"...Thomas did not believe the resurrection [John 20:25], and, as they
say, would not believe without having ocular and manual demonstration
himself. So neither will I, and the reason is equally as good for me,
and for every other person, as for Thomas." ~ Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
And if Yahweh is "no respecter of persons" as the Bible claims him to be, then I am well within a reasonable level of expectation that Yahweh present me also with ocular and manual demonstration of Jesus' resurrection. Especially when consideration is given to the advantages that Thomas allegedly already had: he knew resurrection was possible; he had seen Jesus raise people from the dead on several occasions and Jesus had given him the power to raise the dead himself!
