Thanks. I'll keep this forum in mind. I'm rather undecided on mythicism. Most of the arguments from real degreed scholars for mythicism have appeared to be stronger to me when compared to the arguments from scholars for historicity. But what I don't understand is why mythicism is such a tiny minority position and why so many atheist scholars laugh it off. The reviews by Carrier and others of Erhman's new book were quite eyeopening to me. If Erhman's book is any indication, perhaps a proper non-loony form of mythicism hasn't had a chance to be fairly evaluated yet by mainstream scholars.
