What would you accept as Evidence or Proof?

By the way you realize you are asking two independent things right?

Meaning that evidence for the existence of any definition of "god" would suffice for the first request. Meaning that Disproving Jesus as god, does not disprove the existence of a God.

And how exactly are Dionysus, Mithras, and Osiris "just another Messiah?"

Romanus

And how exactly are Dionysus, Mithras, and Osiris "just another Messiah?"

They each display similar qualities and myth forms to Jesus, as well each had their own Cults around them that were heavy on the Soteriological emphasis.

You can't prove it.
It's basically just something you'd have to blindly believe in.

I won't conform to what I see in you

Iceman_exe

Convince me that....

A god exists

Even though I beleive in the one true God, I can't convince you that He exists. I can tell you, but only He can convince you.
Please adjust you additude before ou demand that people convince you of something that you apparently have no desire to learn about.

I won'tsurrender what I am

Gods are unable to be proven or disproven.

Even if he was, would that really invalidate him? Dionysians still exist.

May I ask why you need convincing?

Are you having doubts that are interfering with faith?

Or are you challenging christians to get them riled up?

And another thing: in either case, on one should convince you either way. Doubts happen to everybody, and when that happens, they pray. If you are trying to make a stir, then most christians (the good ones anyway) will not be cooperating. Why should they prove anything to you?
