      The polite thing to do is mention when you edit your comments, just a fyi.

      What I would like is a contemporary written account.

      concede you have a good point and are correct if you will agree that viruses aren’t real cause we have no evidence to your standards in this thread for them.

      non sequitur. Also I am curious why the first part of your comment was asking me what my standards were while the second part is you telling me what they were. Is this an example of arguing in bad faith? Maybe ask the “majority of scholars”.

          If anything, what I did was a false equivalence. God, you sound like me 15 years ago, and I was a twat. You also sound like my mum and she’s an antivaxxer.

          Attack the argument and not the person.

          I assumed your position from the rest of your comments

          You know what they say about assumptions. Why not just ask me? I am right here.

          groups of experts (or a consensus of experts) are not reliable, contemporary sources as considered in the general field are unreliable unless you want to use them to further your point (tacitus or Josephus).

          Neither men were contemporary.

          So by these standards, what do we know of history? Not much, I’d argue.

          Really not my problem that historical research is difficult. Theist complain about this a lot, that it is really difficult to prove God.

          what’s the fuckin point of your post except to be an angsty lil kid? Who are you impressing here

          Attack the argument and not the person. You don’t want to give people the wrong idea.

          Now, how is that contemporary evidence of Jesus going, find it yet? Also I noticed you neglected to answer my questions in the last comment. Feel free to have a go at it again.

                You thought that was an attack when it was an honest question.

                You answered the question though, so it’s all good.

              I am not sure that you did but if it matters so much to you fine I will acknowledge that you committed one logical fallacy vs a different one.

              Right so it seems you have moved on to the part of the debate where you have given up personal attacks, and now are entering argument about argument. How I am arguing my point doesn’t suit you, instead of what my point is.

              Maybe we can steer this back a bit? Can you please provide contemporary evidence for Jesus’ existence.

                  Didn’t find the evidence I take it. Also a fyi the Gospels and Letters were written in Greek ;)
