Is Jesus the son of God?

[Minimalist]

I already know all I need to know. Just another xtian shitwit who thinks his fucking fairy tales are real.

We've seen it all before Stim.

I find this statement to be an inaccurate portrayal of my position, as I clearly stated my position in a previous post, and you either missed it, or chose to ignore it.

Nonetheless, here it is again:

Now before you get the wrong impression, I do concede that much about the man in the Gospels is an embellishment of an actual historical figure.

Hopefully you will keep that in mind as this discussion continues, so that we can avoid unnecessary ad hominems in an effort to keep this discussion civilized.

I read it. I'm simply not impressed by it...or you.

Aslan or Ehrmann make the same claims. They look over the story and subtract what is inconvenient for them. It's called the Sharpshooter Fallacy, you can look that up too.

We have ONE story of your boy: The so-called gospel of mark. Everything else is derived from it by other authors who added in various claims and miracles to impress the dolts....successfully, I might add. They are FanFics in modern parlance.

So which parts of the story are you willing to sacrifice to your modern sense of "historicity." Remember that whatever you come up with - except the resurrection which was not in the original 'mark' - will not be backed up by the only evidence you claim to have.
