I'm wondering, since we know Josephus' accounts have a whopping great forgery in them, doesn't that throw some doubt onto other mentions of "jesus" too in his work? Is there some way to be sure that part wasn't also tampered with?
I'm coming to think that the mooters and mythicists should get together. You can moot him onto a guy who had a brother, got crucified and got baptised or whatever, and admit the rest of his whole life is mythical. A mythical moot. Kind of a win for both sides. I'm trying to look at the HJ evidence, there's maybe a speck more than I thought, but it shows so little (at best) about one particular person as to barely give a starting point. I need to look at the evidence some more, though.
