Notable Quotable

http://new.exchristian.net/2011/08/explaining-resurrection.html

Today's Notable Quotable is by Libby Anne.  It is actually an article she has put together about the resurrection of Jesus.  Good stuff!

Here is a bit from her conclusion:

I find it interesting that so many Christians seem to think that the resurrection is some sort of infallible proof of the truth of Christianity. To atheists, the entire idea that the resurrection might be an argument for the existence of God seems strange. I think the difference centers on the fact that the Christian believes that the New Testament is infallible and inerrant while the atheist does not. You can’t prove the truth of your religion using only documents written by followers of your religion. It doesn’t work that way. It’s circular. The Bible is inspired because Christianity is true, Christianity is true because the Bible says so. No. You have to prove it using something outside of the Bible. And when it comes to the resurrection, there simply is no documentation outside of the New Testament.
