Everything in the second column seems randomly chosen, as well as misrepresenting that these "false beliefs" were universal. And they are quite unrelated to the existance of the invisble man in the sky.

wouldn't it be nice to know that as an UNDENIABLE fact.
most feelings can't be measured...faith(s) can't be measured. |
They can stick little electrodes up to your head and measure the electrical activity in your brain when you have a feeling. Faith is simply another group of synapses firing off.

The invisible man in the sky does not do these things, thus it does not exist.
depends on how you look at things. |
Nope. Any "God effect" is simply a result of the believer wanting it to be there.

You'd think something like the guy they just brutally killed walking around a week later would get noticed.
dude, it's not like jesus went trapsing into augustus' palace and mooned them. |
The walking dead do get noticed. Maybe not to Augustus, but you'd figure Pilate may have caught wind of the messiah of the jews skipping around town, wouldn't you?

| josephus, and pliny are two nonxtians who had something to say about the existence of jesus. |
Josephus' "account" is under dispute and will likely never be proven as the genuine thing.
Pliny lived one hundred years later and he was concerned with the treatment of the followers, not proving the existance of jesus.
So why is there no proof of his existence at time of his life? No records, nothing. It's quiteodd since he was supposed to be a very important hebrew that had caused such a commotion that the Roman procurator himself had to be involved.
Simple: It's just a story. A myth.

oh...can we count the apocrypha?
And by the by, what makes a 1900yr old document justifiably "unmythological" while condemning another? |
They're both mythology books. No more evidence of the divine than Bullfinch's Mythology is proof of Herakles. |
