Not at all. I am one who is clearly, concisely, and logically demonstrating through rational reasoning why various arguments against Christianity, while on the surface appear to be of some merit, are actually, once clearly understood, simply not sound.

There's no way that the event wouldn't have been recorded by somebody if it actually happened.
The historians of the era didn't record it therefore it must have happened
The event was recorded by somebody. It was recorded by Matthew the gospel writer.
Decades after the "fact" and by no other Gospel writer, even though such a supposedly well attested event would have buttressed their stories! You seriously can't understand the problem with that?
I love that clear, concise Christian logic.
