So we have two witnesses who didn't know each other and who saw
Jesus and agree on what he looks like. We also have Exhibit A,
the portrait of Jesus. Interestingly, in an interview, the boy
(Colton) said he wouldn't become a minister because there are
a lot of denominations that all teach different things.


I don't see anything here that even remotely rises to the level of
objective, or even reasonable evidence for the existence of a god.


Apparently, you weren't paying much attention to what I wrote at the
beginning:

"In between the extremes are those who accept personal experiences which
cannot be transferred to others except anecdotally. Here are two cases
where two witnesses testify of Jesus."

Of course personal experiences aren't "objective, scientific evidence."

A girl can paint? A boy thinks he went to heaven? Two people have a
similar idea what Jesus looked like?

A few anecdotal tales are not going to convince anybody.


You are dead wrong there because these events have convinced millions.

(And I'll note that there's nothing new here... this kind of silliness is
what apologists have been offering for years, all neatly shot down as
inadequate to demonstrate anything.)


I'm afraid I've exposed you to evidence for which you will be held
accountable one day.

Come on. You said you had real evidence. Something new. Let's have it.


You've had it, in more ways than one, I'm afraid.
