Resurrection verses Reincarnation

-Removed-

Unlike yourself I have only used this account and Fetchmyjunk, and not ever at the same time. I took an extended break from these forums and came back with a new username.

But is this really the case?! As an atheist I obviously don't belief in either, but have read many accounts of people remembering details from previous lives that are difficult to explain or dismiss. Are these accounts really 'inferior evidence' to the accounts of the Resurrection, found only in the Gospels?

I would say there is some evidence for reincarnation, but not enough to make me believe it is fact as other explanations are more reasonable at this time. There is almost no reasonable evidence for the resurrection (this is not to say that a Christian cannot believe it, but that is not evidence based belief).

What I find interesting about the Gospel accounts is how Christians generally don't want to discuss the fact that Jesus' was not the only resurrection described therein.

Ah so now you are contradicting yourself by saying I am capable of pretending to be someone else?

Yes, I have to agree with this.

So in your opinion what would be reasonable evidence of the resurrection?

Why then would you claim that I am using other accounts but can't tell me which ones? Or do you just like to contradict yourself?

It seems everyone who does not grovel at FMFs feet is your enemy. No surprise there.

What do you do with the exceptions to this general rule ? I know many Christians who would readily discuss the other resurrections recorded in the Gospels.

Let me guess. You won't discuss it with me, an exception to your "interesting" general rule, because I behave SO badly here and won't apologize for some offense you insist I have against you.
