The Jesus Myth

[fallingblood]

do you mean interpreted writings or do you mean paperweights?

So, of everything I have posted, you comment on this? I am done with you until you can supply reasons why you believe Jesus did not exist. Submit your arguments. That is the point of this thread.

 

[sojourner]

so you didn't read about history?

I'd like to know what you mean by "history." Do you mean the reporting of the bald facts, or do you refer to the cultural story? And while we're on the subject, what do you mean by "testimony?" Because ultimately, all reported facts begin with testimony.

It seems to me that you're trying to force a square peg into a round hole here.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

like the history of you believing testimony?

You've slipped from ignorant rambling to just flat embarassing yourself.

And it looks like you're actually trying to do so.

Peer review is the standard in any discipline: Science and medicine included.

Oh, sure. Those ghostbusters peer review each other all the time. It just looks kinda odd to me, that's all I'm saying.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

For the love of God, folks.

This is why we need critical thinking and philosophy taught in public schools.

What does? That historians have developed and have continued to develop historical methods by which they study the past, and other more seasoned historians review the process to check for logical, factual, and philosophical errors?

This should be intuitive.

yeah well it is not a sentence it is a question. learn to read.

Corehent questions are often sentences as well. :yes:

is that why you end your sentences with question marks?

I end interrogative sentences with question marks.

Sentences can also be classified based on their purpose:

• A declarative sentence or declaration, the most common type, commonly makes a statement: "I am going home."
• An interrogative sentence or question is commonly used to request information — "When are you going to work?" — but sometimes not; "see" rhetorical question.
• An exclamative sentence or exclamation is generally a more emphatic form of statement expressing emotion: "What a wonderful day this is!"
• An imperative sentence or command tells someone to do something: "Go to work at 7:30 in the morning."

Fortunately it's a bit like banging one's head against a sponge wall.

It was a subtle transition ...

because I a comedian and I recognize the bible as a comedic piece of art.
what criteria does a scholar have?

if you all get off my butt and wait for me to slap your posts down one at a time I will.

It literally invites the comment: what a joke!

don't everybody get their panties in a twist because I am answering this first...
I just happened to click this link first out of convenience.

I know.
if I make a statement and put a question mark at the end of it will you kindly not interpret the overall structure of the statement as a sentence?

Studying the gospels as an historian seems to me like studying Gone With the Wind as an historian, except with GWTW, one has much more supporting material.

Who was Rhett Butler? I mean, can we strip away all the obvious fiction and theology in GWTW and find the 'real Rhett' of historical importance?

I dunno, but it seems like a wishy washy endeavor to me.

As for 'philosophical errors'? Yeah, that's like peer reviewing for spiritual errors... which doesn't seem far from peer reviewing for ghost-theory errors.

But as I say, I wouldn't be making these comments except for the 'hysterical' jab.

ouch next thing you know you'll be joking about jesus' existence.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

You apparently 'know' very little and far more important is the overall structure of your intent. (BTW: You do a disservice to Rabbi Wine.)

crappy word choice.
are you a seasoned historian, is that why your testimony is eaten up?

 

[fallingblood]

Can we please get back on the actual subject of this thread? Jelly, will you not even try to make an effort to state why you don't believe Jesus was a historical character?

how much should I know before I am unable to recoginize the bible as a comedic piece of art?

Just as much as you need to know to defecate in public.
