Quote:You say that you avoid claims of certainty, yet you have "no doubt" that the NT Jesus is a myth! The two statements seem to contradict each other.



Point taken;I should have been less emphatic. Instead let's say "I'm confident that the Jesus of the Gospel is myth due to the lack of credible evidence to the contrary" OF COURSE I may be wrong,no matter how unlikely I think that may be.

Personal certitude is NOT the same as certainty,,but good enough for daily living.

I've received a similar call,and said some very unkind things*. Pretty sure the guy was trying to scam me. Was I 100% certain? Of course not, but sure enough to act on the belief I was right.

*I seem to remember using the term 'pig fucker'
