Quote:I wish skeptics could settle on a side. If the gospels appear to contradict each other, they say that's evidence that they were fabricated.
Once again you have your head up your ass. Apologetic bullshitters aside, scholars understand that the so-called gospel of mark was written first and large parts of it were lifted ( plagiarized in the modern parlance ) from OT texts. The later gospels of matty and luke ( whoever the fuck they were ) were re-writes of mark and the contradictions are crystal clear and seem to derive mainly from the desire of the authors to appeal to different audiences. Lastly we have john who seems to have been highly upset at the way his godboy was portrayed and set out to make him more heroic and magical.
So what you have is a fictional ( and plagiarized ) story, two fanfics and a sequel. I know you don't want to hear this but your wants are of crashing indifference to me. Say hello to Swedenborg when you see him.
