There's a whole lot wrong here!
You may want to know what you are talking about, before you start making claims like this. Or is there something particular that I have said, which leads you to this conclusion?
Hey you're the one that said "By the way, I am one who could say, that I don't believe in evolution, I could also say I'm skeptical; and that I believe in evolution. All depends on what you are talking about when you say evolution."
And that guy from the link you provide is not an atheist, but your classical lying-for-Jesus Christian apologetic. For instance this is what that turd writes: "the tedious internet-based "Jesus never existed!" nonsense" - oh so this is only internet invented conspiracy that has nothing to do with scholars. I guess I could call it a blatant lie, but it's just typical statement by delusional Christian.
I mean for starters if it's so obvious that Jesus really existed why doesn't he or maybe even you tell us which Jesus really existed? Ha? Tell me? Was it woo-woo New Age Jesus who embraces gays and lesbians? Or maybe Catholic Jesus and the Orthodox Jesus and those of all the eastern sects in between? Or is it the Snake-Handler’s Jesus? The Pentecostal Jesus? The liberal and the republican Jesus? KKK’s angry Aryan Jesus and the southern gospel choir’s Black Jesus? Seventh-Day Adventist Jesus? The family-friendly Mormon Jesus that also lived in America? Or is it the Jesus being peddled on your doorstep by Jehovah’s Witnesses? But it must be the gentle, loving Quaker Jesus and the dour Calvinist Jesus? Muslim Jesus that lived in Asia after he survived Crucifixion?
But these are all Jesuses of faith, right? There must be some historical Jesus underneath all the miracles bullshit that "real scholars" recognize and have proven him, but again which one? Was the Apocalyptic Prophet real Jesus? Or First-Century Proto-Communist? Or Nonviolent Pacifist Resister? Or Violent Zealot Revolutionary? Or it must be Magician/Exorcist/Faith Healer? And what about Jesus The Essene Heretic? Well it must be Cynic philosopher Jesus the real historical Jesus? Or Conservative Rabbi Jesus that insists keeping old Jewish laws? Or maybe it's Jesus Earthy Hedonist cuz he was described in the Bible as a glutton and a drunk?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
