Re: Second Hand Information
Jesus was the envelope that contained the Creators message. Chew on that one awhile.
Word salad. Means nothing.

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.

Re: you got some 'splainin to do...
The link goes on to explain the life of Jesus as further evidence
This is what this yahoo(the writer obviously has some basic problems with logic) has to say about that.
quote:
the historical character, actions, and words of Jesus of Nazareth; his death, and the emptiness of the tomb he was buried in shortly after;
There is no historical evidence for any of this. None. There are the writings included in the bible, nothing else. The writings in the bible are of no value historically to show the historical existence of this character.

Re: you got some 'splainin to do...
What I mean is that the public reaction to the death, burial, and reported resurrection of Jesus is much greater than most others who have died.
There was no public reaction at the time. None. If there were there would have been some sort of public record.

Re: you got some 'splainin to do...
There never was meant to be evidence.
As a typical apologist this writer is being deceptive and dishonest. He claims there is historical evidence, but expects people to accept that on faith alone? There either is historical evidence or there isn't. If there is, someone should present it.
Why is it that men such as Richard Carrier attempt to spread misinformation and attempt to squash the faith of Christians?
What disinformation is he spreading? He has extensive research in what he writes. I really don't think he gives a rats ass about the faith of Christians. This is just more of your christian persecution syndrome. Unless of course you can show he is trying to hurt christian fee fees. He only cares about the evidence and where it leads.
