The first thing to note is that he argues for a historical Jesus, not a magical Jesus. I've never once denied there could be a pie and mash guy underneath all the story. So what?
So what???
Rob, do you even read the crap some of your fellow forum members post? (I can understand if you don't - you aren't missing much.)
Just getting to the point where even atheists can and will admit that Jesus was a real person is a big deal.
And btw, you should consider that I'm not engaging in a one on one conversation with you here...I'm making a case that covers ALL arguments...so, if something I post does not seem to apply to you, well, it wasn't directed at you personally.
If we were in a pub sharing a couple of pints, my approach would be different.
