Yup, but useful for taking one. Well, there are a lot of ifs involved. If the paper is right, if the situation is dire and if your anus actually appreciates the treatment.

But for emergencies, everyone should carry a bible. You never know what life throws at you and you end up with stained pants.

From Richard Carrier's 'On the Historicity of Jesus:'

So what's up? Did you want to discuss anything? Aside from a few remarks about what others have said, you don't seem to have anything to say. That's okay of course. I guess our company is pretty irresistible.

If you've said anywhere why your username asserts atheism to be illogical, I've missed it. What an odd assertion. You believe in shit you can't point to but you find our unwillingness to do the same illogical. Whatever.

The only complaint I have with Carrier's work is that he assigns - arbitrarily - too high a historical probability level to some of this jesus freak horseshit.

But you can bet your ass that morons like him won't agree...not that they would even read something which dismissed their bullshit god for the myth that it is.

Habermas. Liberty Univ. Enough said.

WOW!

Bart Ehrman actually said that? Well, I supposed it depends what you mean by "almost anybody". How many historical characters are allowed for with that "almost" fudge factor?

Clearly, he really isn't a historian. Or he's being dishonest.

Are you referring to biased historians who will bend anything to their way of believing or are you referring to unbiased historians? Goodness knows, Christians since the beginning of time have never been able to be trusted to provide any real facts in relation to their faith, because lying to preserve the faith is above reproach.
