Re: Matthew 27:25: a self-blaming lynch mob?
This seems like a typical Christian-apologist argument. If one can construct a scenario that supports one's position, no matter how implausible it might be, then one has won. Even if there are much more plausible scenarios for other possibilities. A Christian apologist? Absolutely not. It's simply ...

Re: Matthew 27:25: a self-blaming lynch mob?
Yep. This is one of the most disgusting verses in the New Testament. An obvious outright lie IMO. If in "most disgusting"? I am assuming you are referring to the blaming of the Jews for Jesus Crucifixion. But I do not see it that way. Now the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds ...

Re: Thorburn, The Mythical Interp of the Gospels
Hey DC: I have a copy in Word Document of a series of articles published in 1907 on Mystic Christianity authored by Yogi Ramacharaka. Though I have only skimmed over it as I myself am gathering different authors in an effort to see how the debates went on this subject in later times. I share this wi...

Re: Why the Certainty on the Part of Mythicists?
I think it's just as legitimate (maybe more so) to ask historicists why they're so sure there WAS a Jesus and what they even mean by an HJ anymore. But I think that's obvious. Behind every faithful person is a domineering mommy or daddy or both. Not true. My Father was an atheist. Mother was agnost...

Re: Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Jesus"
In the words A Kempis Thomas, I submit the following on this thread: If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should all this profit thee without the love and grace of God? Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, save to love God, and Him only to serve. That is the ...

Re: Acharya S and the real Christ Conspiracy
Thank you Gakusei Don, your comment here is far more balanced and informative than some of your previous statements about this material. I have quoted your comment in full at Acharya's Discussion Board Free Thought Nation, as it certainly deserves discussion and response in an environment where fun...

Re: Steven DiMattei: Case Against Mythicists
Has anyone seen this? http://stevendimattei.com/case-mythists/ Views? Note: elsewhere, DiMattei rejects the TF and holds that the "Christ" is indeed a literary creation. 5) If Jesus Christ of the gospels was a literary invention (which he was even from my admission above; so let’s say a l...
