As I stated on another thread. Utter lack of self-awareness.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

He'll be back in 6 months after he deals with his crisis of faith and thinks he has another whizbang argument, that will in actuality be a retread of his same old tired argument. There will probably be new people he will not respond to, like me.

Neither Eddy nor Boyd are historians. They are fundamentalist Christians that are attempting to turn theology into history.

What he does say is that the S on the M was a compilation of things that Jesus said but is not a stand alone sermon.
Based upon what? What original sources does he use to justify this proclamation?
Also Bauckham contends that the Gospel is either directly written by Matthew or more likely from material supplied by Matthew.
Matthew who? Where was he born? What else did he write? What historical sources attest to who he was?​ What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

Atheists have no spokesperson. The only thing we have in common is a disbelief in gods. We do not belong to a cult.

No they do not use scientific methodology. They make stuff up out of whole cloth. It is indisputable that there is no contemporary historical evidence for a Jesus Christ. None, zip, nada.

Richard Bauckham wrote a a long book with a great deal of detailed evidence as to the authors of the Gospels.
He had no evidence, because there is no evidence. He had assertions a suppositions. Those are vastly different things.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

Evidence has nothing to do with proof. Evidence is evidence. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts.

Instead of using the vile and evil Mother Teresa as an example of goodness(which she was not), let's find someone else.
Rosa Parks? Jimmy Carter? Nelson Mandela? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.
