Collation of the bible was around the time period you suggest, but the individual accounts are traced closer between 50-100ad as far as I know, so also unlikely to be eyewitness, but written accounts of verbal diarrhea that passed for their faith.

I broadly agree, but its probably best its pointed out before a theist uses those inaccuracies to undermine your entire point.

Yeah good point. I was saying the accounts were like...50-100 AD so if they WERE written by the people they were supposedly written by [the four gospels] then the guys would be at least in their 80s or something. Fuck, I can write a 300 page book in about a year. They had FOUR GUYS tag-teaming this book and it took them 50+ years? Come the fuck on. lol And people take it as FACT. THAT'S the real gut-wrenching laugh-ripper....

She asked to be banned in shout.

Apparently we are ALL "Far too negative" for her? Undecided

Christians especially don't like to hear "facts" or "reason" or "logic" or talk of "evidence." It's very jarring and discordant to suddenly be faced with the vastness of the universe and all that is within it, especially for such small-minded people as most of them tend to be...
