Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

People need God
What evidence is there that proves God's existence?
What convinced me was the New Testament - Basically, Jesus was a quite well recorded figure, and within a short period of time a narrative appeared about Him claiming to be God, doing miracles and then literally dying and physically rising from the dead. It rapidly started a movement of hundreds of people who were convinced that they saw Him alive, and many were willing to die for that fact if they didn't actually die themselves. There is a lot of archaeological evidence for this early Church, and I have very good reasons to believe that the Gospels of Matthew and John were eyewitness accounts and the likes of Luke and Mark were compiled by eyewitness accounts from that time and location. Basically, the New Testament was written in the first century about a Guy Who's existence and crucifixion is undeniable, written about His teachings, miracles and claims to be God, then His tomb was found empty and they claim they saw Him physically resurrected. It started a movement shortly after with the same narrative that hasn't changed, unlike other legends.
Good videos on it that can explain it better than me:

The naivety of it all is fascinating.
