To CoxRox:
I am a man of limited patience. If you wish to perform your mental gymnastics to shoe-horn everything about Christianity into your nice little bubble, be my guest. But if you want to convince others of the truth of these claims, you should probably stop trying to do it like a five year old, because the first reaction I have is to piss myself laughing. The second reaction, to pity anybody near you who you inflict this shit upon. You're in your forties, and it's fairly embarrassing that somebody twenty years your junior should have to explain things like 'don't use your own presuppositions to prove a claim' or 'don't cite things like Josephus which have long ago been proven to be a load of shit'.
You're either fairly stupid or wilfully dishonest when you come in here claiming that things like Josephus give you the support you need to believe what you believe. Even the slightest bit of research would tell you how flimsy a source that is, so you either haven't bothered to check it, or you have and you're ignoring the evidence that doesn't already support your view, which is what I suspect. Why don't you just have the honesty to say that you believe it because you want to? Your position isn't based on mountains of credible evidence, it's based on your own wishful thinking. That much is painfully obvious to anyone who gives this thread even a cursory glance.
