If you can, please provide some evidence or some argumentation demonstrating why SEVERAL THOUSAND professional New Testament scholars (atheists and theists alike) teaching at accredited western universities are wrong concerning the five minimal facts I have posted here.
Everyone would love to see if you have anything besides your own opinion or the thoroughly discredited views of your mentor, Richard Carrier.
As a professional courtesy, it would also be nice if you could document your own academic credentials (schools attended, degrees obtained, peer-reviewed papers published, books authored, etc.) and provide a run-down of the ancient languages that you speak.
Thanks!
Those 5 facts are not facts, and even if they were, they would prove nothing, Randy. We have been over this.
You failed to prove otherwise in that thread, so you won't have any better luck by hijacking this one.
The point is that even if (hypothetically) your fictional character was based on a human instead of another fictional character, HE'S STILL A FICTIONAL CHARACTER, dipshit! You have no proof to the contrary. Pull your head out of your ass.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
