and I might raise a point of order, so to speak, about the source article on this matter;
which Jesus is being refuted?
the Jesus crucified on Thursday, or the Friday one?
the Jesus that Matthew inerrantly reports wants us to follow the Law, or the Jesus Paul asserts doesn't ?
the chatty, engaging confident Jesus that was crucified, or the dark and despairing Jesus that went to the cross ?
See, if they only refute one of them, the Christians will still have a backup Jesus.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
