I'm sorry that tactic is not valid. "If you can't prove it wrong then it is a fact". Bullshit, the bible (this is my opinion) in every religion is bullshit. Science disproves ALL of the bible. Like how people became what we are now. Just saying you can't prove it wrong, makes NO statement true. The only reason no one has proved it wrong is because there is no actual fucking evidence from the bible to prove wrong. It is a book of stories, what if I said, "Prove the ugly duckling didn't exist". There are a million arguments I could have that he did exist, and no arguments you could make with any evidence to prove he didn't.
The REAL problem when proving the bible wrong is that there is no proof to say it's RIGHT, so there is nothing to prove WRONG. What the fuck are we supposed to do, prove that some guy thousands of years ago was killed anyway? WHO THE FUCK CARES?

From what I said above, I don't see how you could possibly consider it a reliable source. THERE ARE NO FUCKING SOURCES, NO EVIDENCE, NOT EVEN A FUCKING SIGNATURE FROM JESUS. IT IS ALL STORIES THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO JUST TAKE AS THE TRUTH, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!1!!111!!1!!

It merely means that the perception of him has changed in the 200 years he was dead. It probably started as a bedtime story in Jesus' case, and it just became a giant book of bedtime stories for some reason. (Fighting a lion and such, sounds like a bedtime story to me), also I know I'm not talking specifically about mormanism.
