Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

[TheMessiah]

Mess, how likely is it that you can present your case and discuss such merits as you consider it to have, without discussing the character and motivations of everyone who doesn't automatically accept your position? See, such posturing and muddying of the waters does suggest to the casual observer that your case is so weak, it can only be amplified by subduing other voices.

I think you are confused, I am not ''subduing'' anyone's voice nor am I attacking their character - I've responding to those claims, it begs to question why I have been accused of being ''pretend Atheist'' at-least two or three times. That's not just ''discussing character motivations'' --- that's me responding to accusations which are a blatant attempt to frame me as ideologically biased; as if being an Atheist is now somehow an ideology.

If by your own admission, discussing character motivations evidences a weak case, then logically speaking, the accusations of calling me a ''pretend Atheist'' for not toeing the line fit that statement quite well; if one's case is so weak that they resort to calling their opponent a Christian, it does in fact do what you just said.
