When an atheist enters a room, logic exits the room.

Take the moon landings as an example. Most believe we walked on the moon, but some think the entire thing was a hoax, staged on a movie set. However one views the moon landings will NOT determine their fate for eternity.
Something seems lacking in the Bible, and in history, with regards to the narrative of Jesus, and how His identity is still a mystery even today.
For eternal bliss, or eternal misery, this should be much more clear.

Are you not embarrassed by them?

Are you asking this because of my steadfast belief that black people need to get over slavery?
It's the past. Jews don't condemn todays Germans for Hitler, so blacks need to stop blaming whites of today for something they were not involved in.
Originally posted by @chaney3Do you believe that with the end of slavery came the end of racism and discrimination?

And the Jewish comparison doesn't work. (Or do you think Jewish people have forgotten about their long history of persecution?)

I never said to 'forget' the past, I said they need to move on, and stop blaming the whites of 2017 for slavery.
Black people hold onto to slavery as a crutch for entitlements today.

No one is responsible for your ability to discern truth, except you.
Millions of Christians find it perfectly clear. The identity of Jesus is not a 'mystery' to me at all. Until you are ready to abandon all your misconceptions and follow him, you'll never find your 'clarity'.
Stop looking for 'proof' and start looking for your faith in him. Nothing else is as important.
