P.S. I'll accept the debate if Min is too exhausted of the old run-around.
P.P.S. One stipulation: I'll be using the Bible as my source. If you wish to argue that the "historical Jesus" was nothing like the Biblical character, as far as I'm concerned it isn't Jesus.
Hi, DeistPaladin,
I agree that “argument from silence” is not a logical fallacy in the event that we should reasonably expect to find evidence. However, I previously explained how the Christ-Myth proponents’ use of the argument from silence was faulty.
Let’s wait and see what Min says in response to my invitation.
Kind regards,

I informed you of nothing...other than that I think you are just a xtian troll.
Hi, Min,
Please forgive me for the misunderstanding, then. Is your answer yes or no? If the argumentation I offered truly is “regurgitated shit” and “horseshit,” it really should not take very much time or energy to refute at all.
Cordially,
