Re: On the "Bad Character" Lineage
What you need to convict someone is (1) evidence of a crime, (2) an "enraged" jury and then (3) demonstrations of the "bad character" of the accused. You don't know what you're talking about, again. I sat on a murder trial as a juror; I took an active role in the discussions of ...

Details, details: That Odd Ark Theory
Here's a "Story Conference Transcript" supposedly dated to 1978 : Philip Kaufman — "... kind of a Middle Eastern adventure based around a similar idea to something like that book "The Spear of Destiny" where the Nazis were into mystical cults and so forth, and they were loo...

Switcheroo?
His game is far, far, far 'Too Complicated' (read snark, there) for me to follow.

Re: eConference: The Market for Biblical Antiquities" 1852-2022
Indeed. Forgers were certainly active in Palestine in the early- mid-20th C.; the scope of their trade is not generally known to lay-people, but it was extensive for the niche market.
Here's a 1984 article on mid-20th C. forgery that's useful background.

Re: What You See/What You Don't See
Smith's homosexuality led him to him to misread the letter. This should be taken seriously as a possibility. You assume something innate, here. By analogy: Would you say someone 'being a woman' would lead them to misread something? A 'feminist perspective' might be identified in a female (or male) ...

Re: Sabar's New Morton Smith Article
Drivel.
I don't fault M.Smith for being a closeted homosexual. I fault M.Smith for being a psychopathic fraud. His belabored, grandiose ploy might yet baffle simple minds, but it doesn't baffle me.

Re: Sabar's Article is about You?
But this isn't about you, is it? It's about M.Smith quite deliberately queering Jesus. And Why: 'I Lie Because I Can.' Sure: maybe an historical Jesus lived AND he was oriented towards same-sex relationships. Who knows! But if --IF-- Smith CREATED this document/narrative, don't you agree he must hav...

Freddie Mercury never Came Out as a Gay Man, Either
So everything Secret Alias has written testifying to Morton Smith being a slandered heterosexual is now proven rubbish? Oh dear. Color me surprised. And what a hill to die on ... Whether or not Smith was gay (or bisexual) I do not care; whether a scholar's self-loathing, or a 'hidden self' warped hi...
