Was jesus a zombie, yes! see thomas account.
Very interesting. I'd like to know, from where did you get all those statistics about apparitions?
To an apologist, if something is written in the Bible, it happened. If it says Jesus appeared to 500 people, then he appeared to 500 people. If it says there's an empty tomb, then there's an empty tomb. Etc. If you ask an apologist "What about blah blah blah?" then they might respond with what in their mind is an established fact "Well, that wouldn't explain the empty tomb".
But to a counter-apologist, just because it's written in the Bible, doesn't mean it really happened. Maybe it was just a distorted rumor that the author heard about through the grapevine and finally wrote it down decades later. Counter-apologists might ask questions like "If there really was an empty tomb, why did no one bother to mark it's exact location at the time it happened?" or "If Jesus really appeared to 500 people, why did none of them write about it?" or "If Jesus really appeared to James, why didn't he write a first-hand account about it?" Questions like that can illuminate the dubiousness of such claims. Apologists don't ask questions like that because they accept anything in the Bible as its written.
Have you ever observed or experienced what you're describing?
Do you expect to ever observe or experience these things?
Would you accept these things coming from anyone else or any other book?
Good stuff
jesus christ was imaginary. Since the gospels can't agree on what he was, who could touch him when, etc, no reason to believe ghosts or spirits or anything appears.
