Why would you expect unbiased analysis from an apologetics website?  WLC is a great debater and he's very good at presenting apologetics to the layman.


Because I assumed you would want to not present crap as evidence, but actually you've pretty much devolved into exactly the kind of person that website is designed for, people not actually looking for information or facts, just confirmation of whatever opinion they already hold.

The evidence is the scriptures, and the dating of the scriptures, and multiple other logical reasons why the resurrection is the best explanation considering all the evidence. 

WLC sums it up pretty concisely here:

Sorry, but retold stories written down as second hand accounts some 10-20 years after the death of the person described aren't exactly noted for their accuracy or validity. My uncle always talks about the shark he speared while diving, and it grows 20 lbs every couple years when he repeats the story.
If folks want to follow some of the moral teachings and have some feel good stories, that's fine. But to believe without question that it is true is absurd and in some cases dangerous.

WLC is a fucking joke to any rational human being. He's a con artist and a liar who tells idiots what they want to hear in order to get their money.

Except WLC is giving information and facts, they are just contrary to your beliefs. Do you have any specific problem with WLC or are you just ranting to rant?

He's a liar and a thief.

The 'facts' he presents as facts in your link are not facts but simply conjecture.

How is he intentionally misleading anyone and how is he stealing things from anyone?

No, the information he presents is generally sound, apologetic arguments.

He stole sound clips of an unreleased movie. Piracy. He outright lies about things atheist speakers like Krauss have said.

Inform yourself. The man is a fucking charlatan.

Source to back that up? Sounds like the type of thing which has no validity but was posted on an atheist forum one too many times.

I am informed, which is why I'm confused as to why you are so angry at the man.

Don't worry - there are audio clips of him lying in the video.
