Richard Carrier - The Hero Savior Analogy

[Mudhammam]

OFC they're not wrong because they're absurd....no one said they were.   Your misapplication of the criterion of embarassment gives you the same reason to believe, for the same reasons...

The "same reasons"...? ...As what? ...the IDers?... That makes no sense.

however, that ther was a "historical creation event" by reference to all these threads on AF where atheists criticize it;s absurdity as the roman critic example does for a historical crucifixion.

Lol... I don't think I'm "smart enough" to follow your "logic." I might just leave it at Wittgenstein, who said in the context of the question, "How do I know I have hands?" "What we can ask is whether it can make sense to doubt it." Learning to separate the myth from the historical narrative, the answer that I've arrived at is no. When I see reason and evidence for the alternative theories, i.e. that there was no man born of a woman just as there was no god born of a virgin, but simply some other dude(s?) -- or was he/were they made up by made-up dudes of further dudes? -- whom conspired to start a new religion based on this irrelevant character, perhaps I'll be persuaded of the grounds for mythicism. Thus far, as it would seem to share with ID some incredible and in my view preposterously unsupportable and improbable suggestions, I'm not.
