Fuck you, Randy.  You can make rules for yourself.  No one else.

Especially when the reliability of the NT is at the very heart of the matter.  You can't expect one to take your attempts at proving the resurrection via historical accounts if the history surrounding the creation of the gospels - the claim you're trying to prove - is off limits.

You can't just say "For this exercise, we'll assume it happened" if you want to be taken seriously at all.
