Dear, Joe Rogan

Dear,
Joe Rogan

I watch a clip of you tearing Christianity apart. You said, "It has no proof." To be honest, it is the only religion that has proof. I will lay out a box of evidence that Christianity is true.

The first proof, is the prophecies in the Old Testament. There are direct references to Jesus in hundreds of verses of the Old Testament---some of them the Jews erase from the Bible, or try to reinterpret the meanings. Psalm 22. Psalm 2. Isaiah 53. There are others, but the most compelling evidence is those three chapters.
Then, the second proof, is archaeological evidence like the Great Isaiah scroll, which has Isaiah 53 in it, nearly verbatim. It also shows the Bible has been preserved through its translation. There is the Tel Dan Stele which talks of a battle that the Bible described. And it confirms David was a king. There's the Nebuchadnezzar Chronicles describes the Sacking of Judah by Babylon. Since evidence is most compelling in threes, I'll stop there. 

Third set of proof is the miraculous adherence of Christ's disciples to Him. These men died for the faith. It was taught to me that there is a three year period not recorded in history, and that three year period is the time Christ lived and taught. So, between AD and BC there is a three year gap which is when Christ taught. I'm privy to the knowledge that you're deliberately being lied to, and since you're so interested in Conspiracy Theories, the hiding of Christ by powerful men is the conspiracy. But, it is known that Christ's disciples died for Him, and men don't die for something false. They normally surrender the falsehood when faced with death, which is why martyrdom is a mark of Christian Conversion.

Fourth, and this is the most compelling evidence of them all, is the Laws Christ set forth. Confucius, Aristotle, Mozi, Lao Tsu, Plato, Maimonides, independently discovered aspects of the truth. Since truths must be confirmed by witnesses, each of these men had discovered different truths---yet each had gotten very specific details wrong. Christ, however, His moral teachings were perfect. No rational man can argue with them. And you, being a martial artist, knows that to fight can sometimes be moral, and Christ even maintained that truth when He said, "I come to bring the sword and not peace." The morals of the Bible are perfect, even the transition between the two covenants. From one covenant truth was obtained through observance of rituals and sacrifice, and since that didn't work, God placed truth on man's heart and allowed him to ascertain truth through the knowledge commonly observed by all men. Yet, what's significant about this is that geniuses, men with IQs higher than yours or mine, have found only glimpses of the truth, and often a lot of chaff. That is the best evidence that Christ is God, that a man who lived---his birth records and death records exist at the Vatican---and died, was homeless, a carpenter's illegitimate son, who was probably so poor he would never afford a book. That man came to knowledge greater than nine of the great sages of history. And He came to it on His own, and there is no reason to doubt it.

That is my box of evidence. I have far more, ranging from the arrangements of algebra, the order of the universe, the universality of constructs of thought, the ability for language to be comprehended, the similarities of patterns of behaviors in humans, the efficiency of nature, the symmetry of beauty, the emotions inspired by good, the observance of good and evil, love... But these four
