RE: Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

Yeah Huggy dismisses Odin because he is derived and familiar from other religions, while Jesus who never said anything that wasn't already in OT or some other book is apparently genuine with his life and death that has been done to death in other religions. I mean virgin birth, son of god, turning wine into blood, having apostles, death and resurrection are nothing new in 30 CE.
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"
