MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[His_Majesty]

A lot of rambling going on in there. Not sure how you drew the conclusion that those accounts have competing views.

But.....you...should....be. It's your "case for christ". I shouldn't have to bring this to your attention since you deigned to include it, but..

....like so-

Pliny the younger was the nephew of Pliny the Elder - a military officer (and famous author in his own right) who probably ended his career sometime during the waning years of Nero's reign. You might remember him, supposedly he persecuted christians (so sayeth tacitus and suetonius) to some hilarious degree. Pliny the Younger (and his uncle) were well educated members of the aristocracy and so between them both a number of important positions were held. P the Y was particularly accomplished - he's essentially a case study in roman social strata (due to his being so well documented), who wound up the governor of a place in modern day Turkey.

In case any of this has flown over your head lets sum this up, in reference to the text you hope to use to establish the existence of some "jesus christ".

A well educated and well placed man who was the nephew of a senior military officer during the reign of Nero - who lived and governed in modern day turkey (after a successful legal career all over the region)- didn't seem to know a godamned thing about the christians - and had certainly never been to a trial of a single one of them- who are supposedly all the way to Rome by the time of his writing, being persecuted (and having been persecuted)- and just generally causing trouble all over the place with their well attested and famous ideology and messiah.

But it gets deeper, what was Trajans response to Pliny regarding christians? Calm and tolerant jurisprudence. He told him not to seek them out, he told him not to condemn them on the finger pointing of others, and he told Pliny that if they so much as paid token to Rome all would be dismissed.

-and you'll get every fucking ounce of that from your own source......that you clearly never read.

Any questions?

Again, as I previously said...my main source for the Christian persecution was from Tactius, because he is giving an account that took place much earlier than the time of Pliny..so of course I will go with the earlier account first.

So basically, everything you just said is completely irrelevant, because I had previously told you what I am basing my account on..yet you ignored it to continue this irrelevant tirade that means nothing.

I was beginning to feel left out because shit-stain is ignoring me.

If you noticed it, then it must be working.

Then I remembered, it's a standard tactic for these dimwits.

Looks like to me as if you should of figure that part out first...or are you that ass backwards?

Poor bastard's just too dumb to know when his ass is getting kicked.

Getting my ass kicked by who? Damn sure not you
