Cicerone said: Not only didn't he stand out in any crowd, but nobody else wrote about his miracles while he was alive. How can that be?
Who was there to observe and record that incident where he turned that woman into a pile of salt?

The Beatles blew everybody's socks off when they arrived on the scene and people were too busy enjoying their music to write books about them!
As the years passed, people began saying "Hey, let's write books all about them!"
Same with Jesus, people eventually sat down and wrote 27 books about him and bound them all together and called it The New Testament..Smile
As regards Lot's wife turning into salt, that wasn't down to Jesus, she was 'collateral damage' when God wiped out Sodom/Gomorrah and brought it on herself.
God warned her and her family to get out of Sodom and told her "don't look back", but she couldn't resist having a peek at Sodom getting toasted, and caught a facefull of heat that turned her to salty ash-

1- Lot yells "Don't look back!"
2- She looks
3- Sodom getting it
4- She's a goner

@Romeo Fabulini,
How far in left field can one be? LOL
FYI, the whole world were introduced to the Beatles as follows:
Quote:
When did the Beatles first become famous?
In: The Beatles
Answer:
In 1962 they were very famous in Liverpool; they had to wear disguises to go out during the day. They became nationally famous in the UK shortly after the release of their second single, "Please Please Me", on January 11, 1963. It became a #1 hit in England. Europe soon followed, then America the next year with "I Want To Hold Your Hand". The Beatles hit international fame by 1964, when they "conquered America".


They were ALL ALIVE and PERFORMING when they became famous - all around the world.

Ah sweet nostalgia..Smile
I was 14 in 1962 when the Beatles first became a household name with "Love Me Do" which did fairly well in the charts, but their next releases catapulted them to super stardom..Smile

Alas. As is often the case, a 'believer' makes a stronger case for disbelief than the outspoken atheist.

That is a claim made by Professor Gray in Straw Dogs.

@spendius,
BTW--I don't recommend that book to sensitive atheists. It goes considerably further than atheists who are only interested in ripping off mini-skirts and screwin'.

Or Y-fronts for those of a musical disposition.

Who better to respond to Romeo than RL?

Their skills are remarkably matched.

Atheists may be more than you JW's can handle mate, but to me they're just small potatoes..Smile
For example RL said- "Was it not the Jesus believers who started the crusades and dropped the only nuclear bombs in recorded history?"
To which I deliver a knockout blow by pointing out that atheists have killed 35 million people so far with the AIDS virus alone (1.7 million die of it every year), let alone millions more throughout history in wars started by the atheist nazis, fascists, communists, Japs, muslims etc..Wink

@Romeo Fabulini,
What do atheists have to do with AIDS? Atheists are without theism, not without condoms.

Condoms haven't prevented 35 million deaths from AIDS!
Incidentally the map is interesting, it shows most of heathen atheist Africa is crawling with AIDS as we'd expect, but it's almost unknown in muslim countries where they don't tolerate gays!

Christians don't do 'gay'..Smile
Or are you suggesting monkeys started the gay plague?
I don't buy that at all, I mean, since when do monkeys hang out in gay bars?

That's probably because they're not using them.

Most of the african population is Christian and Muslim, not Atheist.

Oh, that is not very fair, Ros. You are using facts with Romeo. And that puts him at a truly unfair disadvantage! Wink

I was surprised to see him suddenly start attacking gays since a always figured he was a closeted one himself. It's clear he's got a man-crush on Jesus so I just figured Jesus was just the only man he felt he was "permitted" to admit his love for.

It's theists who have nothing to live for. Atheists however, have nothing to die for.
