Why?
Quote:Granted, that may not be your actual target market. Do you intend atheists to buy history for atheists, or did you write it for fundies?
Mainly atheists, though it’s really for any rationalist who prefers accurate history over myths. So are you saying that unless I confirm commonly held misconceptions and myths, I won’t be well received by atheists? That seems very irrational.
Quote: Tim.....are you a snake oil salesman or a historian?
I’m a history writer who draws on the expert consensus of professional historians.
Quote:Prove it - either way. You have the whole floor.
I do? For what? You’re the one who claimed something about the Church “shitting on discovery”, but despite being asked twice now to elaborate on what you’re referring to, you seem weirdly coy about doing so. I can’t discuss this vague claim until you make it less vague. So, please finally do so. You have the whole floor.
