Quote:The problem here is you thinking any historian who agrees that Jesus existed is a Christian trying to prove their religion.
Whereas you think that anyone who dares to question your obsession is an atheist with an agenda to destroy you.
The difference is "evidence." I have forever insisted to any of your ilk who show up ( and that goes for muslims, as well) that I don't give a flying fuck what is written in your books of holy horseshit. Where is the evidence to back up those books?
Even as reasonable a writer as Bart Ehrman eventually has to fall back on "the gospels" and the irony is that he has spent an entire career pissing into that pond and now wants to say "It's okay guys, I found a clean spot you can drink from." No thanks, Bart. I'll pass.
Carrier exhaustively examines all the evidence....including your gospels and epistles...but you are right not to read it. Your head would explode. I sense that you do not want facts. You want vindication for your beliefs.
I regard this as your problem.
