Jesus Myth - The Case Against Historical Christ

[Sir-Think-A-Lot]

I'm just cracking up reading this thread. It's like Member has some kind of special filter on his computer to automatically mask every question he's been asked, and every piece of evidence systematically presented and proving him wrong. From a purely sociological standpoint it's simply fascinating.

Have you read the other thread he started where he insisted that the ressurected saints in Matthew were zombies, without a shread of evidence other than 'they were dead and started walking around'

[Xerxes]

Yeah, I've heard the "zombie" terminology used in a few places before he used it, though. I just chalk it up to the modern trend of village atheists trying to get an emotional rise out of people when they don't have a rigorous argument to make. It's right up there in laughability with the "God raped Mary" routine, and Jimbo's "ancient war god" mantra.

[jpholding]

From here, it looks like you don't care about anything but winning the argument

It's more like, the argument's already won, no answer is forthcoming, so there's not much else to do.

But what do I know--I'm only a lowly Pagan.

What about next week?

So...irrationality is now equated with uncertainty?

Seems to be referring to any rational, logical argument that defeats his. I.e. Your use of logic is irrational because it shows my argument to be incorrect.

I'm thinking he took lessons from Ish, the irrational rationalist.

[Teallaura]

...
You have 100% certainty where 100% certainty is not possible. This is why you are irrational. No mental games, no logic puzzles, nothing can change that.

Stay Cool!

*italicized emphasis mine

You're making an assertion of irrationality by using an irrational argument? You just asserted that logic, and by implication reason, could not change the lack of absolute certitude - by making an absolute statement.

If absolute certitude is impossible then you can't be 100% certain that absolute certitude is impossible - this is therefore an irrational argument as it relies on the very premise that you are supposedly refuting.




Speaking as a former atheist - that's embarrassing...

JP the hutt absolutely does have some kind of weird internet cult here where he is their "pope" so to speak.

I don't only use JPH for my only refrence dim witted one. I have a stack of theology books sitting on my test back in my room right now. Tell me... ever read the Bible for yourself? Ever read any theological books or do you simply listen to everything you are told without ever looking something more up?

On the JesusNeverExisted.com guestbook, someone recently wrote "JP Holding has all the answers". I was a bit shocked as he wasn't even saying Jesus has the answers, but JP the Hutt!

That's nice... wasn't me or other's who did it. Do you have a point or do you just want to ramble?

As for little angel and phoenix's assertion that I can be insulted at will because I "deserve it", let's look at the very first post I made here...

And notice that I didn't post in that thread for quite a while... I also was reading your e-mails and saw your attitude long before you tried to play your little games in that thread . Just like than, you show that you don't care about learning anything new, you don't care about looking at the possibility you might be wrong, and you don't care about the truth. You want to be free to rant and cry. Sorry, not going to let you do that here.

Stay Cool!

Stay stupid!

Edited to add: I forgot to thank Goonerman for his intresting post a few pages back. Thanks for the new info, I'll make sure to read more about it.

I think member and rat are both gone.


Just when I was starting to have fun too.

Da rat didn't last too long. I thought the coward would post again, but I guess not.

Oh, he will. He just needs to get his self esteem back up.

I think that's it exactly.
