Where did the Jesus myth come from?

@Atom, when you've got a minute: Did you manage to "find a theistic argument, that is an argument made by theists in general or any one theist in particular, in the quote of Min's you just gave" in your post #388, as per my challenge to you?

Or are you perhaps ready to "retract your accusation of ad hominem" yet?

I have limited time and have to prioritize in choosing a threads and posts to respond to, so I look for posts that say something credible in argumentation. Lets agree to disagree on this. Lets just say it was ad hom to me, and not to you. I am sorry if I offended. That wasn't my intent.

I can understand having to prioritise which threads in which to participate, I myself tend to restrict my contributions to those areas with which I am more familiar or in which I feel I actually can make a contribution. I'm certainly not offended, only slightly mystified about your perception as to what constitutes an ad hominem. It's not a question of how it looks to me as compared to your good self; if there was no ad hom then there was no ad hom and Min's comments contained nothing more than an opinion as to the nature and behaviour of theists. It really is as simple as that. You can call it an insult, if you like, but terms like ad hominem have very specific applications and ought not to be tossed around like confetti.
