe while having NO scraps of evidence or information whatever. You simply rely on your faith to support your belief in Jesus, that Jesus lived at all, and that God exists and is watching over us every minute of every day, while simultaneously choosing the winner in nearly every sport and or other activity for which He is credited and thanked. Some scraps of evidence that Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John didn't know Jesus personally are a lot more evidence for their part than the evidence you possess that supports your hypothesis that Jesus did indeed exist, and by extension that God exists.
