Chi Pan cut an ran from the debate before it was concluded. If you think you can handle the subject any better than he did, I'll happily have that debate the same topic with you if the moderators will allow.
Poor Chi Pan probably didn't realize this wasn't a debate about Jesus Myth vs. Historicity, even though I thought I made that clear. This was a debate about whether or not the Gospels are based on a "true story", meaning Jesus was more than just "some religious leader crucified by the Romans".
To be clear: I'm not a Jesus Myther. I'm a Jesus Mooter. As in "OK, some guy named Yeshua (common name) who was some sort of Messiah wannabe (one of many) who was crucified by Pilate (like many Jewish leaders were)? Fine. Get back to me when we can know anything about him."
If you're prepared to debate that topic and the mods will allow, let me know.
I'd like to debate the Resurrection as a whole...the Gospels are just one part within the subject...which is why I tried to build a cumulative case for the Resurrection starting with Part 1, and then just build from there...but Fidel wanted to pull his God card and he kinda messed up that for me...and now you know how my case is build so the element of surprise won't be there, at least, for how I'd like it to be.
