Having re-read your post, I realize how I wasn't clear.
I'm not forbidding any discussion. I mean to say as a TACTIC, it's not productive. Our focus, as a matter of the most effective debate tactic, should be on the miracle working godman.
With a little mental slight of hand, the apologist can shift the burden of proof onto the myther, forcing us to prove a negative, and we waste a lot of time and energy on whether or not the Annals of Tacitus meets the burden of proof.
My apologies for not being clear.
