  "...debated Christopher Hitchens..."
  
  as in "was chewed into small, bitesized pieces by Christopher Hitchens".
  
  ...speaking of "embellishing"...the name of your prophet is not "jeezus", and your lack of
  grasp of that incidental detail just confirms how little you actually grasp about his LIFE while
  claiming to know everything about his death.
  
  ..."all Q and no A..."
  yeah, that is pretty much common to most of Frank's sermons. The problem of course is that he
  THINKS his views amount to answers. They don't. Including "data...atheists admit...about miracles"
  
  ..."new testament throws in the old testament..."
  no, the OT is a bible about Jews and YHWH the god of the jews. That god, has no interest in anyone
  else, and routinely killed those others. When it was written, there was no such thing as a christian. Nor
  were there any at the time of your prophet's death either. He himself was not a christian, he was a devout
  "essene" rabbi. He had NO INTENTION of creating a new religion, rather was a purist of judaic practice and
  he was killed for being a threat to the power behind Second Temple Judaism.
  
  ..."...absolute truths..."
  the ultimate fallacy of composition is claiming that "since I believe it, you should".
  and that also applies to Frank's notions of moral absolutism, as well as the history of his
  rigid ideologues' reputation for ENFORCING their ideology, especially by violent means.
  
  "...evidence for christianity..."
  really the strongest evidence AGAINST populist christian apologetics is the history of conduct
  among their most ardent advocates. They are particularly known for their cruel acts, although I
  will admit that some of them show kindness. I would much rather keep company with the latter.
  And I do, which is partly why I know something about the others.
  Oh yeah, your prophet was NOT killed because he claimed to be god. No devout rabbi would have
  said (nor believed) anything remotely like that. He WAS killed because he was a threat to power
  structures but NOT Roman ones.
  Just because you say something with a tone of passion, does not make you correct.
