It's great in a "gee, Resh has a skull no more permeable than titanium" sort of way, I suppose. You're masturbating through the whole thing.

For the record, Tom's post refers to the last post on the last page, and not MrSquicky's post. Man that confused me (although I admit I am very tired).

quote:I guess you weren't talking to me, KoM. But I was talking to you. Fair enough? But your objection to the options you believe are being left out are really not possible. Jesus most certainly was not a legend, and no one really doubts that the things that the gospels said that he said were never really said. There were many thousands of people who heard his words, and much of the gospel's content was considered common knowledge at the time.
Jesus quite possibly was a legend. I realise this is not something you are going to hear in Sunday School, but nevertheless, the evidence for his historicity is exceeding flimsy. And I most certainly do doubt that the gospels are an exact record of his words; for one thing, they contradict each other, and for another, they were copied for several centuries by half-literate monks notorious for miscopying and for inserting stuff they thought would sound good. You really should try not to extrapolate from "I believe X" to "Nobody believes not-X", it's rather rude.

Oh, well. I don't consider the explanation wasted. Maybe other people will find it useful or interesting.
