Q, M and L don't exist and the 27 gospels are copies of it other with made up details . As for acts it's not historical . And yes they did contradict each other on most primary idea's so your full of shit . And no most of the main idea's about Jesus were not known before the gospels that pig shit. And the things that were persevered from the contrary . The gospels are full of red flags that no other document would pass. Paul does not get a start of innocence no historian does that why we study there work .The bible is not unique and even if were it's would not make a difference. No the record is shoddy as hell and the witnesses account could not be more suspect . I could go on but this shits been debunked by actual historians (like carrier) So I find it like correcting a creationist . It not hyper skepticism it's having actual standards unlike you who wants comforting stories.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
