The difference is, that in the former case, we actually *have* contemporary sources, and in the latter, we do not. Has this escaped you? What precisely were Tactitus' contemporary sources? (Hint: they don't exist.)

Bullshit....but lets go with that...so "Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures of a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Chrestianos, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at that hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate All historians, whether Christian or not, know that there was only one man from whom the label "Christian" was applied to, and that is Jesus of Nazareth.

Did you forget what I mentioned about Nero, that fastening of guilt, and your other sources already? Hint: now you've lost Pliny in order to maintain a forgery. Gratz.

What precisely were Tactitus' contemporary sources? (Hint: they don't exist.) How do you know who is contemporary and who isn't? Or are you just believing what someone told you? Ahhh, I see. No really, I really want to know...how DO you know that George Washington was our first President? Were you there?? Ahhhhh yes yes...you have to believe what you were told, right?  Well, so did Tacitus. (November 24, 2014 at 7:47 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: Now you're begging the question. Do we have a historical record of any other person besides Jesus of Nazareth who gained a following of believers called "Christian"? No, we don't. Keep the foolishness coming.

You don't even have that (it is, in fact one of the questions we seek to answer here), and given that it's one element of what you're trying to prove, it's absolutely question begging to assert it here.
