Christians too have millions of sites where they denigrate other religions. You do not have much right to complain. A pot should not call a kettle black.

Unless the OP personally created or contributed to such a website, yes he does. Or do you mean to imply that all Christians are bigots?

Hey!
I was on YA and saw someone posted a link to this BS site. I skimmed through it and the material provided there is extremely filled with hatred against my religion. It's disgusting.

Brother, the devil is constantly working to thwart the truth. Remember that early Christians were hated and killed, even Jesus was killed by haters.

1 Peter 4
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

1) I'm not religious.
2) I generally go to Hutton when I can for a reason: he was raised pagan and is either an atheist or agnostic.
3) Unfortunately, neurotic tendencies and a hatred for translations meant that even though modern languages are barely related to my field, I still not only took the time to learn (read) Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, German, French, Navajo, Hittite, and to a lesser extent other languages, I actually took the time as an undergrad to add ancient Greek & Latin as an additional major. Apart from being an exercise in futility, the point is that I can read the primary sources myself. Also, thanks to access to databases like the TLC, TLL, JSTOR, and various databases of papyri and other electronic versions of primary sources (as well as the printed volumes I own), I actually HAVE the relevant sources in e.g., Greek & Latin among other dead languages to see for myself the nature of religious practices in antiquity.
4) Most of the history hear comes from classicists and classics, not biblical studies, and even biblical studies has been relatively free of doctrinal biases for the past two centuries. After all, the "historical Jesus quest" was basically initiated by Reimarus to under mine Christianity, the responses by the Christian intellectuals of the early 19th century were destroyed by Strauss, and the attempt to restore Christ via the liberal lives (reaching their epitome in the work of Renan) were demolished by Schweitzer. The kind of idiocy concerning dying and resurrecting gods and so forth vomited forth by this site is a sad rehash of late 19th century and early 20th century scholarly and amateurish attempts by those like Frazer which were heavily criticized for their problems at the time and remain only due to the ignorance of those who tell others to study history because they've read a few websites and some popular books (if that).
5) Feel free to provide the historical accounts you seem to think exist that are not "untainted by religious belief" and aren't written by some moron whose historical knowledge and academic proficiency is limited to ripping of other websites, misquoting popular sources, and claiming that communism is a Christian tool developed by "the Jews" as reflected in this anti-Semitic, paranoid-delusional website.

Exactly one source (or multiple source from the same group) are not very trustworthy.

No, I certainly do not imply that. I am only stating what happens on internet. But I do get your point. If steve-vk has not created or contributed to such a web-site, I must and do apologize to him. He has the right to complain (just as I had my complaint).

Fair enough, but it isn't logical to suggest that the OP has no right to complain if he's not one who is contributing to the problem himself (i.e., if he is not a bigot, and he's not a pot calling a kettle black).

What is this thread about exactly? That the claims on the website are untrue?

You realize you're on the internet right. The overwhelming majority of it would not be considered credible in any right.

Maybe we've got an Internet Virgin on our hands. If so, I'm very, very disappointed I didn't get to pop their cherry. How ever shall I console myself?

Internet's not all bad. Just gotta get real good at ignoring most of it.

I am always quite saddened by how poorly equipped people are at sorting through credible sources on the internet. But, to be fair, not everyone was writing papers in schools when computers were about.
