I get that densely fact resistant people will start talking about how much they love lamp, however...an apologist's nut twisting is irrelevant.
A path remains as open as ever, and is represented in christian beliefs....that would allow a person of faith to acknowledge the history of their religion for what it is while maintaining the gospel justification. We even saw it in this thread. God saved the bits he thought were most important to his plan. What was god protecting the text from....? Well, all the shit a nutball christer feels compelled to deny. Outright fraud. Interpolation. Pseudepigrapha. Competing churches and sub-sect discontinuity. Legend..and yes, even mythmaking.
What parts did he save, specifically? Who the fuck knows. Maybe some parts. Or maybe it was protected in such a way that the fundamental historical inaccuracy of the christ myth became irrelevant to the underlying spiritual reality of the contents that mytheme presents.
I'd shoot for that one..personally..since we're already swingin for the nutball fence anyway.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
