Do you have something worthwhile to add to the discussion or is jesus freak propaganda the best we can expect from you?
I can't help but notice that you aren't putting up any evidence of this shit's existence before Eusebius. That would be new. But it doesn't exist.
So it seems you are shit out of luck, as usual.
It's not my case to make... every copy we have has some form of the testamonium. And I don't find your reasons very convincing or that it logically follows the evidence you have. I find your focus on me, rather than making your case, even less persuasive. Not to mention that there are other early references that support the historicity of Jesus. The argument from silence is stronger against your position then it is for it. And even hostile (to Christianity) scholars almost unanimously decry the conclusions and methods of the mythers. Sorry, but shifting the burden of proof isn't going to cut it either.
