Tell me something, RR.  Are you incapable or just unwilling to think for yourself.  Why do you feel compelled to select "experts" ( and you mainly seem to choose those who tell you what you want to hear ) to lead you by the nose?

I know xhristards are sheep but you could put up a little resistance.

Oh no Min he's "weighed and measured the evidence "  

And came totally unbiased to Christianity

I select experts by what they have to say (and the reasons they give).   You may note, that I'm the one asking for the evidence or reason here (quite often).  I don't just dismiss him as a mythicists, but address  the issues with the reasoning.

I'm not the one dismissing a priori, as just apologetics.

He desperate to misrepresent your position and make baseless accusations of bias . And then misrepresents Carrier and shows he has fuck all understanding of his work  . Then actually has the balls to declare he's listen or weighed the evidence before deciding. I'm shocked reality didn't collapse  into a singularity of bullshit from that statement .

What do you feel that I misrepresented from Carrier's work?

How about anytime you employ any criticism of him and the saddest part is you objections are just parroting idiots like Tim O Neil .

No you don't you pick them because they support your position 

Quote: You may note, that I'm the one asking for the evidence or reason here (quite often).

Yup as a motivated skeptic who has no interest in said evidence

Yes you do and no you don't

Do you have something specific?  Otherwise I'm just going to ignore this as your normal blather / chest thumping.   If I am misunderstanding however, I would like to know.   If you can't provide something specific, then I'm just going to ignore it.

Quote:Do you have something specific? 

Why would i need to be specific when my point was your entire criticism is wrong .

Quote: Otherwise I'm just going to ignore this as your normal blather / chest thumping. 

By all means ignore me it does not alter the fact you do as i have said .You call it chest thumping i rightly call it stating a fact .

Quote: If I am misunderstanding however, I would like to know. 

No you don't want to know .Because you whole case against Carrier is a misunderstanding and that'[s all you have .

Quote:  If you can't provide something specific, then I'm just going to ignore it.

As i said do so it's not like your not going to anyway and i'll be spared a small novels worth of you empty non points and tired mental gymnastics .

This is getting stupid. You claimed that RR's views "do not represent modern scholarship; you are an extremist, as far as higher Biblical scholarship is concerned."

There is no way you can support that. You overreached and now can't figure out how get out gracefully. Dodging specifics and then posting a book to buy is so lame.
