My only problem with Buddhism is the cosmological aspects.

The desert religions are simply barbaric.

Huh? If something places peanut butter on your sandwich, it'll roll down and cover the bread. Like, if wind blows it over. I don't see a problem. Clear self assembly

Out of the two large crowds who saw him, how can you propose all of them were biased?

Also, Paul was a Christian prosecuter before seeing Jesus. Also, Jesus' own brother, James, did not believe Jesus' claims... until he saw Jesus after the resurrection.

How, exactly, does your accusation of bias apply to these three scenarios?

There are countless stories in history of different people coming back front he dead. It isn't even an unusual story in that regard.

Also, there have been countless magicians who perform tricks like this, even to this day. Houdini...

Anyone see that movie "the illusionist?"

you seem to think that millions of people combined can be just as deluded... I don't see where the problem is.

Consider this... That fancy typewriter-television you're pounding on? Take a sledgehammer to it then put in the yard and burn it.

You see, It's the filthy perverted product of godless science.

the vast majority the scientific community that brought you the technology you lower yourself to interact with believe in evolution.

Why would you make yourself party to that?

It's easy to trick a thousand people. Magicians do it all the time. And we are talking about people who never experienced scientific reasoning.
