Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
RE: Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach
Wow.

Jesus mythers are those that believe Jesus was most likely a myth. So what? You're saying it's really important to them, and that they use it to not have to think about how Jesus could have been magic. How do you support this accusation? Or are you just projecting onto them?

Cato: Of course, the NT character is almost entirely a mythical construction. That is very different to whether there happened to be some numpty at the time who the story was based around, which is what "historical Jesus" is. People like Bart and Tim who Randy keeps referring to argue for the numpty, not the whole story guy.

Why would we are about a numpty? And I'd doubt you'd find even one mythicist anywhere who would totally deny the possibility of a HJ, or that it's "really important to them".

This is more strawmanning.

Personally, I couldn't give a fuck if the entire NT was true apart from the magic parts. Again, it's irrelevant.

EDIT: Ahah, correction. I wouldn't even care if the magic parts were true, insofar as it's at all possible for them to be true.
