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

[CapnAwesome]

Mainstream historians were once convinced that the OT was historical as well.  There seems to be a relationship between cultural and traditional mores and certainty, when it comes to this larger narrative and it's historicity.  We have still only begun with the -assumption- that there was a jesus as an explanation of the stories -about- jesus.  That we -know- this is not a fundamental truth of the cosmos or of narratives seems to be lost on the inertia that tradition has built up.  There need be no such man, no such assumption is required and mythicists contend that not only is it not necessary, it is not present in the texts.

Exactly. That's why I think it's a weak argument.
