At risk of getting shunned: I read a list of predictions in the Old Testament/Tanakh about the Jewish messiah that are said to be fulfilled by Jesus. They're... awfully specific. And numerous. On matters of common historical fact, that couldn't be orchestrated by him or faked by his supporters.
...so now I have to reconsider my rejection of theism. :\
I'd be very curious to know which predictions were made and where they come from, and how we know which ones were fulfilled or not fulfilled.
This is the public group instrumental rationality diary for the week of October 1st. It's a place to record and chat about it if you have done, or are actively doing, things like:
Or anything else interesting which you want to share, so that other people can think about it, and perhaps be inspired to take action themselves. Try to include enough details so that everyone can use each other's experiences to learn about what tends to work out, and what doesn't tend to work out.
Thanks to everyone who contributes!
