Sodom found?

Meh, I think this is one of the rare occassions that brian hits the nail precisely on the head.  These stories are as based in history as abraham lincoln vampire slayer, mostly less.

No one is claiming that the Biblical story of Sodom is ‘based’ in history, merely that it may have been inspired by an historical event.

Just because the Noahic flood is ahistorical doesn’t mean ancient people didn’t deal with floods.

Nonsense. It's the usual bait and switch.

"We're not saying magic Jesus existed, we just want to know if it's based on something historical."

"Okay, it's quite possible that it is based upon something historical."

"Praise Jesus, magic Jesus did exist! Hallelujah!"
