Do Christians Secretly Believe Jesus Walks Among Us?

[Eddi]

Well, at least you admitted that both ideas are bonkers. Good to know.

However, Jesus Christ rising from the dead is more plausible than you being the source of all existence

There are degrees of being bonkers, degrees of plausibility

And these are cultural more than personal, not ideal but that's the way it works

Lotta people fired up over this man that rose from the dead 2000 years ago.

So now it’s plausible? You just told me it was bonkers. So which one is it?

 

[Eddi]

Lotta people fired up over this man that rose from the dead 2000 years ago.

Well, if it happened then it would have been quite an extraordinary feat

 

[Kathryn]

More bonkers than believing a man rose from the dead 2000 yrs ago?

Like I said, you believe whatever you want to believe and I'll believe whatever I want to believe and we'll both probably find out which one is right one day.

 

[Jimmy]

Well, if it happened then it would have been quite an extraordinary feat

I guess extraordinary events like that are just restricted to that time.

 

[Eddi]

So now it’s plausible? You just told me it was bonkers. So which one is it?

There is a continuum of plausibility

Plausible at one end and bonkers at the other

"Bonkers" is when something is implausible, it is a degree of plausibility

 

[Eddi]

I guess extraordinary events like that are just restricted to that time.

I think some things only need to happen once

 

[Jimmy]

Like I said, you believe whatever you want to believe and I'll believe whatever I want to believe and we'll both probably find out which one is right one day.

I was making a point with edie about bonker ideas. As far as finding out who’s right someday, I’m all set with that.

That's great. So am I.

"Bonkers" is when something is implausible, it is a degree of plausibility

So believing a man rose from the dead 2000 years ago is just a little bit bonkers.

 

[Jimmy]

I think some things only need to happen once

Indeed

 

[Eddi]

So believing a man rose from the dead 2000 years ago is just a little bit bonkers.

It is less bonkers than a man living today thinking he is the source of all existence

 

[Kathryn]

So believing a man rose from the dead 2000 years ago is just a little bit bonkers.

No more so than many of your beliefs, and probably less than some of your beliefs.

 

[Jimmy]

No more so than many of your beliefs, and probably less than some of your beliefs.

I don’t have beliefs.

 

[Eddi]

I don’t have beliefs.

So you no longer believe you are the source of all existence, and that this reality will end once you die?

 

[Kathryn]

I don’t have beliefs.

We all do. Including you but not just you.

 

[Jimmy]

We all do. Including you but not just you.

I do have hopes though

 

[Jimmy]

So you no longer believe you are the source of all existence, and that this reality will end once you die?

Haha. I’ve never believed that. Personally, I prefer to know things.

 

[Kathryn]

I do have hopes though

Whatever you say.
