Big Jesus myther victory: doing victory dance

Discuss either theological doctrines, ideas about God, or Biblical criticism. I don't want any debates about creation vs evolution.

Big Jesus myther victory: doing victory dance

Post by Metacrock » Sun Mar 02, 2014 12:58 pm

after 3 decades of intenet apologetics the mythers have finally gotten to the point where they have 3 actual bible scholars who agree with them:

Arthur Droge, professor of early Christianity at UCSD, Kurt Noll, associate professor of religion at Brandon University, and Thomas Thompson, renowned professor of theology, emeritus, at the University of Copenhagen believe that you cannot say whether Jesus existed or not.

Thomas Brodie, director emeritus of the Dominican Biblical Centre at the University of Limerick, Ireland, and Robert Price, who has two Ph.D.’s from Drew University, in theology and New Testament studies, and Richard Carrier, Ph.D. in ancient history from Columbia University, are certain Jesus never existed.
this is from a myther publication talking about how one of them converted the other one:

given that you can probably find some somebody somewhere saying just about anything, they have three guys after three decades is that a big deal?

J.P. Holding did an entry about Brodie's book in his blog last year:

I don't know if it's too big of a deal if Carrier is part of it.

I know Carrier is a major guy in that. We can't make the argument "this must be wrong becuase Carrier likes it."

I don't think it's such a big deal that after so long they found three schoalrs who support them. I still have not looked up those guy's standing.
