We don't have anything like that for Jesus, so I'm not sure why Huggy thinks Washington and Lincoln are at all comparable.
Go back and look at the OP, it's about St. Columba, not Jesus. The issue raised wasn't whether or not St. Columba existed, but if the historical accounts of his life are factual.
That being said I'm sure you can find events attributed to Washington or Lincoln that aren't factual.
Yup, you're right. Misread the exchange between you and Harry, my bad.
That being said, comparing Washington and Lincoln to St. Columba is still ridiculous. The amount of evidence for Washington and Lincoln's words and deeds is infinitely more available and reliable than Columba.
Oh, and you can find words and deeds that are attributed to me
today that are false. But the way we can tell if they're false or not is with
evidence. Having no evidence either way isn't a point in favor of Columba. It's a point against.

Hah, I forgot who I was responding to for a moment there. I'm sure he's already copy-pasted that into a word document.
