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

So let me get this straight... all that Christians have to show us for evidence is the bible. And Albert here is saying it's just a ridiculous story? Wow. OK, well I'm impressed you found a "Christian mythicist" (or the closest you'll get to one I guess) and I've yet more appreciation for the marvels of cognitive dissidence and just plain making shit up. It does act as a counter example to my blanket statement, so I was wrong Smile

Albert Schweitzer was not a mythicist... lol... he believed Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher, the dominant view held by secular scholarship.

Wait, Pyrrho and the others who liked the quote thought that the man who launched the "First Quest" for the historical Jesus was a mythicist? (And that the HJ is irrelevant? Lol?). The man who said that, in Bart Ehrman's paraphrase, "the problem with the historical Jesus is that he was far too historical."

Fuckin' Christ people . . . The desperation is getting depressing.
