And we have how many pages of "discussion" now, and I don't even know the color of the dust jacket on Carrier' supposed book, nor a description of Carrier; they must not exist must not exist!
There are a number of things wrong with this reasoning.... we can discuss them, but I would think there would be better arguments to focus on.
I see no reason to move past this. The narrative in question, which is -about- jesus, is a narrative about a man with no face, and no mannerisms. It's actually quite an anomaly. You know why mythicists think this is, but why do you think this is?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
